NCT ID NCT06375122
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study follows 150 adults with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) for up to 10 years to learn how the disease behaves, why it comes back, and how it affects the immune system and organs. Participants will have regular check-ups, scans, and biopsies, but no new treatments are being tested. The goal is to gather information that could help improve future care for people with KS.
