- •Participant has a diagnosis of possible or probable MSA of the Parkinsonian subtype (MSA-P) or cerebellar subtype (MSA-C) according to The Gilman Criteria (2008).
- •Participant has a diagnosis of possible or probable MSA of the Parkinsonian subtype (MSA-P) or cerebellar subtype (MSA-C) confirmed by the Enrollment Steering Committee (ESC).
- •Participant must meet the diagnostic criteria of nOH, as demonstrated by a sustained reduction in BP of ≥20 mmHg (systolic) or ≥10 mmHg (diastolic) within 3 min of standing as part of orthostatic standing test or being tilted up ≥60o from a supine position as determined by a tilt-table test.
- •Participant must score ≤4 on UMSARS Part IV at Visit 1 (Screening).
- •Participant must score at least a 4 on the OHSA item 1 at Visit 2 (Day 1).
- •Participant must be willing to not take any prohibited medications during the study.
- •If participant is female, the participant must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy during the course of the study. A woman of childbearing potential must have a documented negative pregnancy test at screening.

- •Participant is willing and able to provide signed and dated written informed consent to -participate prior to initiation of any study related procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participant has a systemic illness known to produce autonomic neuropathy, including, but not limited to, amyloidosis and autoimmune neuropathies. Participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the medical monitor and considered ineligible unless they meet all of the following criteria:

- •HbA1C of ≤7.5% performed during screening or up to 12 weeks before screening
- •No clinically evident peripheral neuropathy (e.g., normal sensory examination on peripheral extremities)
- •No known retinopathy (e.g., annual ophthalmic exam is sufficient)
- •No nephropathy (e.g., absence of albuminuria and GFR \>60).
- •Participant has a known intolerance to other NRIs or SNRIs.
- •Participant currently uses concomitant antihypertensive medication for the treatment of essential hypertension.
- •Participant has used strong CYP1A2 inhibitors or inducers within 7 days or 5 half lives, whichever is longer, prior to Visit 2 (Day 1) or requires concomitant use until the Safety follow-up Visit.
- •Participant has changed dose, frequency, or type of prescribed medication for orthostatic hypotension within 7 days prior to Visit 2 (Day 1).
