NCT ID NCT04804007

First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily oral chemotherapy drug (etoposide) after high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant can help prevent germ cell tumors from coming back. About 64 adults with relapsed germ cell tumors will be randomly assigned to receive either maintenance etoposide or observation. The main goal is to see if the drug improves progression-free survival at 12 months.
