- Patients receiving antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection are eligible provided they have been on a stable regimen for ≥ 12 weeks prior to study entry AND there is no evidence of improvement in KS during those 12 weeks or there is evidence of progression of KS within the immediate 4 weeks prior to study entry

- Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
- Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
- Total bilirubin normal (grade 0)
- No specific limit of total serum bilirubin for patient receiveing indinavir or atazanavir therapy AND direct serum bilirubin ≤ 30% of total bilirubin
- AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal (grade 1)
- INR and aPTT normal
- Proteinuria \< 2+
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective barrier contraception during and for up to 3 months after completion of study treatment

- No history of any of the following:
- Myocardial infarction
- Severe/unstable angina
- Coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Cerebrovascular accident
- Transient ischemic attack
- Pulmonary embolism
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Other significant thromboembolic event
- No known coagulopathy or bleeding diathesis
- No history of CNS, pulmonary, GI, or urinary bleeding
- No known history of drug-induced liver injury
- Resting systolic blood pressure ≤ 160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mm Hg
- No history of or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical condition, surgical history, physical finding, ECG finding, or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, could affect the safety of the patient, alter the absorption of the study drug, or impair the assessment of study results
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- More than 4 weeks since prior and no other concurrent anti-neoplastic therapy for KS, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, local therapy, or biological therapy
- More than 60 days since prior local therapy for any KS-indicator lesion unless the lesion has clearly progressed since treatment
- Any prior local therapy for indicator lesions (regardless of the elapsed time) should not be allowed unless there is evidence of clear-cut progression of that lesion
- More than 28 days since prior and no other concurrent investigational drugs or therapy (other than antiretroviral therapy or agents available on a treatment IND)
- More than 30 days since prior major surgery and recovered
- More than 14 days since prior treatment for an acute infection (other than oral thrush or genital herpes) or other serious medical illness
- No concurrent surgical procedures
- No concurrent systemic corticosteroid therapy, other than replacement doses
- No concurrent anticoagulant therapy, including warfarin, heparin (including low molecular weight heparin), or antiplatelet drugs (e.g., clopidogrel bisulfate)
