New drug duo tested for Tough-to-Treat cancer linked to HIV

NCT ID NCT02659930

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing the safety and initial effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs, pomalidomide and liposomal doxorubicin, for people with advanced or hard-to-treat Kaposi sarcoma (KS). The study involves 62 adults with KS, including those with HIV, who receive the drugs in repeating monthly cycles. The main goals are to find the safest dose combination and see if the treatment helps shrink KS lesions.
