<h3>Background</h3>Evidence, including animal, clinical, and real-world studies in individuals with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity, suggests reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease after GLP-1 receptor agonist exposure. The evoke and evoke+ trials aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in individuals with early Alzheimer's disease.<h3>Methods</h3>evoke and evoke+ were multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trials conducted across 566 sites in 40 countries. The trials assessed the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide up to 14 mg once daily in participants with amyloid-confirmed Alzheimer's disease, aged 55–85 years, with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. In evoke+, participants with significant small vessel pathology were included. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to once-daily semaglutide 14 mg (flexible dose) or placebo for up to 156 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in Clinical Dementia Rating—Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score from baseline to week 104, assessed in all randomised participants. Safety was assessed in all randomised participants and reported for those receiving at least one dose of study drug.

As efforts to support pregnancy planning and improve preconception health are increasing at scale, appropriate systems to monitor progress are required. Despite developments in a few countries, no surveillance systems currently in operation are using a comprehensive set of indicators for monitoring preconception health. This Review describes relevant indicators, reflecting both system-level and individual-level factors, that can be drawn from routine data sources to form the basis for developing new surveillance systems. We present a new framework for national and international surveillance that incorporates, for the first time, community perspectives on the factors that matter most before pregnancy and parenthood. Finally, we describe an international collaboration working towards a core set of indicators that can be compared across low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries, and discuss future directions to enhance and expand international monitoring of pregnancy planning and preconception health.
