MSA

This study investigates the safety and efficacy of autologous stem cell therapy in patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic failure, parkinsonism, and cerebellar ataxia. The trial will evaluate functional outcomes, motor performance, and quality of life compared to placebo/controlled group.

This study is an observational, prospective genetic study. It aims to obtain DNA for research and testing from patients with PSP, CBS, MSA, and related neurological conditions and their families. Up to 1,000 adults who have been clinically diagnosed with PSP, CBS, MSA, or related neurological conditions will be enrolled. The study intervention involves sequencing of participant blood samples using non-CLIA-approved whole genome sequencing at the National Institutes of Health. Pathogenic variants that are deemed possibly related to these conditions will be confirmed using CLIA-approved testing. The study involves minimal risk to participants.
