Trial Information

A Phase II Study of BMS-247550 In Advanced Germ Cell Tumor Patients - THERAPEUTIC/DIAGNOSTIC PROTOCOL


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the efficacy of ixabepilone in patients with metastatic cisplatin-refractory
germ cell tumors.

- Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10-29 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.3-4
years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

not want to have potentially curative high-dose therapy (mediastinal or primary
refractory GCT)
