Study of PRO 140 SC as Single Agent Maintenance Therapy in Virally Suppressed Subjects With CCR5-tropic HIV-1 Infection

The primary objective is to assess the treatment strategy of using PRO 140 SC as long-acting,
single-agent maintenance therapy for the chronic suppression of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection.
In addition, the prognostic factors of therapeutic success of PRO 140 monotherapy will be
evaluated.

The secondary objective of the trial is to assess the clinical efficacy, safety and
tolerability parameters following substitution of combination antiretroviral therapy with
weekly PRO 140 monotherapy.

5. Serum aspartate transaminase (SGOT/AST) < 5 x ULN

2. Immunosuppressants within 60 days prior to the screening visit

3. Immunomodulating agents (e.g., interleukins, interferons), hydroxyurea, or
foscarnet within 60 days prior to the screening visit

4. Oral or parenteral corticosteroids within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
Subjects on chronic steroid therapy > 5 mg/day will be excluded with the
following exception:

- Subjects on inhaled, nasal, or topical steroids will not be excluded

15. Any other clinical condition that, in the Investigator's judgment, would potentially
compromise study compliance or the ability to evaluate safety/efficacy
