Unpack the keys to successful disease control in CRSwNP alongside expert Prof. Vibeke Backer. Learn how to navigate treatment pathways for improved patient quality of life.
The ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, featuring Prof. Vibeke Backer and Prof. Sietze Reitsma, titled "Type 2 Inflammation and Disease Control in CRSwNP: Current Perspectives and Future Directions," will delve into the complexities of the role of type 2 inflammation in CRSwNP.
This infographic explores the emerging concepts of disease activity, disease stability, and disease control in COPD.

Dr Jason Hawkes describes the importance of early intervention for patients with uncontrolled skin diseases and the effectiveness of evidence-based management strategies, sharing a patient case and his clinical insights with chronic spontaneous urticaria. Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, and Culton join to review the burdens faced by patients with atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and bullous pemphigoid, respectively.

Dr. Simpson discusses impact of advanced systemic therapies in AD, and the link between inhibition of type 2 inflammation and reduced IgE levels.
Watch Prof G. Walter Canonica discuss the need to move beyond disease control to clinical remission in asthma and CRSwNP.

Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.
Prof. Vibeke Backer provides an insightful presentation on the association of type 2 inflammation and the pathogenesis and management of severe and uncontrolled CRSwNP.
Professors Brian Lipworth, Zuzana Diamant, and Philippe Gevaert delve into the complexities of managing patients with both severe and/or uncontrolled CRSwNP and co-existing asthma through an evaluation of the diagnostic challenges, personalized treatment strategies, and the latest advancements in understanding the interconnected pathophysiology of these type 2 airway diseases.
In this video soundbite from the ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, Dr. Vibeke Backer discusses how Type 2 inflammation drives severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP. It covers key immune cells and biomarkers (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TSLP), global prevalence differences, and the importance of symptom tracking and targeted therapies.

Dr. Ramien explores the concept of disease modification in AD focusing on disease control, and the prevention or slowing of development of atopic comorbidities.

Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the differing goals of patients and physicians in treating atopic dermatitis and emphasizes the importance of patient input.
