In early Parkinson's disease, motor scores changed by -0.04 with lixisenatide versus 3.04 with placebo at 12 months (difference 3.08, 95% CI 0.86 to 5.30, P = 0.007).
In plain wordsIn early Parkinson's disease, motor disability progressed less with lixisenatide than placebo at 12 months.

At 12 months, scores on the MDS-UPDRS part III had changed by -0.04 points (indicating improvement) in the lixisenatide group and 3.04 points (indicating worsening disability) in the placebo group (difference, 3.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.86 to 5.30; P = 0.007).

In this phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we assessed the effect of lixisenatide on the progression of motor disability in persons with Parkinson's disease.
Participants in whom Parkinson's disease was diagnosed less than 3 years earlier, who were receiving a stable dose of medications to treat symptoms, and who did not have motor complications were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to daily subcutaneous lixisenatide or placebo for 12 months, followed by…
