Phase II Study of Weekly Doxorubicin Treatment of AIDS Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma
Doxorubicin is one of the most active of all antitumor agents but at currently used doses
toxicity is common. When small doses are administered on a weekly schedule, the toxicity of
the drug appears to be reduced.
Patients are stratified for non-therapy purposes into 2 groups; doxorubicin is given
intravenously (IV) every week on an outpatient basis. Patients are monitored carefully, and
weekly blood samples are taken to determine the effectiveness and safety of treatment.
Patients are evaluated for toxicity after one dose of the drug and weekly thereafter.
Patients are evaluated for response to the drug after 4 weeks and monthly thereafter.
