We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma Clinical research trials and A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma healthcare trials happen in hundreds of localities throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the potency of new drugs. The propose of the studies / projects is to answer particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect cures for all sorts of conditions, such as A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma. A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to acquire healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma clinical trial. Subjects frequently obtain the most expert healthcare possible for their A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and can include more or frequent doctor trips, medical risks (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma



A Phase I Study of TNP-470 in the Treatment of AIDS-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma

For Condition: Sarcoma, Kaposi,HIV Infections
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) ,
Synopsis: To assess toxicity and determine the MTD of intravenous TNP-470 administered weekly in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. To assess pharmacokinetics and tumor response of the drug. Since evidence shows that neovascularization is important in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, drugs that inhibit angiogenesis, such as TNP-470, may be of benefit in patients with the disease.
Details: Since evidence shows that neovascularization is important in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, drugs that inhibit angiogenesis, such as TNP-470, may be of benefit in patients with the disease. Patients are entered at 7 escalating dose levels of TNP-470. (PER AMENDMENT 9/3/96: dose maximum level changed.) Four patients treated at a given dose level must receive at least 4 weeks of therapy before escalation in subsequent cohorts proceeds. If 50 percent of patients at a given dose level experience dose-limiting toxicity, the previous dose is defined as the MTD and an additional two patients are treated at the MTD. Patients receive treatment for 12 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of rest, followed by an additional 12 weeks of treatment. Patients are followed for 12 weeks post-treatment.
