Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation Plus Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Malignant Solid Tumors

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Childhood Germ Cell Tumor, Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor, Liver Cancer, Neuroblastoma, Ovarian Cancer, Sarcoma, Testicular Germ Cell Tumor

In brief

RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy used to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cyclophosphamide when given together with combination chemotherapy and a peripheral stem cell transplant in treating patients with malignant solid tumors.
