Highlights from the ADVENT educational symposium at EADV 2024 where Professors Eric Simpson, Stephan Weidinger, and Marjolein de Bruin-Weller explored the local and systemic effects of type 2 inflammation in AD and potential benefits of early intervention with regard to disease modification.

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.

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.

Join leading dermatologists for educational symposia on atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, and chronic spontaneous urticaria at the EADV congress in Paris, France.

The ADVENT symposium at the 15th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) will focus on discussions around disease modification in atopic dermatitis (AD) in three main topic areas: restoring the skin barrier, reducing non-atopic comorbidities, and stopping the atopic march in pediatric patients with AD aged 6 months to 11 years.
