The Exenatide PD Study trial is now open for screening and recruitment

Some of you will have heard Dr Gordon Duncan speak about plans for this important UK-wide phase 3 clinical trial at our Branch meeting in 2019.  In February 2020 some ERIG members visited the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility at the Western General Hospital where Exenatide trial participants will be assessed and also met some of the nursing staff involved.

Gordon is now pleased to confirm that permission has been given to start the trial in Edinburgh.  The Exenatide PD Study trial is now open for screening and recruitment.

You can find out more about the trial here:
