Intervention(s):

Group I (Experimental): NeuroEPO 1mg (1ml) 3 times per week (alternate days) administered intranasally for 12 months. At first a volume of 0.25 ml will be administered in a nostril, putting pressure on the nostril on the opposite side. It will wait one minute and the same volume will be administered in the other nostril. After 5 minutes the above procedure will be repeated. The final volume administered shall be 1 mL (0.5 ml in each pit). The product will be administered drop by drop slowly. Group II (Control): Placebo (1ml) 3 times per week (alternate days) administered intranasally for 12 months. At first a volume of 0.25 ml will be administered in a nostril, putting pressure on the nostril on the opposite side. It will wait one minute and the same volume will be administered in the other nostril. After 5 minutes the above procedure will be repeated. The final volume administered shall be 1 mL (0.5 ml in each pit). The product will be administered drop by drop slowly.

Primary outcome(s):

Total SARA scale score (total value of the score). Measurement time: in the initial evaluation (baseline) and in the evaluations of month 6 and final (month 12).

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Cognitive affective functions (score value obtained after application of the Affective Cognitive Cerebellar Syndrome scale (SCHMAHMANN syndrome). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 and 12 months. 2. Volume and area of the cerebral cortex (obtained through MRI imaging studies). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 and 12 months. 3. Volume and area of the cerebellum (obtained through MRI imaging studies). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 and 12 months. 4. Volume and area of the brain stem (obtained through MRI imaging studies). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 and 12 months. 5. Adverse Events-AE (Occurrence (yes/no); Type of AE (AE name); Severity of the AE (Severe, Not Serious); Intensity of the AE (Mild, Moderate, Severe); Duration of the AE (Difference of dates between the start and end of the event); Causation Ratio (Very Likely, Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Unrelated, Not evaluable); Attitude to treatment (unchanged, dose modification, temporary interruption, or definitive); Treatment of the AE (treatment received); AE result (recovered, improved, persists or sequels)). Measurement time: During a time patient study until 12 months. 6. Vital signs (Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic), heart rate (FC), respiratory rate (FR)). Measurement time: Before and after each intranasal application. 7. Cardiovascular function (result of the electrocardiogram). Measurement time: At baseline and, 6 and 12 months. 8. Laboratory tests (Hematology [values of hemoglobin, differential leukogram, hematocrit, platelets]; Blood chemistry [values of urea, creatinine, glycemia, glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT)]; Coagulation tests [partial thromboplastin time (PTT), prothrombin time (PT)]).
