Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Sarcoma | Drug: indinavir sulfate Drug: nelfinavir mesylate Drug: paclitaxel Drug: ritonavir Drug: saquinavir mesylate | Phase 2 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Pilot Study to Evaluate the Potential Interactions Between Paclitaxel and Protease Inhibitors in Patients With AIDS-Related Kaposi's Sarcoma |

Further study details as provided by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group:
| Estimated Enrollment: | 33 |
| Study Start Date: | June 1997 |
| Primary Completion Date: | June 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine whether the body distribution and plasma clearance of paclitaxel is affected by protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir mesylate, or nelfinavir mesylate).
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to protease inhibitor treatment (yes vs no), prior paclitaxel (yes vs no), and prior doxorubicin or daunorubicin (yes vs no).
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment continues every 2 weeks for at least 1 course in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who previously received paclitaxel receive no more than 1 course during this study.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 33 patients will be accrued for this study.
