Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as bleomycin etoposide and cisplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Colony-stimulating factors such as pegfilgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy Giving combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim may kill more tumor cells
PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim works in treating men with metastatic germ cell tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Determine the feasibility of accelerated treatment comprising bleomycin etoposide cisplatin and pegfilgrastim in men with metastatic germ cell tumors Determine the toxicity of this regimen particularly with respect to renal pulmonary and neurological function in these patients
Secondary
Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen Determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen
OUTLINE This is a non-randomized pilot study
Patients receive etoposide IV on days 1-3 cisplatin IV on days 1 and 2 and bleomycin IV over 2 hours on days 2 6 and 10 Patients also receive pegfilgrastim subcutaneously on day 4 Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for 2 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study
