Percent of Subjects Who Failed to Maintain a Response
Failure to maintain a response was defined as any randomized subject that met both criterion 1 and criterion 2 below on Day 16: 1. The Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) Item 1 score increased by \>=4 points compared to baseline. OHSA Item 1 is a dizziness scale that is scored on a range from 0 (no dizziness) to 10 (severe dizziness). A lower score indicates less severe symptoms. 2. There was an increase in the number of syncopal/near syncopal events or severity of events within 15 minutes of standing compared to those observed at baseline. Syncope was defined as a loss of consciousness, and near syncope was defined as a feeling (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, feeling as though one would black out) that, without intervention, would lead to a loss of consciousness.
Time frame: 30 minutes post-dose on Day 16
