First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether exenatide, a drug already used for diabetes, can slow the worsening of Parkinson's disease. About 194 people with early-stage Parkinson's received either exenatide or a placebo once a week for two years. The goal was to see if the drug protects nerve cells and reduces movement and non-movement symptoms.
