Examine underlying type 2 inflammation as a driver of airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma.

This video presentation of the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands features Dr. Stephan Weidinger, Dr. Eric Simpson, and Dr. Marjolein de Bruin-Weller. The faculty investigate the inflammatory processes driven by type 2 cytokines that lead to the local and systemic clinical effects of AD, the potential benefits of treating patients with AD early in the disease course, and the emerging real-world data on the use of advanced systemic therapies for patients with AD.
Learn from Prof. Seema Aceves about the interconnectivity of type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction in mediating EoE pathophysiology.
Dr. Jonathan Spergel and Prof. Arjan Bredenoord highlight the importance of different immune cells in type 2 inflammation in EoE.

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.
