Brief summary
This is a pilot study to determine the efficacy, kinetics and safety of aldoxorubicin in HIV positive subjects with Kaposi's sarcoma.
Detailed description
This is an open-label pilot phase 2 study to investigate efficacy, safety, and intratumoral kinetics of aldoxorubicin in HIV-Infected patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.

History of other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless documented free of cancer for ≥3 years. 5. Laboratory values: Screening serum creatinine \>1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 2.5 × ULN, total bilirubin \>1.5 × ULN, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<1,500/mm3, platelet concentration \<75,000/mm3, absolute lymphocyte count \<1000/mm3, hematocrit level \<25% for females or \<27% for males, serum albumin ≤2.5 g/dL. 6.

Clinically evident congestive heart failure (CHF) \> class II of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) guidelines. 8. Current, serious, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, defined as the existence of an absolute arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmias classified as Lown III, IV or V. 9. History or signs of active coronary artery disease with or without angina pectoris. 10. Serious myocardial dysfunction defined as ultrasound-determined absolute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<45% of predicted institutional normal value. 11. Active, clinically significant serious infection requiring treatment with antibacterial, antiviral (other than antiretroviral therapy), or antifungal therapy. 12. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to Randomization. 13. Any condition that might interfere with the subject's participation in the study or in the evaluation of the study results. 14. Any condition that is unstable and could jeopardize the subject's participation in the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Objective Response Rate | up to 6 months | To evaluate the uptake of aldoxorubicin into the tumor and the objective response rate (complete and partial response) using RECIST 1.1 criteria in subjects with HIV-infected with Kaposi's sarcoma. Objective responses will be evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Changes (i.e. improvements) in tumor measurements from baseline values will be assigned a status of CR or PR or SD. Objective response measurements will comprise the sum of CR plus PR. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm). Partial Response (PR): 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, from the baseline sum longest diameter. |
| Number of Participants With Treatment-related Toxicities (Adverse Events) in This Subject Population | 30 days from last dose, up to 199 days | All subjects who receive any amount of ALDOXORUBICIN will be included in the safety analyses, which will include the following: The incidence, severity, duration, causality, seriousness, and type of AEs and changes in the subject's physical examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratory results. * vitals signs (systolic/diastolic blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature, weight, and body surface area) * physical examination * laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, anion gap) |
