NCT ID NCT02071459
First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called droxidopa (L-threo DOPS) against a placebo to see if it could reduce symptoms of orthostatic hypotension—dizziness and fainting when standing up—in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA). About 107 adults aged 30 to 80 with MSA and documented blood pressure drops took part. The main goal was to measure symptom changes after 12 weeks of treatment.
