E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To identify the biological mechanisms that mediate Exenatide-effect in the brain, and to measure true treatment-effect of Exenatide that is independent of the concurrent, symptomatic, dopaminergic treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To compare the effect of Exenatide to placebo on disease progression.
- To compare the effect of Exenatide to placebo on motor-symptom progression.
- To compare the effect of Exenatide to placebo on the non-motor symptom progression.
- To measure the safety of Exenatide in patients with PD.
- To evaluate pharmacokinetic properties of Exenatide. |
