Adjunctive Dulaglutide in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Open-Label Proof-of-Concept Trial
A 12-month randomized controlled trial evaluated dulaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) as adjunctive therapy alongside natalizumab in 28 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, measuring neurofilament light chain levels, brain MRI changes, and functional outcomes. Treatment with dulaglutide significantly reduced weight, BMI, and body fat while improving glucose tolerance and potentially showing neuroprotective effects.
