Filter by:This phase I trial studies the best dose and effects of NT-I7 in treating Kaposi sarcoma in patients with or without HIV. NT-I7 works by using a patient's immune system to fight cancer. It is made in a laboratory and is used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. NT-I7 may work better in treating Kaposi sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of different concentration gradients of sirolimus in the treatment of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.
Background: Some people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Their cells have shown to age faster than expected. This puts them at higher risk for a range of age-related diseases about 10 years sooner than people who do not have HIV. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in people with HIV. This means their risk of fractures is increased. People with HIV also have a higher risk for cancers caused by Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) than people who do not have HIV. Much of the data on bone loss related to cancer and cancer treatments has been gathered from people who do not have HIV. Researchers want to learn more about the rate of bone loss in people with HIV/AIDS and KSHV associated cancers. Objective: To learn the factors that are linked to BMD loss in people with HIV and KSHV associated cancers from imaging performed as part of NIH studies. Eligibility: Adults with HIV and Kaposi s sarcoma who got ART and cancer chemotherapy at NIH from 1/1/2005 to 12/1/2020. Design: Participants' records will be chosen from studies that were conducted from 1/1/2005 to 12/1/2020. This study will include participants who had at least 2 CT scans. Some participants may have opted out of the future use of their data. If so, their records will not be used. This study will use data collected at NIH. Data taken from CT scans will be used to measure BMD. Study results may be published. This study will last about 2 years.
This phase II trial studies the effect of pomalidomide in treating patients with Kaposi sarcoma. Pomalidomide is a cancer fighting drug that stops the growth of blood vessels, stimulates the immune system, and may kill cancer cells.
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare guided discontinuation with maintenance treatment of sirolimus in pediatric patients with KHE.
a phase I trial focusing on safety and efficacy of prednison shock plus sirolimus maintenance in treating Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP)
This phase II trial studies how well ixazomib works in treating patients with Kaposi sarcoma. Ixazomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) tumors grow on the skin, lymph nodes, lungs, bone, and gastrointestinal tract. KS often affects people with immune deficiencies, such as among people living with HIV or those with prior history of transplant. Researchers want to see if 2 non-chemotherapy drugs can help people with KS. NHS-IL12 triggers the immune system to fight tumors. M7824 blocks the pathways that cancer cells use to stop the immune system from fighting tumors. Objective: To learn if giving NHS-IL12 alone or with M7824 could help the immune system fight KS tumors. Eligibility: People 18 and older with KS that has been treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy Design: Participants will be screened with some or all of the following: medical history physical exam chest X-ray computed tomography scan blood and urine tests electrocardiogram and echocardiogram skin KS lesion biopsy lung exam gastrointestinal exam All participants will get NHS-IL12 every 4 weeks for up to 96 weeks (or 24cycles). It is injected under the skin. Some participants will also get M7824 every 2 weeks for up to 96 weeks (or 24cycles). It is given through a plastic tube that is put in an arm vein. Participants will complete questionnaires about how KS affects their quality of life. Their KS lesions will be measured and photographed. They will repeat some of the screening tests. They will give saliva samples or additional tissue samples. They will have a lung function test. Their ability to perform their normal activities will be assessed. The treatment duration is up to 96 weeks (or 24cycles) with an option to take NHS-IL12 and/or M7824 until the KS tumors are not responding, or you develop unacceptable side effects. Participants will have follow-up visits 7 and 30 days after treatment ends, then every 3 to 6 months for the next 18 months, then once a year for 3 years.
