Navigating Chronic Urticaria Care Today and Tomorrow

The symptoms and management of chronic urticaria (CU) can present significant challenges for affected patients. Although antihistamines are the first-line option for patients with CU, many do not achieve adequate symptom control. Current treatments target histamine or autoantibodies, but novel therapies, such as Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are being developed. To effectively manage chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), HCPs require education on the recommendations for diagnosis and management of these conditions, as well as the clinical efficacy and safety of new and emerging treatments. This on-demand session, recorded during the 2026 South Beach Symposium, will provide learners with expert-guided instruction on the recognition and diagnosis of CSU/CIndU, as well as the most up-to-date clinical data for current and emerging targeted therapies to overcome unmet treatment needs.

Target Audience

This session is designed for an audience of US-based physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers and professional staff members of medical practices specializing in dermatology.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Distinguish the clinical features of chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic inducible urticaria, and similar conditions to facilitate initiation of appropriate treatment.
  • Critically analyze the clinical data for current and emerging targeted therapies for chronic urticaria to overcome treatment challenges.
