Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection in Treating Patients With Testicular Seminoma

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT02537548

Status

RECRUITING

Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) works in treating patients with stage I-IIa testicular seminoma. The retroperitoneum is the space in the body behind the intestines that is typically the first place that seminoma spreads. RPLND is a surgery that removes lymph nodes in this area to treat testicular seminoma and may experience fewer long-term toxicities, such as a second cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes), or lung disease.

Official Title

Surgery in Early Metastatic Seminoma (SEMS): Phase II Trial of Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection as First-Line Treatment for Testicular Seminoma With Isolated Retroperitoneal Disease (1-3cm)

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study: Older than 16 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study: Male

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Inclusion Criteria:

- Pure seminoma after orchiectomy presenting with isolated retropreritoneal lymphadenopathy OR stage I pure seminoma with isolated retroperitoneal relapse. Relapse should be within 3 years
- Lymphadenopathy in the retroperitoneum: at least one lymph node 1-3 cm in greatest dimension, no lymph node > 3 cm in greatest dimension, no more than 2 lymph nodes 1-3 cm in greatest dimension
- Axial imaging of lymphadenopathy within 6 weeks of the date of RPLND
- Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy must be within the RPLND template
- If there is borderline lymphadenopathy, defined as the largest retroperitoneal lymph node measuring 0.90 - 0.99 cm in the greatest dimension, an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan should be repeated (recommend interval of 6 - 8 weeks); the same lymph node must demonstrate growth to >= 1.0 cm in the greatest dimension
- Biopsy is not required, though if biopsy of the retroperitoneal node(s) was obtained, pathology must be consistent with pure seminoma
- Chest imaging (x-ray, CT or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) negative for metastasis no more than 6 weeks prior to the date of RPLND
- Primary tumor excised by radical inguinal orchiectomy and pathology consistent with pure seminoma
- Serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) not more than 1.5 times upper limit of normal, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (per the local laboratory assay) within 14 days of RPLND
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
- Serum coagulation studies (INR/PTT) and platelet counts suitable for surgery per surgeon discretion.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Second primary malignancy
- History of receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Patients receiving any other investigational agent (s)
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
