Trial Information

Randomized, Comparative Trial of DOX-SL (Stealth Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride) Versus Adriamycin, Bleomycin, and Vincristine (ABV) in the Treatment of Severe AIDS-Related Kaposi's Sarcoma


Patients are randomized to receive either DOX-SL or the ABV combination. Infusions are given
on day 1 and every 2 weeks for a total of six cycles. Kaposi's sarcoma lesions are evaluated
prior to every cycle, at the end of the last treatment cycle, and 4 weeks following the end
of the last treatment. Patients must agree to have one or more representative KS lesions
biopsied.

Inclusion Criteria

myelotoxic chemotherapy.

- Foscarnet for new episodes of cytomegalovirus infection.
