You may not qualify if:

  • Co-existing Condition:
  • Patients with any of the following symptoms or conditions are excluded:
  • Debilitated as a result of their HIV disease, associated illness or therapies who the investigator determines will not be able to complete the 12 week randomized dosing period.
  • Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK) score of \>= 3 for dementia.
  • Confounding neurological diseases which may interfere with interpretation of neurological and neurophysical assessments.
  • Malabsorption syndrome or other gastrointestinal dysfunction which renders them unable to take oral medication.
  • Chronic diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, other cardiac dysfunctions, etc., which in the investigator's opinion would compromise the safety of the patient.
  • Symptomatic AIDS-defining opportunistic infection not responsive to therapy.
  • Concurrent Medication:
  • Excluded:
  • Treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents within the first 12 weeks of the study.
  • Treatment with nerve growth factor within the first 12 weeks of study.
  • The use of narcotic analgesics, sedatives, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, anti-psychotic agents and other psychoactive drugs which would interfere with the assessment of the neurological and neurophysical status of the patient.
  • Use of stavudine (d4T) during the first 12 weeks of the study.
  • Immunomodulating agents (except GM/G-CSF or epoietin).
  • +29 more criteria
