COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Aug. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lixisenatide may have potential disease-modifying effects when used an adjunction to antiparkinsonian medications, according to a multicenter phase II clinical trial released today at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders® in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Key Points: 
  • "The study design is innovative, because it examines drug effects in both ON and OFF phases."
  • Lixisenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1-R) agonist, is commonly used to treat type II diabetes.
  • After one year of daily treatment, the lixisenatide subjects were less disabled, when assessed by the MDS-UPDRS, a standard examination score of PD impairment.
  • Larger international studies will definitively define this drug's place in our treatment portfolio, but disease-modifying therapies are a goal that would open the prospect of treating the underlying disease as well as ameliorating symptoms."
