6 Methods Pretreatment evaluation The pretreatment evaluation included a complete history and physical examination, CBC, electrolytes, renal and liver function, hcg, AFP, LDH, pulmonary function test including diffusion of CO (DLCO/VA), CT scan of the pelvis, the abdomen, the thorax, and the brain. A brain MRI could replace the CT scan. Imaging could be delayed by a week following the initiation of treatment if it was started in an emergency. Patients also had to have adequate renal function (creatinine clearance> 60 ml/min), absolute granulocyte count 1,500/mm 3, platelets 100,000 mm 3, and bilirubin 1.5x the upper limit of normal value. A known infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus was an exclusion criterion. Methodology for tumour marker decline calculation (Fizazi K, et al. J Clin Oncol 2004; 22: ) A software to help calculate tumour marker decline can be downloaded for free at Definition of favourable and unfavourable pattern of decrease in the serum tumour markers: Decline rates are calculated and expressed as a theoretical time to normalization, using a logarithmic formula: We define M 0 the initial marker value and M 1 the marker value at the first evaluation (at 3 weeks). Then the Time to Normalization (TN M ) for marker M can be obtained according to the following formula TN M = 3 A / B Where A is the difference between M 0 and the normal value M N on the logarithm scale (A = log(m 0 )- log(m N )) and B is the difference between M 0 and the value M 1 at the start of cycle 2 (3 weeks after) on the logarithm scale (B = log(m 0 )-log(m 1 )). In the case where the time between marker values is different from 3 weeks, the formula needs to be modified by replacing the number 3 with the number of weeks separating the two measurements. Patients can then be classified into 4 categories as follows: A M Normal at cycle 1 and at cycle 2 B M Abnormal at cycle 1 and Normalization at cycle 2 C M Abnormal cycle 1 and TN M < T M D M Abnormal cycle 1 and TN M T M or abnormal and increasing marker at cycle 2 Time to Normalization cut-off points (T M ) vary for each marker: T AFP = 9, T HCG = 6 and T LDH = 4 weeks for AFP, b-hcg and LDH respectively. A favourable pattern of decrease is defined as HCG and AFP being both A, B, or C. Particular medical settings requiring specific management Patients with major lung involvement by cancer (like those with the choriocarcinoma syndrome ) were not to receive frontline bleomycin in order to avoid acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It was recommended that these patients be managed using only cisplatin and etoposide for 3 days at the first cycle (with the last 2 days of cisplatin-etoposide and bleomycin being introduced around day 10, when doable), followed by full-dose chemotherapy in the second cycle if lung function allows such treatment. Also, these patients could receive cycle 2 beginning day 18. 5

7 Patients with ureteral compression could be managed either by primary ureteral derivation, uretero-bladder catheter, or front-line chemotherapy according to the presentation and creatinine clearance. Dose modification of chemotherapy was not recommended. Patients with brain metastases were to be treated with steroids and primary chemotherapy. However, if symptoms did not improve, a cycle could be delayed to allow radiotherapy or surgery to be performed, if this was medically necessary according to the investigator s opinion. Patients with a poor performance status (PS 3-4) could be included in the trial and treated in the standard manner. However, the investigator could consider modifying the doses of the first cycle of chemotherapy, if medically justified. Additional detailed results Eight patients were not evaluable for tumour marker decline assessment: 6 early deaths during the first three weeks, 1 consent withdrawal, and 1 screen failure. An additional patient (with a favourable tumour marker decline) was included by mistake by a centre that was no longer covered by IRB approval. This patient was not treated according to the protocol and he was excluded from all analyses. Twelve patients did not receive the last cycle of dose-dense chemotherapy due to toxicity (n=6), cancer progression (n=3), or patient/investigator decision (n=3). 6
