Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine clinical response in patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma treated with imatinib mesylate.

Secondary

* Determine the inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor receptors, as determined by immunohistochemistry, in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine cytokine profiles before and after treatment with this drug in these patients.
* Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of this drug and antiretrovirals in these patients.
* Determine mechanisms of primary and secondary resistance to this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily. Treatment continues for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
