Testicular Germ Cell TumorNCT00003420
CT Scans in Treating Patients With Stage I Testicular Cancer After Undergoing Orchiectomy
A study testing computed tomography in people with Testicular Germ Cell Tumor, run by Medical Research Council at 1 site in United Kingdom.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as CT scans help the doctor in detecting cancer or the recurrence of cancer. Increasing the number of times a CT scan is given may improve the ability to detect stage I testicular cancer. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Study of CT Scan Frequency in Patients With Stage I Testicular Teratoma
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as CT scans help the doctor in detecting cancer or the recurrence of cancer. Increasing the number of times a CT scan is given may improve the ability to detect stage I testicular cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to determine if there is a different result from two different schedules of CT scans in treating patients with stage I testicular cancer after undergoing orchiectomy.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine whether there is a difference between two schedules of CT scan surveillance in respect to stage of disease at relapse, survival, the investigation determining relapse, and incidence of second malignancies in patients with stage I testicular teratoma after orchidectomy.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified by center and presence of vascular invasion.
After orchidectomy, patients are randomized into two schedules (arms I and II) of CT scan follow up.
- Arm I: Patients repeat chest and abdominal CT scans no later than 3 months after orchidectomy and again at 12 months to confirm that the patient is clear of disease.
- Arm II: Patients repeat chest and abdominal CT scans at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months after orchidectomy.
Patients are followed monthly for the first year after orchidectomy, then every 2 months for the second year, then every 3 months for the third year, and then every 4-6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: There will be 400-900 patients accrued into this study over 3-6 years.

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003420, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Dec 2013.
