7. Clinically evident congestive heart failure (CHF) > class II of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) guidelines.

8. Current, serious, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, defined as the existence of an absolute arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmias classified as Lown III, IV or V.

9. History or signs of active coronary artery disease with or without angina pectoris.

10. Serious myocardial dysfunction defined as ultrasound-determined absolute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45% of predicted institutional normal value.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective Response Rate	To evaluate the uptake of aldoxorubicin into the tumor and the objective response rate (complete and partial response) using RECIST 1.1 criteria in subjects with HIV-infected with Kaposi's sarcoma	up to 6 months
Primary	Safety	To evaluate the safety of ALDOXORUBICIN in this population, assessed by the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs), abnormal findings on physical examination, laboratory tests, vital signs, echocardiogram (ECHO) evaluations, electrocardiogram (ECG) results, and weight.	up to 6 months
Secondary	Kinetics	To evaluate the intratumoral kinetics of ALDOXORUBICIN and related biomarker expression through sequential biopsies of KS skin lesions.	up to 6 months
Secondary	Performance Status	To determine the change in performance status (PS) as measured by the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS).	up to 6 months
Secondary	Quality of Life	To determine the change in quality of life as measured by the KS Functional Assessment of HIV (FAHI) Quality of Life instrument (QoLI)	6 months
