Kaposi's Sarcoma clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer that develops from the cells that line blood vessels. UCSF is collecting samples of blood and tissue to study cancers linked to HIV/AIDS. UCSF is also researching the effectiveness of a drug called ixazomib in treating Kaposi's sarcoma tumors.
Ixazomib for Kaposi Sarcoma
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
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.
