In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Amy Paller discusses the significant risk of developing other atopic diseases among infants with early-onset atopic dermatitis.
This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Amy Paller reviews a Japanese study showing that early proactive treatment of infant atopic dermatitis with topical corticosteroids reduced the incidence of food allergy but was also associated with decreased gains in height and weight.
The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.

Join Christine Bangert, Mark Boguniewicz and Perla Lansang for an educational symposium on atopic dermatitis (AD) in children, exploring the diagnosis and pathophysiology of AD in children, the life-long effects of uncontrolled disease beyond the skin, and current and emerging therapies.

This symposium illustrated the ways type 2inflammation contributes to atopic dermatitis (AD) disease pathogenesis within and beyond the skin, discussed the importance of early intervention in children with AD, and explored the potential for disease modification. The program concluded with a review of the latest clinical and real-world data on advanced systemic treatments for children with AD.

Dr. Ramien discusses the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis, and highlights the association of atopic dermatitis with systemic diseases and comorbidities.

Dr. Paller presents highlights from recent clinical studies in AD, which highlight the potential benefits of early and effective AD treatment in modifying disease progression and mitigating atopic comorbidities.
How type 2 inflammation drives atopic dermatitis and underlies other atopic diseases across multiple disease trajectories including the atopic march.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explains how underlying type 2 inflammation sustains the chronic itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis, highlighting the interplay of barrier dysfunction, cytokine signaling, and neuronal activation.
