NAPA, Calif., July 19, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Neurovations, a leading medical research and innovation company, is proud to have collaborated on a groundbreaking study investigating the effects of the monoclonal antibody, donanemab, on patients with the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease.
Neurovations began enrolling patients in 2021 in advance of Eli Lilly's recent announcement of positive results from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 Phase 3 trial. This study demonstrated that donanemab significantly slowed cognitive and functional decline in individuals with early Alzheimer's Disease.
"We are thrilled to be part of this vital research. Alzheimer's Disease affects nearly 1 million people in my home state of California," said Dr. Eric Grigsby. "This is a significant step forward in the fight against Alzheimer's, and we are optimistic about the impact this treatment may have on the members of my community with this condition."
Neurovations was founded in Napa in 1992 by Dr. Eric Grigsby and is a national leader in clinical research for pain and neurologic diseases, treatment for chronic pain, molecular diagnostics testing, and education programs focused on pain and neuroscience.
The TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, evaluated the safety and efficacy of donanemab, an investigational, amyloid-targeting therapy. Participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease were enrolled in the study, and those with confirmed presence of AD neuropathology completed their course of treatment with donanemab.
Neurovations Research was selected as a study site in 2021 and worked with Eli Lilly to contribute to this groundbreaking research. Dr. Grigsby's expertise and passion for advancing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and chronic pain have been instrumental in the success of this collaboration.
Key findings from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 study include:
● Nearly half (47%) of participants on donanemab showed no clinical progression at one year, defined as no decline in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), compared to 29% of participants on placebo.
● Donanemab treatment slowed clinical decline by 35% compared to placebo, leading to a 40% reduction in the decline of activities of daily living.
These results have significant implications for the treatment of early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease and have prompted Lilly to move forward with FDA approval and global regulatory submissions. Neurovations and Dr. Eric Grigsby's involvement in this study have further enhanced the research community's understanding of the potential benefits of donanemab in Alzheimer's disease management.
"Alzheimer's Disease affects an estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older. This first step is monumental on the path to a cure. We are thrilled to have been part of the study and sincerely hope to begin offering the treatment as soon as possible," stated Dr Grigsby.

LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The platform is home to a marketplace that hosts listings for luxury asset and service providers, providing customized account access to individual clients, concierge companies and corporate travel groups.
Cooper expands on the company's proven track record in the luxury industry and is a global expansion for the Cooper Hues product portfolio beyond the private jet charter space. Cooper Hues' venture into the technology space is aimed at filling a longstanding gap in the industry, whereby, sourcing, booking and reservation management is still a largely manual process. Designed with concierge, vendor and corporate partners in mind, Cooper enables enterprises to instantly increase their global footprint and streamline business operations, saving money and increasing their margins — all while reducing the agency's overhead that is typically associated with sourcing, quote reviews and reservation management. The platform even includes a commission markup tool and multi-currency, secure payment gateways to make the process of sourcing, customizing and securing a reservation as efficient as possible.
Cooper's state-of-the-art digital platform also enables independent clients to browse, book and manage their own lifestyle services. The company recognizes modern consumer behavior depicts a change in preferences, with a large majority of industry newcomers looking for more control over their booking experience. Clients have the option of performing one-time reservations or booking assets and services on a recurring subscription basis.
For those requiring more bespoke services, Cooper Hues provides an even higher tier of membership: the Cooper Verified status. Such membership includes '24/7, 365' Cooper concierge access with a dedicated Cooper agent. Cooper Verified agents deliver bespoke requests, deals and packages outside of existing marketplace options, and provide client access to ultra-premium categories like private jet club memberships, exclusive parties and more.
"It's a game changer," says founder and CEO Gal Ozery. "It does for luxury services what Airbnb did for holiday rentals and what Amazon did to everyday shopping. We combined every asset and service that high-end clients want into a single platform that supports various types of members. Everybody wins."
Vendors and concierge companies can expect to reduce booking risks, payment delays and lack of data security with the digital storefront and partner services provided by Cooper's platform. The platform aims to reduce their partners' overall booking and operations costs by an estimated 10-20% — an overhead cost typically incurred by firms who do not leverage technology to source, quote and manage their client books.
Cooper Hues has already begun accepting new clientele and partners amidst the pre-launch, and is opening the books to more clients, vendors, corporate, and concierge companies ahead of the global launch.

ATLANTA, July 19, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Kids Write Network's "RISE for Mental Tour with Les Twins" (RMH) has received praise from educators, parents and students across North America during visits to schools, community centers and hospitals. The Kids Write Network (KWN) and world-renowned dancers Larry and Laurent Bourgeois, known as Les Twins, aim to raise awareness about mental health and improve access to treatment and services.
In November 2022, Les Twins collaborated with KWN to develop workshops for schools and received widespread attention, with over 500 schools seeking to host the RHM tour. Through the power of dance, Les Twins demonstrate how they use body movement to cope with mental struggles, promote empowerment and show resilience.
The U.S. leg of RMH will launch Oct. 16 in Atlanta at the end of the current world tour that features Les Twins and their breathtaking performances. KWN will also release its AI app, which helps users measure progress in their mental health journeys.
KWN is a scientifically developed and medically approved in-school program that combines positive psychology, neuroscience, literary and art disciplines and the KWN Scyibl six-step program to provide students the tools to understand and better communicate about their mental health. KWN has received recognition from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who recommends the KWN program to Canadian schools.
The ATL Year of the Youth initiative is the reason the U.S. debut of RMH will be in Atlanta. KWN, Les Twins and Atlanta want to ensure youth have all of the resources they need to thrive.
Atlanta is also home to music industry veteran and philanthropist Shanti Das' nonprofit organization "Silence the Shame" (STS), dedicated to eliminating mental health stigma, and to reducing health disparities, and suicide rates among vulnerable populations. STS creates positive experiences, relationships, and environments, promoting positive youth development and empowering young people to prioritize their mental well-being. As an advocate for innovative solutions to engage in marginalized communities, STS is pleased to serve as an outreach partner for the RMH tour. "Mental health conditions are a public health issue in our community, and we are dedicated to offering tools to support good mental health for youth," says Das. A live taping of the "Silence the Shame" podcast and KWN Les Twins demo is scheduled for Aug. 13, 2023.
Due to its dedication and commitment to leading independent schools in best practices around mental health, Atlanta's Pace Academy is the first school on the RMH US tour. "Pace is thrilled to partner with Kids Write Network and Les Twins to support mental wellness, engage young people, and promote positivity, joy and art through this unique program. Mental health is a focus of Excellence in Every Endeavor, our school's 2022-2027 strategic plan, and our community is honored to serve as the launch site for RISE for Mental Health's U.S. tour," states Fred Assaf, Head of School, Pace Academy.
