Expanding the AD Toolb-OX: A New Pathway for Treating Moderate-to-Severe Disease
The management of moderate-to-severe AD remains challenging due to high disease burden and disease heterogeneity, highlighting the need for more broadly targeted therapeutics. The OX40-OX40L pathway has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for improving outcomes in heterogenous disease. To capitalize on the potential treatment benefits of emerging agents in this category, clinicians must be knowledgeable of the role of OX40-OX40L in AD, the clinical efficacy and safety data for emerging OX40-OX40L-targeted agents, and the gaps in current management that contribute to the burden of disease. In this educational activity, leading dermatology faculty address the current gaps in care of AD, the rationale of OX40-OX40L as a therapeutic target, and topline clinical trial efficacy and safety data for emerging agents targeting this pathway.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians, nurses, and other advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners and physician associates) in medical practices that specialize in dermatology.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe current gaps in disease management and factors that contribute to a high disease burden.
- Summarize AD pathogenesis, the role of the OX40-OX40L pathway in disease, and the rationale as a therapeutic target.
- Critically analyze the clinical efficacy and safety data for emerging agents that target the OX40-OX40L pathway.
- Diagnosing Severe AA
- AA Disease Burden by Age and Race
- Treatment Practices
