Atopic Dermatitis Summit: Perspectives on a Global Burden of Disease

The treatment of AD is a clinical challenge on a global level. Targeted immunomodulatory agents, based on recent advances in the understanding of the disease pathophysiology, represent additional options for long-term control.  There are several new targeted therapeutics with novel mechanisms of action, as well as existing therapies being investigated for treatment in additional age indications, being added to the treatment toolkit for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis around the globe, including but not limited to the United States, Canada, European Union, Japan, and China. It is imperative that clinicians are aware of the need for these newer targeted therapies, how to prescribe them appropriately for optimized treatment regimens and patient outcomes, and how to address any region-specific challenges with patient care.

Target Audience

This educational activity is designed for a global audience of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health providers (nurse practitioners/physician assistants) in medical practices that specialize in dermatology.

  • Review clinical features of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis
  • Identify tools for assessing atopic dermatitis severity
  • Summarize the efficacy and safety of current and emerging targeted therapies for treatment of moderate-to-severe AD
  • Discuss individualized treatment plans for pediatric and adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD that promote long-term disease management and improved quality of life
