简要总结

RATIONALE: Valproic acid may help stop the growth of Kaposi's sarcoma cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying valproic acid in treating patients with HIV-related Kaposi's sarcoma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of valproic acid in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma.
  • Determine the effects of this drug on human herpes virus 8 (KSHV) gene expression using polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the effects of this drug on HIV, KSHV, and Epstein-Barr virus viral loads in the plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of these patients.
  • Determine clinical response in patients treated with this drug.
