course information

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Approximately one-third of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) have severe disease that requires systemic treatment directed at controlling immune responses. In recent years, novel therapies targeting the underlying pathophysiology of AD have been approved with many more emerging, but many clinicians lack familiarity with these new and emerging agents as well as related mechanisms of action and safety and efficacy profiles. Furthermore, clinicians often underestimate AD disease severity and the impact on patient’s quality of life (QoL), leading to undertreatment.

“Targeted Therapies For Atopic Dermatitis: On the Cusp of a Golden Era?” aims to provide allergists and dermatologists with up-to-date information on management of moderate to severe AD, including the health burden of uncontrolled disease, identification of patients with more severe disease who require treatment escalation, evidence-based use of newer targeted therapies, and how emerging therapies may impact AD management in the near term.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for allergists and dermatologists who manage patients with moderate to severe AD.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this education, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the role of type 2 inflammatory processes in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis
  • Utilize evidence-based disease assessment tools to identify patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
  • Implement shared decision-making into routine practice to incorporate patient goals and needs into multidisciplinary atopic dermatitis action plans
  • Evaluate the safety and efficacy of current and emerging targeted therapies for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
