A Phase I/II Study of Intralesional Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor in Patients With AIDS-Related Cutaneous Kaposi's Sarcoma

June 23, 2005 updated by: University of California, San Francisco
To evaluate tolerance, toxicity, and preliminary evidence of antitumor efficacy of intralesionally administered tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for single intralesional injections. In addition, to assess the effects of TNF injections on Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions as measured by P-32 magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
