“This report, draws attention to the future potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease by GLP-1 agonist drugs, which is a growing and important area of clinical research, and which has been spearheaded in recent years by Cure Parkinson’s who have launched trials of Exenatide, Liraglutide and Lixisenatide in various groups of Parkinsons patients, with some trials already completed. Since the report was commissioned, we have seen further growth in this important area of research with the start of the Neuraly trials (NY001) and the Korean company, Peptron, also starting clinical trials.”
