Non-pharmacological therapy only: Engaged exclusively in non-drug interventions (e.g., cognitive training); 3.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA), multiple sclerosis (MS), Huntington's disease (HD), etc. 2. Current diagnosis of a poorly controlled or unstable psychiatric disorder (including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, personality disorders, etc.), which, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with study assessments, affect treatment compliance, or increase participant risk. 3. With a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score ≥10 at screening, or a Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) score ≥10 at screening. 4. History of stroke (ischemic/hemorrhagic), transient ischemic attack (TIA), or epileptic seizure within 3 months prior to screening; Current or prior diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) disorders that may impair cognitive function, including but not limited to: CNS infections, Intracranial tumors, Metabolic encephalopathy, Neurological disorders due to malnutrition, or Severe traumatic brain injury. 5. Acute hyperglycemic/hypoglycemic events within 1 year, including: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), and Hypoglycemic coma 6. Use of GLP-1R agonists, GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonists, or GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonists within 3 months prior to screening. 7. Regular use (\>2 doses/week) of moderate-to-strong anticholinergic drugs within 4 weeks prior to screening; Use within 3 months prior to screening of: Anti-Parkinsonian drugs, Antiepileptic drugs, Antipsychotics, Morphine and opioid analgesics (Exemption: Short-term use \[\<5 days\] for surgery/acute injury, if completed \>4 weeks before screening); Use within 4 weeks prior to screening of: CNS stimulants; Medical/recreational cannabis, cannabinoids, or cannabidiol (CBD).a.

ALT/AST \>3× upper limit of normal (ULN) 2. eGFR \<45 mL/min/1.73m² (CKD-EPI equation) 3. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction (MI), or NYHA Class II+ heart failure within 3 months 12. Known/suspected hypersensitivity to the investigational product or related compounds 13. Pregnancy, lactation, or women of childbearing potential not using highly effective contraception. 14. MRI contraindications (e.g., metal implants, claustrophobia). 15. Participation in other clinical trials within 3 months, involving an investigational medicinal product or enrollment in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study. 16. Any other condition deemed by the investigator to compromise safety or interfere with study assessments.
