In this ADVENT symposium at the 2024 EADV meeting, Professor Enno Schmidt discusses the pathophysiology of BP, focusing on autoimmunity and the role of type 2 inflammation.
Dr Lawrence Eichenfield explores the broadening of treatment goals for long-term disease control, highlighting the importance of this approach in atopic dermatitis. Drs Culton, Elmariah, and Hawkes expand the discussion to further examine specific management goals unique to each skin disease (bullous pemphigoid, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria).
In this ADVENT symposium at the 2024 EADV meeting, Professor Joost Meijer highlights the heterogeneous nature of BP and the resultant burden for patients.
Join leading dermatologists for educational symposia on atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, and chronic spontaneous urticaria at the EADV congress in Paris, France.

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.

Highlights from the ADVENT educational symposium at EADV 2024 discussing the current understanding of the science and treatment landscape in bullous pemphigoid (BP).
Follow Janet, a hypothetical patient, as she navigates the difficult journey of bullous pemphigoid, starting with symptom onset to diagnosis.
This 2-hour educational program delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, bullous pemphigoid, and chronic spontaneous urticaria. It will highlight both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies. Experts will guide the audience through diverse patient cases to illuminate diagnostic nuances and the pathophysiology of each condition. These cases will also highlight the importance of shared decision-making and the broadening of treatment goals beyond symptom control. Dynamic panel discussion and active audience participation will be facilitated through real-time polling and curated Q&A sessions.
This symposium delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. It highlights both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies through a series of engaging panel discussions with Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, Culton, and Hawkes.
Dr Donna Culton walks through the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation in inflammatory skin diseases, using bullous pemphigoid as an example. Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, and Hawkes join to discuss the role of type 2 inflammation across atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, respectively.
