Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Treatment consists in an induction phase where daily Indinavir (800 mg x 2/die, orally) will be combined together with systemic Vinblastine (10 mg intravenously) +/- Bleomycin (15 mg intramuscularly) in cycles administered every 3 weeks. As maximal response will occur, patients will undergo 2 additional Vinblastine +/- Bleomycin (consolidation) cycles upon continuous treatment with Indinavir. This will be followed by a maintenance phase with Indinavir alone (800 mg x 3/die, orally) in responder patients.
