Summary

This study tests whether two different chemotherapy drugs, paclitaxel and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, work equally well for treating Kaposi sarcoma in people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. About 130 participants will receive one of the drugs every three weeks for six cycles. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control and to compare side effects.
