Experimental: Open Label Period
Active droxidopa 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 mg three times daily (TID) orally. During the Open Label Titration Period, patients will first receive 100 mg TID and their dose will be raised (in 100 mg increments) at subsequent visits until optimal dose is determined. During the Open Label Treatment Period, patients will receive active droxidopa100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 600 mg three times daily (TID) orally (equal to the patient's individual dose at the end of the Open-Label Titration Period).

- Time-to-intervention [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]
Need for intervention is defined as meeting ANY of the following criteria during the Double-Blind Period:
- Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item #1 ≥2 unit worsening from Randomization (Visit 6) AND lack of efficacy as judged by the investigator; OR
- OHSA Item #1 ≥2 unit worsening from Randomization (Visit 6) at 2 consecutive visits; OR
- OHSA Item #1 ≥2 unit worsening from Randomization (Visit 6) at the visit before early discontinuation; OR
- Patient stops IMP or withdraws from study for patient-reported lack of efficacy.
The timing of the need for intervention in the above criteria is defined as the first occurrence of a worsening of OHSA Item #1 by ≥ 2 units or when the patient stops taking IMP or withdraws due to a patient-reported lack of efficacy.
- Time to all cause discontinuation [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Discontinuation for any reason
- Mean change in OHSA item #1 score from Randomization (Visit 6) to all post-Randomization visits [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Mean change in OHSA item #1 score from Randomization (Visit 6) to all post-Randomization visits
- Mean change in Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) composite score from Randomization (Visit 6) to all post-Randomization visits [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Mean change in Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) composite score from Randomization (Visit 6) to all post-Randomization visits
- Clinician-rated Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) at all post-Randomization visits (Visits 7-12) [ Time Frame: Week 2 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Clinician-rated Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) scores at all post-Randomization visits (Visits 7-12)
- Patient-rated Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) at all post-Randomization visits (Visits 7-12) [ Time Frame: Week 2 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Patient-rated Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) scores at all post-Randomization visits (Visits 7-12)
- Proportion of patients who need intervention over the 12-week Double-Blind Treatment period [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Week 12 of double-blind period ]Proportion of patients who need intervention over the 12-week Double-Blind Treatment period

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years or older and able to stand (with or without limited assistance)
- Clinical diagnosis of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension associated with Primary Autonomic Failure (PD, MSA or PAF) or NDAN or DBH Deficiency
- Score of at least 4 or greater on Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item #1 (measured at Screening [Visit 1] and the first Titration Visit [Visit 2a] prior to dosing)
- A documented drop of at least 20 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) in SBP, within 3 minutes of standing. This can either be documented in the patient history or assessed during Screening prior to the first Titration Visit (Visit 2a)
- Provide written informed consent to participate in the study and understand that they may withdraw their consent at any time without prejudice to their future medical care
Additional inclusion criteria for patients taking prescribed droxidopa prior to study entry:
Patients who are taking prescribed droxidopa therapy are eligible to participate in the study if they meet the other inclusion criteria and also have been on a stable dose of prescribed droxidopa for at least 2 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1). In addition, they must meet either of the following at the Screening Visit (Visit 1):
- The patient's Visit 1 OHSA Item #1 score is ≥ 7 AND the prescribed dose is ≤ 300 mg three times daily (TID); OR
- The patient's Visit 1 OHSA Item #1 score is ≤6 AND worsens by ≥ 2 units when retested after washing out of droxidopa for at least 3 days
Exclusion Criteria:
- In the investigator's opinion, the patient is not able to understand or cooperate with study procedures
- Known or suspected alcohol or substance use disorder within the past 12 months (DSM-5 criteria)
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCP) who are not using at least one method of contraception with their partner
- Sustained supine hypertension greater than or equal to 180 mmHg systolic or 110 mmHg diastolic. Sustained is defined as the average of 3 observations each at least 10 minutes apart with the patient having been supine and at rest for at least 5 minutes prior to each measurement.
- Untreated closed angle glaucoma
- Diagnosis of hypertension that requires treatment with antihypertensive medications (short-acting antihypertensives to treat nocturnal supine hypertension are allowed in this study)
- Any significant uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
- History of myocardial infarction or stroke, within the past 2 years
