Interventions

• Bleomycin (active name: Bleomycin Sulfate) — DRUG
  Standard Arm: Bleomycin 30,000 international units IV weekly for 3 doses (eg. days 1, 8 and 15 or days 2, 9 and 16 of a 21-day cycle) for 4 cycles. Accelerated Arm: Bleomycin 30,000 international units IV weekly for 2 doses (eg. days 1 and 8 or days 2 and 9 of a 14-day cycle) for 4 cycles. Followed by Bleomycin 30,000 international units IV weekly for 4 doses.
• Etoposide — DRUG
  Standard Arm: Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of a 21-day cycle for 4 cycles. Accelerated Arm: 100 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of a 14-day cycle for 4 cycles.
• Cisplatin — DRUG
  Standard Arm: Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of a 21-day cycle for 4 cycles. Accelerated Arm: Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of a 14-day cycle for 4 cycles.
• Pegylated G-CSF (Pegfilgrastim) — DRUG
  Standard Arm: 6 mg SCI on day 6 of a 21-day cycle for 4 cycles. Accelerated Arm: 6 mg SCI on day 6 of a 14-day cycle for 4 cycles.
• Filgrastim — DRUG
  Standard Arm: 10 mcg/kg/day on day6, until post-nadir absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L, of a 21-day cycle for 4 cycles. Accelerated Arm: 10 mcg/kg/day on day 6, until post-nadir absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L, of a 14-day cycle for 4 cycles.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to determine whether accelerated BEP chemotherapy is more effective than standard BEP chemotherapy in males with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours.

Arms

• Active Comparator: Standard Arm - Standard BEP
  Participants 16 years or older will receive 4 cycles of Standard BEP as follows: * Bleomycin 30,000 IU IV weekly for 3 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Pegylated G-CSF 6 mg SCI on day 6 Patients \< 16 years old and weighs ≥ 45 kg will receive: * Bleomycin \*15,000 - 30,000 IU IV weekly for 3 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Pegylated G-CSF 6 mg SCI on day 6 Patients \<16 years old and weighs \< 45 kg will receive: * Bleomycin \*15,000 - 30,000 IU IV weekly for 3 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Filgrastim 10mcg/kg/day on day 6, until post-nadir Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥1 x10\^9/ L * The dose of bleomycin is decided by the treating physician and based on the patient's Body Surface Area. Each cycle is 3 weeks (21 days). The planned total duration of treatment is 12 weeks.
• Experimental: Experimental Arm - Accelerated BEP
  Participants 16years or older will receive 4 cycles of Accelerated BEP as follows: * Bleomycin 30,000 IU IV wkly for 2 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1- 5 * Pegylated G-CSF 6 mg SCI on day 6 Patients \<16years and weighs ≥45 kg will receive: * Bleomycin \*15,000 - 30,000 IU IV wkly for 2 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Pegylated G-CSF 6 mg SCI on day 6 Patients \<16years and weighs \<45 kg will receive: * Bleomycin \*15,000 - 30,000 IU IV wkly for 2 doses * Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV on day 1 - 5 * Filgrastim 10mcg/kg/day on day 6, until ANC ≥1 x10\^9/ L Each cycle is 2 weeks (14days) Following 4xBEP cycles, patients will receive additional bleomycin as follows: \- Bleomycin \*15,000 - 30,000 IU IV wkly for 4 doses \* The dose of bleomycin is decided by the treating physician and based on the patient's BSA. The planned total duration is 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measure
