NCT ID: NCT06052618 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for KSHV Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome (KICS)

Phase II Study of Pacritinib in Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV)-Associated Multicentric Castleman Disease and KSHV-Associated Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome (KICS)

Start date: March 31, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Background: Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) and KSHV-multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) occur in people living with HIV. These diseases cause severe inflammation that can be fatal if not treated. Objective: To test a drug (pacritinib) in people with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. They must have at least one symptom. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. Their ability to perform everyday tasks will be reviewed. In some participants who have Kaposi sarcoma (KS) with KICS or MCD, these individuals may need a bronchoscopy and/or endoscopy of the upper or lower intestine: A flexible tube with a camera and a light source will be inserted through the mouth or anus to see these structures and assess any KS. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day, every day, for up to 24 weeks. They will write down each dose in a diary. Participants will visit the clinic 3 times in the first 4 weeks. Their visits will taper to once every 4 weeks. Imaging scans, blood tests, and other tests will be repeated during these visits. Participants will give samples of saliva. They may opt to allow tissues samples to be taken from their skin and lymph nodes. Participants will have follow-up visits 7 days and 30 days after their last dose of pacritinib. After that, they will visit the clinic every 3 months for up to 1 year. The physical exam and blood, heart, and imaging tests will be repeated at these visits.

AYAHIV Role-based Responsibilities for Oncology-focused Workforce (ARROW)

Start date: July 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adolescents and young adults living with HIV experience higher premature mortality from cancer than their uninfected peers. In Zambia, because of multilevel barriers, interventions for early diagnosis and optimized treatment to reduce this cancer mortality are underutilized for this disproportionally impacted cohort. In this study, the investigators will test peer-to-peer education and support strategies to increase use of early diagnosis services in HIV treatment facilities and improve compliance with cancer treatment in the cancer center.

Participants of this study will have a diagnosis of a solid tumor cancer that has come back to its original location or spread beyond its original location (advanced), came back (relapsed) or worsened (refractory) after standard treatments, or no standard treatments are available for the participants' cancer. The purpose of this study if to find the highest dose of MQ710 that causes few or mild side effects in participants with a solid tumor cancer diagnosis.

NCT ID: NCT05846724 Not yet recruiting - Kaposi Sarcoma Clinical Trials

Pembrolizumab Plus Lenvatinib in Previously Treated Classic Kaposi Sarcoma

PULSAR
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Phase II study of Pembrolizumab plus Lenvatinib in relapsed/refractory Classic Kaposi Sarcoma (CKS). After a screening phase of up to 28 days, each participant will receive study intervention of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib until reaching a discontinuation criterion: disease progression; unacceptable adverse event(s) (AEs); intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment; participant withdraws consent; pregnancy of participant; non-compliance with study intervention or procedure requirements; or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment. After the end of treatment, each participant will be followed for the occurrence of AEs and spontaneously reported pregnancy. Participants who discontinue for reasons other than PD will have post-treatment follow-up for disease status until PD is documented clinically by a team of committed dermatologists, and/or radiographically per RECIST 1.1, a non-study anticancer treatment is initiated, consent is withdrawn, or the participant becomes lost to follow-up. All participants will be followed for overall survival (OS) until death, withdrawal of consent,lost to follow-up, or the end of the study. The end of the study will be when the last participant completes the last study-related telephone call or visit,withdraws from the study, or is lost to follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT05646082 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Refractory HIV Associated Kaposi Sarcoma

Preliminary Assessment of Safety and Tolerability of Dostarlimab in Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) Refractory HIV Associated Kaposi Sarcoma

STARKAP
Start date: May 26, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This is a phase 1b, open label, single arm study evaluating the safety and tolerability of the drug dostarlimab in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) refractory HIV-associated Kaposi Sarcoma (KS), a rare type of cancer usually seen in people with the HIV infection. Dostarlimab is a type of immunotherapy, and is a monoclonal antibody that has been designed to inhibit the receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1). One of the two ligands for PD-1 has been shown to be upregulated in KS patients, the PDL-1 ligand. By preventing PDL-1 form binding to PD-1, dostarlimab increases the body's immune response to attack more cancer cells. The safety profile of dostarlimab in this specific cancer has not been explored. The primary aim of this study is therefore to provide confirmatory evidence of safety of dostarlimab in KS patients and to preliminary evaluate its effects on HIV reservoirs and assess how it causes its anti-cancer effects through studying tumour tissue before and after treatment. This study will be conducted in two parts and will recruit a total of up to 20 patients. Upon completion of screening investigations inclusive of a fresh tumour biopsy within a 28-days window, patients will receive dostarlimab at the fixed dose of 500 mg dose every 3 weeks for the first 4 doses followed by a fixed 1000 mg dose every 6 weeks. Treatment will be continued until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, patients' withdrawal or completion of a total of 48 weeks of treatment. Part 1 will consist of 6 patients being dosed and observed for toxicity for 21 days following first dose. A trial steering committee will evaluate any treatment related adverse events (AEs) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) reported before deciding on whether to continue onto part 2, where a further 14 patients may be enrolled.
