Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Carboplatin
Treatment: Other - Filgrastim
Treatment: Drugs - Ifosfamide
Other interventions - Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Treatment: Drugs - Paclitaxel

Experimental: Treatment (chemotherapy, biological therapy) - Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Beginning on day 6, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV once daily until blood count returns to normal. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
