Official Title: A Phase 1 Trial of Pomalidomide in Combination With Liposomal Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced or Refractory Kaposi Sarcoma

Brief Summary:

Background:

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cancer most often seen in people with HIV. It causes lesions. These are usually on the skin but sometimes in the lymph nodes, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Researchers think a combination of drugs may help treat KS.

Objective:

To test a combination of the anti-cancer drugs pomalidomide (CC-4047) and liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) in people with KS.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and over with KS

Design:

Participants will be screened with:

Medical history

Questionnaires

Physical exam

Blood, urine, and heart tests

Chest X-ray

Biopsy: A small sample of tissue is taken from a KS lesion.

Possible CT scan

Possible exam of lungs or gastrointestinal tract with an endoscope: A flexible instrument examines

inside the organ.

Participants will take the drugs in 4-week cycles. They will take Doxil through an IV on Day 1 of each cycle. They will take CC-4047 tablets by mouth each day for the first 3 weeks of each cycle.

Participants will have many visits:
