Brief Summary

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

Kaposi sarcoma remains the most common malignancy among persons with HIV.

Lesions localized to the airway may cause bleeding, pain and dyspnea.

New therapeutic approaches for local disease are needed.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intralesional bevacizumab + HAART vs HAART alone in treating localized Kaposi´s sarcoma of the airway in patients with AIDS.

Detailed Description

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

Once disseminated disease is excluded, histologically confirmed HIV-positive patients with localized Kaposi's sarcoma of the airway will be randomized to receive HAART only or HAART + intralesional bevacizumab.

The primary outcome will be the size of lesions according to RECIST criteria. Patients in the HAART + bevacizumab arm will undergo series of 3 bevacizumab injections of 5 mg/cm3. Follow-up will be carried out through scheduled meetings for office setting examination every week for the first 8 weeks, then every 15 days for two months and finally every month for eight months.

Size of the lesions will be assessed by an independent observer and adverse events will be recorded.

HAART

Patients received antiretroviral treatment according to the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

HAART+ Bevacizumab injection

Patients received antiretroviral treatment according to the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents. Patients received 3 intralesional injections of bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech, San Francisco, California) in the target lesion every 2 weeks. Bevacizumab was injected using an insulin syringe in a submucosal plane. The volume injected was based on the size of the target lesion; the dose was 0.2 mL (5 mg) per cm2.
