Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel, cisplatin, and ifosfamide in treating patients who have ovarian or testicular germ cell tumors that are refractory to platinum-containing chemotherapy.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the toxicity and optimal dose of paclitaxel when combined with cisplatin and ifosfamide in patients with germ cell tumors with favorable prognostic features and resistance to cisplatin.
* Determine the efficacy of this regimen as salvage therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of paclitaxel.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV continuously on day 1 and cisplatin IV over 20 minutes and ifosfamide IV over 30 minutes on days 2-6. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously (SC) on days 7-18 or until blood counts recover. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paclitaxel until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 3 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients receive paclitaxel at the MTD.

After completion of chemotherapy, some patients may undergo resection of residual masses.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-43 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
