  • Subjects with severe orthostatic symptoms as assessed by a score of ≥ 3 on Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) question 9.
  • Subjects who meet any of the following criteria which tend to suggest advanced disease:
  • Speech impairment as assessed by a score of ≥ 3 on UMSARS question 1
  • Swallowing impairment as assessed by a score of ≥ 3 on UMSARS question 2
  • Impairment in ambulation as assessed by a score of ≥ 3 on UMSARS question 7
  • Falling more frequently than once per week as assessed by a score of ≥ 3 on UMSARS question 8
