LatAm-FINGERS Initiative for Cognitive Change

Today we know that 40% of dementia cases worldwide can be prevented through lifestyle modification. If we look at Latin America, this number is 56%. Latin America is a region with high-risk factors for dementia due to weakened socioeconomic infrastructure, an impoverished healthcare system, and low average education levels in the region. Additionally, we know that cardiovascular health is an important factor in the development of dementia. Under this scenario, LatAm-FINGERS is a multicenter study designed to prevent memory decline through lifestyle modification in people aged 60 to 77 at risk of dementia. Twelve Latin American countries are participating (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru), with 100 individuals per center. These individuals are randomly assigned to two groups: (1) a group making systematic lifestyle changes (physical and cognitive training, implementation of the Mediterranean-dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, socialization, and regular health check-ups) and (2) a group receiving regular health advice. The main objective of LatAm-FINGERS is to determine if this intervention is feasible in Latin America. Secondarily, we want to test if this lifestyle change can lead to improvements in participants' cognition over time (2 years). If successful, the results of this study will have large-scale implications for public policy regarding the standard of clinical care and prescriptive practices for a fast-growing and vulnerable population of older adults. LatAm-FINGERS is based on the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER), which demonstrated that lifestyle modification promotes positive changes in memory and attention. Additionally, our study is aligned with the U.S. Study to Protect Brain Health Through Lifestyle Intervention to Reduce Risk (U.S. POINTER), which is conducting a similar intervention in the United States. This project is fully funded by the Alzheimer's Association.

Study of Ravulizumab in Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN)

The I CAN study will enroll approximately 510 eligible participants with IgAN who are high risk of disease progression. Participants will be on stable concomitant IgAN treatment(s) consistent with standard of care for patients with IgAN for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Approximately 450 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive a weight-based IV infusion of either ravulizumab or placebo. An interim analysis may be conducted at Week 34 to evaluate change in proteinuria and the final analysis will be conducted at Week 106 to evaluate eGFR. In addition, approximately 60 participants with eGFR 20-29 mL/min/1.73m2 will be enrolled in an Advanced Kidney Disease (AdKD) Cohort After Week 106, all participants have the option to enter an Open-label Ravulizumab Access Period.
