Summary
This study tested whether exenatide, a drug already used for diabetes, can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. About 194 people with early-stage Parkinson's took either exenatide or a placebo for 96 weeks. The goal was to see if the drug could protect nerve cells and reduce worsening of movement and other symptoms.
