About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether MSA-01 slows the progression of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and to assess its safety.

The primary question is:

• Does MSA-01 slow the progression of motor impairment as measured by UMSARS Part 2 score?

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive MSA-01 or placebo for 12 months. They will attend regular clinic visits for safety and efficacy assessments and record their medication use and any side effects in a diary.
