111 trial
A single group trial evaluating one cycle of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy in high risk, stage 1 non seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testis.
Disease site: Testicular cancer, urological cancers
Treatment modality: Systemic therapy
Status: In follow up
Trial details
The 111 trial is a phase III, single group, multicentre study to evaluate whether one cycle of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy results in a 2 year recurrence rate of less than 5% in patients with high risk, stage 1 non seminomatous germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT).
246 patients with histologically proven NSGCTT or mixed germ cell tumours with vascular invasion and stage 1 disease within 6 weeks of having orchidectomy were recruited from 33 UK sites over 4.5 years. Patients received a single cycle of adjuvant BEP chemotherapy and are being followed up annually following completion of treatment.
