Abstract
TPS653 Background: Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) given 3-weekly x 4 is standard first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor-risk metastatic GCT. Acceleration of standard chemotherapy regimens by shortening the cycle length to 2-weekly improved cure rates in other cancers. P3BEP is the first international, randomized trial of chemotherapy for intermediate and poor-risk metastatic GCT to include adults and children of both sexes. It aims to determine the superiority of accelerated BEP versus standard BEP in this setting. Methods: This open label, randomized, phase 3 trial is conducted seamlessly in 2 stages..
