Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Germ cell tumors whatever histology (TGNS or séminoma : TGS ) whose origin is gonadic, extra-gonadic, retro-peritoneal or primitive mediastinal
  • Age \>= 18 years old
  • Histologically confirmed germ cell tumor (TGS) or biomarkers rate allowing to diagnose germ cell tumor without histology (TGNS)
  • Relapse or progression with bad prognosis in 1st treatment line : One of these criteria valid point 4 :
  • progression after incomplete clinical response (Stable disease) to a Cisplatin basis chemotherapy; biomarker progression 4 weeks following the last chemotherapy cycle administration; progression during the first treatment line without obtention of at least stable disease; primitive mediastinal origin in first relapse.
  • TGNS or TGS in relapse after 2 treatment lines
  • Disease progression ( previous points 4 or 5) documented by :
  • tumors biomarkers increase (AFP and/or HCG) if no, a biopsy is needed to confirm presence of tumors active cells
  • ECOG Performance status 0-2
  • Biological Function :
  • Neutrophils \>= 1500/mm3, Platelets \>= 150.000/mm3 ; normal creatinine (or clearance \>= 50 ml/mn) ; SGOT, SGPT \<= 2,5N (or 5N if hepatic metastases), Bilirubin \< 1,5N
  • Cardiac Functions (FEV \>= 50%), Respiratory Functions , neurological Functions compatibles with high dose chemotherapy administration
  • Absence of previous intensification
  • Patient Information and Informed consent signature
  • HIV and B and C hepatitis negative serologies
  • Negative pregnancy test for women with reproductive potential and adequate contraception before study entry
  • Patient affiliated to social security system

Exclusion

  • Patients whose diagnosis of relapse was not confirmed by an anatomopathological examination or by an increase of tumors markers
  • Primitive encephalic germ cell tumors
  • Germ cell tumors in relapse with favorable factors of treatment response to conventional chemotherapy (RC sustainable after Cisplatin): prior cRC or incomplete clinical response but with normalization of markers and testicular origin
  • Growing Teratoma lesions
  • Patients with HIV infection, hepatitis B and C
  • Patients with symptomatic brain metastases despite appropriate corticosteroid treatment
  • Associated pathology may prevent the patient to receive treatment, creatinine clearance ≤ 50 mL / min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault)
  • FEV \<50%
  • History of cancer (except basal cell epithelioma skin cancer) in the 3 years preceding the entry into the trial
  • Patient already included in another clinical trial involving an experimental molecule
  • Pregnant or breast feeding women
  • Persons without liberty or under guardianship,
  • Geographical, social or psychological conditions that do not permit compliance with protocol
