Non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors (including testis, retroperitoneal and mediastinal primaries) with a disseminated disease (clinical stages II or III according to AJCC 8th edition) and classified as poor prognosis according to IGCCCG criteria.
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary evaluation criterion of the study is progression-free survival (PFS). PFS will be determined from the first day of the first cycle of BEP to the date of progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression will be defined as: - an increase in tumor markers (...), or - a radiographic progression (...)
Detailed description
Efficacy: - Response criteria Best tumor response will be assessed at the end of treatment (after chemotherapy or after surgery of residual masses, if any) (...); - Overall survival (OS) (...), Tolerance: Toxicity: All toxicities will be evaluated and recorded based on the NCI common toxicity criteria (CTCAE v5.0). They will be described by frequency and grade, by cycle and over all cycles, with the maximum grade over all cycles used as the summary measure for each patient. (...)
