Summary
Brief summary
iTestis is a detailed database that will allow the collection of high quality clinical data in patients with Germ Cell Tumour.
Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you have confirmed germ-cell tumor arising primarily in the testes, retro-peritoneum or mediastinum.
Study details
All enrolled patients will contribute data to the development of the web database. Data captured will include presentation and disease characteristics, patient characteristics, local and systemic therapies, surveillance methods, recurrence data and treatment outcomes. Data will be collected for up to 4 years and will be updated regularly by study personnel throughout the patient’s treatment and follow-up from their medical record.
It is hoped this study will will help to describe the current care and treatment patterns for GCT patients and identify any deficiencies or abnormalities to ensure that Australian GCT patients receive the best care possible.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
No
No/undecided IPD sharing reason/comment
IPD may be collected at a site level. However, IPD will not be made available to the Sponsor. The data that is collected by the Sponsor will not be re-identifiable at the Sponsor level. There are safeguards in place to minimise the risk of a privacy breach. They include analysing the data on an aggregated level and access to the data in a controlled environment with only authorised study personnel. Finally, enabling the availability of IPDs will not help meet the primary and secondary objectives of the study which are dependent on the results from the study population rather than on an individual basis.
