This is a study for patients with advanced testicular cancer. This research study involves treatment with oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine, which is an investigational chemotherapy combination. This study is for patients who have not responded to standard cisplatin-containing chemotherapy or the cancer has returned after such treatment. This research is being done to assess the effectiveness of the proposed combination of medications for this type of cancer.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence, evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions compared to the baseline; Stable Disease = Neither enough shrinkage for PR nor enough growth for PD; Progressive Disease = at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions from the smallest measurement recorded, with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
