Researchers concluded that the GLP-1RA showed no ability to slow disease progression in people living with Parkinson’s disease.

The study may suggest that other researchers should be less optimistic about the prospects for treating a range of other conditions with newer weight-loss drugs.

A drug for treating diabetes similar to popular weight-loss medicines such as Ozempic did not show any benefits for people with Parkinson’s disease, according to a new study. Researchers conducted a double-blind,

The FDA approved an apomorphine hydrochloride infusion device (Onapgo) to treat motor fluctuations in adults with advanced Parkinson's disease, Supernus Pharmaceuticals announced on Tuesday. The wearable device is the first subcutaneous apomorphine infusion device for Parkinson's and provides continuous treatment during the day, Supernus noted.

Treatment with exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, was comparable to placebo in slowing the rate of Parkinson’s disease progression over 96 weeks of treatment, according to a phase 3 study published in The Lancet.

The GLP-1 drug, exenatide, has no positive impact on the movement, symptoms or brain imaging of people with Parkinson's, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Hopes that GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy could help slow Parkinson's disease have taken an hit. A new study found that a drug in the same class called exenatide, marketed as Byetta, had no effect on slowing the disease or easing its symtoms.
