The ILC will host concurrent webinars in three, time-zone friendly clusters: the Americas, Asia Pacific, and the combined continents of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
“This year has seen dramatic disruptions, not only due to the COVID-19 pandemic but in geopolitics, the world economy, the media, religion and all levels of society,” said Universal Peace Federation Chairman Dr. Thomas G. Walsh.
“When the world’s leaders and citizens gather and listen to each other,” he added, “it’s easy to envision how our friendships can grow, and how we can live as one global family.”

New AJOVY® (fremanezumab) Migraine Prevention Data Challenges Treatment Pauses28.6.2024 18:30:00 EEST | Press release
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announces new data from the 4th interim analysis of the PEARL migraine prevention study with AJOVY® (fremanezumab) that may challenge the rationale for treatment pauses with calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (CGRP mAbs) mandated or recommended by some reimbursement authorities after one year of continuous use. The sub-analysis from the PEARL real world data explored the impact of fremanezumab treatment cessation and reinitiation on monthly migraine days (MMD) in adult patients with episodic or chronic migraine. The data1 show that pausing treatment of fremanezumab, a CGRP-pathway mAb, may result in a potential rise in monthly migraine days (MMD) following treatment cessation and reduced effectiveness upon reinitiation compared to the first treatment cycle, adding to the burden of the individual living with migraine: Over 40% of patients experienced a rapid worsening of their migraine (>=50% increase in
