Dr. Hawkes highlights how Chronic Urticaria is a mast cell centric disease with moderate levels of spontaneous remission in patients.

Join Drs. Michihiro Hide, Marta Ferrrer, and Ana M. Giménez-Arnau as they discuss chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and highlight the unmet needs, treatment challenges, and emerging therapies.

The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.
Join allergist Dr. Nicole Chase and dermatologist Dr. Jason Hawkes as they dispel common myths in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). They offer practical, empathetic strategies to move beyond unnecessary diagnostics and delays, focusing instead on urgent treatment escalation and effective management to reduce the profound burden of uncontrolled CSU on patients.
This is the full presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida, presenting the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
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.

Dive into the complex pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), where mast cell degranulation drives the hallmark signs and symptoms. This interactive infographic elucidates how key type 2 cytokines, specifically IL-4 and IL-13, contribute to mast cell activation, immune cell trafficking into the skin, and neuronal sensitization in CSU, which ultimately leads to the release of mediators like histamine that cause wheals, angioedema, and itch.

This full video presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida features Dr. Eric Simpson, Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Dr. Jason Hawkes and Dr. Victoria Werth. The faculty present the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
