Brief Summary: To assess the efficacy safety and tolerability of recombinant human nerve growth factor rhNGF in the treatment of HIV-associated sensory neuropathy AS PER AMENDMENT 5697 To compare the change in viral load between the double-blind phase baseline and week 4 in placebo and active rhNGF recipients To ensure that rhNGF does not induce an increase in viral load compared with viral load changes seen with placebo

Up to now treatments for HIV-associated sensory neuropathy have been symptomatic relying on pain-modifying agents or membrane-stabilizing drugs Because nerve growth factor is important in the development and maintenance of sympathetic and sensory neurons and their outgrowths it is proposed that recombinant human nerve growth factor may provide a specific restorative treatment for HIV-associated painful sensory neuropathy

Patients are randomized to receive either rhNGF at one of two doses or placebo administered subcutaneously twice weekly for 18 weeks Patients are stratified into three groups within their regimens by use of didanosine zalcitabine or stavudine as follows current use vs discontinued between 8 and 26 weeks before randomization vs never used or discontinued use at least 26 weeks before randomization Patients will assess their pain daily using the Gracely Pain Scale AS PER AMENDMENT 5697 After completion of the double-blind phase 18 weeks on treatment followed by 4 weeks off treatment patients may receive open-label active drug treatment according to their previously assigned regimen for an additional 48 weeks
