According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders: “There is no specific treatment that slows down the progression of corticobasal degeneration. Treatment is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual, although most cases prove resistant to such therapy.” You can read more on their website here: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/corticobasal-degeneration/
