Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 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. To evaluate the effect on motor-symptom progression. (open-label extension part one). To evaluate the rate and severity of AEs and the number of AEs related to long-term exposure to Exenatide(open-label extension part two). ;Secondary Objective: - 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. - Frequency of adverse events (open-label extension part one). - To evaluate changes in motor, and non-motor symptoms activities of daily living and complications by dopaminergic treatment (open-label extension part one and two ). ;Primary end point(s): FDG-PET network analysis;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, 9 and 21 months | — |
