A study of Kaposi sarcoma over time
Part of Cancer, Infections clinical trials.
This study follows people with Kaposi sarcoma to learn more about the disease and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better understand and treat KS in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an experimental drug (CYT107) that boosts the immune system to help fight Kaposi sarcoma in people with HIV who have a low CD4 count despite good HIV treatment. It aims to see if the drug can improve KS tumors and quality of life.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
This Phase 1/2 study tests PDS01ADC, a targeted cancer drug, for advanced Kaposi sarcoma (KS). It also studies how well the drug works when added to the immunotherapy M7824, especially if KS has not responded to prior treatments.
This Phase 1/2 study tests the medicine abemaciclib to shrink Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions and control the disease. It includes both people with HIV and people without HIV, and may help when KS has not responded well to prior treatment or when certain KS stages are present.
This trial tests paclitaxel plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (two IV chemotherapy medicines) for HIV-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS). It may help shrink KS lesions and improve quality of life in people with certain stages of KS and enough heart, blood, and liver function to safely receive treatment.
This trial uses advanced imaging to better understand Kaposi sarcoma. If you are starting or already receiving treatment, researchers want to see how imaging can help track your cancer.
