MAGESTIC Trial: MiRNA in Detecting Active Germ Cell Tumors in Early Suspected and MetastaTIC Disease Trial

Who can take part

• Primary tumor excised by radical inguinal orchiectomy and pathology consistent with GCT (seminoma or NSGCT)
• Clinical stage of patient is either:; Stage I pure seminoma OR stage I pure seminoma with isolated retroperitoneal relapse or Stage IIA/B pure seminoma; Stage I NSGCT OR stage I NSGCT with isolated retroperitoneal relapse or Stage IIA/B NSGCT
• For subjects with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy: no lymph node >3 cm in greatest dimension with no more than 2 nodes enlarged
• Axial abdominal/pelvic imaging (CT or MRI) and chest imaging (x-ray, CT or MRI) within 3 months of enrollment if stage I patient
• Axial abdominal/pelvic imaging (CT or MRI) and chest imaging (x-ray, CT or MRI) within 8 weeks of enrollment if stage II patient
• miRNA-371 can be drawn and sent for analysis at time of consent
• Enrollment within 1 year after orchiectomy for stage I patients
• Enrollment at any timepoint after orchiectomy for stage II patients
• Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy must be within an RPLND template
• Biopsy of lymph node is not required, though if biopsy of the retroperitoneal node(s) was obtained, pathology must be consistent with GCT
• Serum Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) <50 ng/ml, β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-HCG) 25 mIU/ml within 42 days (6 weeks) of enrollment
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

Who cannot take part

• Patients receiving any other investigational agent (s)
• Second primary malignancy
• 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
