Brief Title: Ixabepilone in Treating Patients With Advanced Cisplatin-Refractory Germ Cell Tumors
Official Title: A Phase II Study of BMS-247550 In Advanced Germ Cell Tumor Patients - THERAPEUTIC/DIAGNOSTIC PROTOCOL
Study ID: NCT00070096
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic germ cell tumors that are refractory to cisplatin.
Detailed Description: 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.
