Clinical Trial: Clinical Study of Droxidopa in Patients With Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (NOH) (Droxi-304)

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Multi-center, Open-label Study to Assess the Long-term Safety of Droxidopa in Subjects With Primary Autonomic Failure, Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase Deficiency or Non-Diabet

Brief Summary: Symptomatic NOH in patients with primary autonomic failure is thought to be a consequence of norepinephrine depletion leading to a diminished capacity to effect an appropriate cardiovascular response to an orthostatic challenge resulting in symptomatic cerebral-hypoperfusion. Droxidopa augments norepinephrine levels which should lead to improved cerebral perfusion following orthostatic challenge thereby reducing the symptoms of NOH. The present study will evaluate the long-term safety of droxidopa.
