Brief Summary:
This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with recurrent or resistant malignant germ cell tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the response rate in pediatric patients with recurrent or resistant malignant germ cell tumors (GCT) treated with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and carboplatin.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. II. To Collect tissue for the tumor bank that will aid in the identification of the biological characteristics of recurrent GCT.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
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.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Response Rate as Measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria [ Time Frame: At baseline (day 1) and after completion of protocol therapy (2 cycles or 42 days) ]Patients who demonstrate a PR or CR, as defined below, will be considered as responders. RECIST criteria: CR (complete response) = disappearance of all target lesions, PR (partial response) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, PD (progressive disease) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet above criteria.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- The Number of Patients Who Experience at Least One Grade 3 or Higher CTC Version 4 Toxicity. [ Time Frame: Two cycles of chemotherapy; expected to be 42 days of treatment. ]
