Scientists seek tissue samples to unlock HIV-Cancer mysteries
NCT ID NCT05663502
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects blood and tissue samples from 200 adults with HIV and certain cancers (like Kaposi sarcoma, lymphoma, or anal cancer) to help researchers understand how HIV and cancer are connected. Participants donate samples, which are stored for future research. There is no direct treatment or benefit for participants, but the samples may help scientists discover new ways to prevent or treat these cancers.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must be at least 18 years of age * Participant must be HIV- positive and have a diagnosed malignancy. If participants are HIV-negative, they must have a newly diagnosed or recurrent malignancy that has an established scientific connection (e.g., shared etiology) to an AIDS- associated malignancy such as: * classic Kaposi sarcoma * transplant-associated Kaposi sarcoma, * anal cancer, * multicentric Castleman's disease, * Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) -positive lymphoma * plasmablastic lymphoma * Hodgkin's lymphoma. * For participants that are HIV-positive, HIV infection must be documented by means of any one of the following: : * Documentation of HIV diagnosis in the medical record by a licensed health care provider; * Documentation of receipt of antiretroviral therapy (ART) by a licensed health care provider (Documentation may be a record of an ART prescription in the participant's medical record, a written prescription in the name of the participant for ART, or pill bottles for ART with a label showing the participant's name. Receipt of at least two agents is required; each component agent of a multi-class combination ART regimen will be counted toward the 2-agent requirement, excepting receipt of a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) regimen alone \[e.g., Truvada\], which is exclusionary); * HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) detection by a licensed HIV RNA assay demonstrating \> 1000 RNA copies/mL; * Any licensed HIV screening antibody and/or HIV antibody/antigen combination assay confirmed by a second licensed HIV assay such as a HIV Western blot confirmation or HIV rapid multispot antibody differentiation assay. * Participants with HIV infection, regardless of participation in an AMC clinical trial, must have a diagnosis of cancer, cancer or a condition that places them at a higher risk of cancer. * The investigator determines that the participant (or his/her legally authorized representative \[LAR\]) has the ability to provide informed consent and the participant or LAR provides written informed consent.
