Caregiver must be able to read, understand, and speak local language fluently to ensure comprehension of informed consent and protocol- specified assessments.

This may include medications commonly used for Parkinson's disease or those for autonomic dysfunction. m.

The two methods of contraception should include: - one barrier metho
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Target Disease Exceptions a. Subjects having advanced disease as defined in the protocol. b. Subjects having significant cognitive impairment, defined by a score of less than or equal to 20 on the MoCA Medical History Exclusions a. Any condition that would interfere with the subject's ability to comply with study instructions, place the subject at unacceptable risk, and/or confound the interpretation of safety or efficacy data from the study, as judged by the Investigator. b. Diagnosis of neurological disorders, other than MSA as defined in the protocol c. History of or Screening brain MRI scan indicative of significant abnormality. d. Contraindication to MRI examination for any reason. e. For optional CSF sub-study: contraindication to undergoing an LP. f. Presence of clinically significant thyroid disease with abnormal free T4 levels and TSH >10mIU/L (despite treatment) at Screening , confirmed by repeat. g. Within 1 year prior to Screening or between Screening and Baseline (Day -1), any of the following: myocardial infarction; hospitalization for congestive heart failure; hospitalization for, or symptoms of, unstable angina; or syncope not related to MSA. h. Diagnosis of clinically significant psychiatric disorder as defined in the protocol. i. History of substance use disorder (drug or alcohol) in the last 12 months, with the exception of nicotine, as defined by DSM-V criteria. j. History or presence of gastrointestinal or other disease known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, or a history of surgery known to interfere with absorption or excretion of drugs (i.e. gastric bypass). k. History of any other clinically significant disease that, based on the judgment of the Investigator, is clinically unstable, is likely to deteriorate during the course of the study, could put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, could affect the subject's ability to complete the study, or could influence the study results. l. History of human immunodeficiency virus infection. m. Hematologic or solid malignancy diagnosis within 5 years prior to Screening. n. Any major surgery within 4 weeks of Screening. o. Blood transfusion within 4 weeks of Screening. p. History of brain surgery for Parkinsonism. q. History of stem-cell treatment. r. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. s. Subjects or prisoners who are involuntarily detained or incarcerated for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical illness must not be enrolled into the study. t. Any medical condition, based on the judgement of the Investigator, that would confound the ability to adequately assess safety and efficacy outcome measures Physical and Laboratory Test Findings a. Evidence of organ dysfunction or any clinically significant deviation from normal in physical examination, vital signs, ECG, or clinical laboratory determinations beyond what is consistent with the target population. b. Clinically significant abnormality on 12-lead ECG prior to study drug administration beyond what is consistent with the target population, confirmed by repeat. c. QTcF (Fridericia) interval = 470 msec during the Screening/Baseline period or uncontrolled arrhythmia or frequent premature ventricular contraction (PVCs) (> 5/minute) or Mobitz Type II second or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block or left bundle branch block, or right bundle branch block with a QRS duration = 150 msec or intraventricula
