Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of different concentration gradients of sirolimus in the treatment of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare guided discontinuation with maintenance treatment of sirolimus in pediatric patients with KHE.
to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Low-dose sirolimus in Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma in Chinese children by a prospective, randomized open trial.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well treatment with vincristine and bleomycin affect quality of life in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated Kaposi sarcoma.
The efficacy of locally sourced compression therapy in the management of chronic leg ulcers and Kaposi Sarcoma in western Kenya will be studied in a rural setting
There is no clear treatment for patients with limited cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS). Radiation and injection of vinblastine both have side effects that may not be acceptable. Nivolumab has been used to treat more extensive KS when given intravenously. This is, to the investigators' knowledge, the first trial to see if nivolumab can be used as treatment in the form of an injection into KS lesion.
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has an unpredictable course, patients with disseminated KS starting combined Antiretroviral Therapy can develop Immune Reconstitution Syndrome (IRIS), with a severe clinical presentation and high mortality (severe-IRIS-KS). The objective of this study is to evaluate the presence of Severe IRIS-KS and it´s attributable mortality in patients with AIDS and disseminated KS with the use of valganciclovir prior to the initiation of cART compared with the standard management of immediate cART initiation.
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm that occurs predominantly in infancy or early childhood. KHE has a nearly equal sex ratio. The annual incidence of KHE has been estimated at 0.071 per 100,000 children. KHE presents with intermediate-malignant and locally aggressive characteristics but without distant metastases. This pilot trial studies sirolimus versus sirolimus plus pednisolone in treating patients diagnosed with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and Kasabach-Merritt phenomemon (KMP) that cannot be removed by surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of orally administered sirolimus versus sirolimus plus pednisolone in the treatment of KHE associated with KMP.
The purpose of this study is to identify important associations between complete and comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and genomic data derived from patients and tumor specimens, with prospectively recorded clinical outcomes. The investigators also hope to move beyond simple risk factor associations as previously described, to develop a composite score specifically for KS recurrence or progression, analogous to widely used risk scores that are used to direct up-front treatment of other cancers. In so doing, the investigators will draw on extremely granular data to prospectively identify patients who are most likely to benefit from new treatments.
To determine the safety of escalating IV doses of Tc 99m tilmanocept in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) subjects with confirmed KS and to compare results obtained from subcutaneous and IV administrations of Tc 99m tilmanocept in the same subjects.
