Brief Summary: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel with that of doxorubicin in treating patients who have advanced AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than doxorubicin in treating patients with advanced AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

I To compare the effect of therapy with paclitaxel to therapy with liposomal doxorubicin on progression-free survival and on global assessment of quality of life of subjects with advanced AIDS-related KS

II To compare the toxicity profile of intravenous paclitaxel with liposomal doxorubicin in patients with advanced AIDS-related KS

III To compare the overall and complete response rate of intravenous paclitaxel with liposomal doxorubicin in patients with advanced AIDS-related KS

IV To evaluate the effect of intravenous paclitaxel as compared with therapy with liposomal doxorubicin on the clinical course of HIV infection in patients with advanced AIDS-related KS by monitoring CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte subsets HIV viral load and the incidence and type of opportunistic infections

V To explore the relationship between viral load and response to the therapy for patients with AIDS-related KS

VI To describe the relationship between technical response as measured by the current KS response criteria and the clinical benefit of therapy as measured by the revised KS clinical benefit criteria

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are randomized to receive either paclitaxel arm I or doxorubicin HCL liposomearm II

Arm I Patients receive paclitaxel over 3 hours by intravenous infusion Treatment course repeats every 2 weeks Patients are evaluated every third course

Arm II Patients receive doxorubicin HCL liposome over 30-60 minutes by intravenous infusion Treatment course is repeated every 3 weeks Patients are evaluated before every odd course

Patients in both arms continue treatment if there is no disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with complete response continue on study treatment for 2 courses beyond documented complete response

Quality of life is assessed before during and after treatment

Patients are followed every 3 months for the first 2 years then every 6 months for years 2-5 and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL There will be 240 patients 120 patients in each arm accrued into this study over 24 months
