To provide early subsidies on the efficacy of phenylbutyrate in SCA3.\n\nDURATION: 12 months of a double-blind study.\n\nPLACE OF REALIZATION: Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil.\n\nNUMBER OF PATIENTS: 20 patients.\n\nCONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS: There are no concomitant medications that are prohibited unless they affect safety parameters of this study (hemogram and platelets; fasting serum glucose, AST, ALT, Gamma-GT, Bilirubins, Prothrombin time, Creatinine, Urea, Na, K, chlorides and arterial gasometry; electrocardiogram and echocardiogram).\n\nMEDICATIONS UNDER INVESTIGATION: Powdered sodium phenylbutyrate in sachets containing each 3g. At the start of the study, the dose will be 15g/day (five sachets) and may be reduced in case of mild adverse events.\n\nOUTCOMES Primary safety outcome: The number of adverse events, interruptions and dose reductions in the two groups (cases and controls).\n\nEfficacy outcomes: Efficacy outcomes are the following scores in both groups: NESSCA, SARA, Barthel, BDI, and WHOQol.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '16 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
