Scientific titleA single group trial evaluating one cycle of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy in high risk, stage one non-seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT)
Study acronym111
Study hypothesis111 is a single group trial of a single cycle of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin (BEP500) chemotherapy in high risk stage one non-seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT). It aims to show a two year recurrence rate of less than 5%.

As of 22/02/2011 the anticipated end date for this trial has been updated from 01/06/2012 to 18/03/2013.
Ethics approval(s)South East REC, 20/08/2009, ref: 09/H1102/86
ConditionNewly diagnosed non-seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT)/mixed germ cell tumours (MGCT) with vascular invasion and stage one disease
InterventionSingle cycle of adjuvant BEP chemotherapy comprising:
1. Cisplatin 50 mg/m^2 intravenous (IV) day 1 and day 2
2. Bleomycin 30,000 IU IV infusion day 1 or 2 and 30,000 IU IV/intramuscularly (IM) day 8 and day 15
3. Etoposide 165 mg/m^2 IV days 1, 2 and 3

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexMale
Target number of participants236
Total final enrolment246
Participant inclusion criteria1. Histologically proven non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (GCT) or mixed GCT (MGCT) of the testis
2. Histological proven vascular invasion of the primary tumour into the testicular veins or lymphatics
3. Clinical stage I patients (normal alpha-fetoprotein [AFP] and human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG], or optimum marker decline approaching normal levels after orchidectomy, no evidence of metastases on computed tomography [CT] of the chest, abdomen and pelvis)
4. Men aged greater than or equal to 16 years
5. Creatinine clearance greater than 50 ml/min
6. No previous chemotherapy
7. White blood cells (WBC) greater than 1.5 x 10^9/l and platelets greater than 100 x 10^9/l
8. Fit to receive chemotherapy
9. Able to start BEP chemotherapy as part of 111 study within 6 weeks* of orchidectomy
10. Written informed consent

*It is strongly recommended based on previous studies that adjuvant chemotherapy should start within 6 weeks of orchidectomy. However, if there are unavoidable delays this timescale can be extended to 8 weeks.
Participant exclusion criteria1. All patients with seminoma
2. All patients with non-seminoma greater than clinical stage 1
3. All patients with no vascular invasion
4. Previous chemotherapy
5. Patients with second malignancy except contralateral testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (TIN) and contralateral germ cell tumour treated by orchidectomy and subsequent surveillance of more then 3 years
6. Co-morbidity precluding the safe administration of BEP chemotherapy
7. Patients with renal function impairment (creatinine clearance less than or equal to 50 ml/min)
8. Patients with liver function impairment (bilirubin greater than 1.25 x upper limit of normal [ULN] and/or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] greater than 2 x ULN)
9. Patients with pre-existing neuropathy
10. Patients with pulmonary fibrosis
11. Patients with serious illness or medical conditions incompatible with the protocol
