Diabetes drug shows promise in slowing Parkinson's progression

NCT ID NCT03439943

Summary

This study tested whether lixisenatide, a drug used for type 2 diabetes, could slow the worsening of movement problems in people with early Parkinson's disease. 156 participants received either the drug or a placebo as a daily injection for one year, in addition to their standard Parkinson's medications. The main goal was to see if the drug could modify the underlying disease process, not just treat symptoms.
