flag Lixisenatide drug trial suggests slowed Parkinson's progression, but with side effects.

flag Diabetes drug lixisenatide may slow Parkinson's disease progression, according to a recent study. flag The LixiPark trial, involving 156 people with recently diagnosed Parkinson's, found motor symptoms progressed slower in those receiving lixisenatide treatment compared to a control group. flag However, side effects including nausea and vomiting were observed in 46% and 13% of patients, respectively. flag The study's results are only preliminary, and larger, longer studies are needed to confirm the drug's effectiveness in slowing disease progression.
