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:
