A Study of Ro 24-7429 in Patients With HIV-Related Kaposi's Sarcoma

June 23, 2005 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Phase II Study of Oral Ro 24-7429 (Tat Antagonist) in Patients With HIV-Related Kaposi's Sarcoma

To study the effects of Ro 24-7429 on tumor growth in patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma. To study the safety and tolerance, effects on HIV replication, and immunologic effects of Ro 24-7429 in this patient population. To explore relationships between exposure to Ro 24-7429 and its metabolites with its antitumor and antiviral activities and drug toxicity.
