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.
Join Drs. April Armstrong and Lisa Beck for a conversation around the long-term burden and effects of AD. They will discuss the underlying pathophysiology of AD and how early intervention and disease modification may impact disease course.

Dr. Amy Paller discusses the evolving concepts of early intervention and disease modification in AD and describes potential biomarkers of subclinical control at EADV 2025.
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.

In this highlight video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Dr. Eric Simpson explores potential considerations when discussing the concept of disease modification and how early intervention might be disease modifying in AD.

This video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, features Dr. Eric Simpson discussing the concept of disease modification and the benefits of early intervention when treating patients with AD. Dr. Simpson also reviews available data investigating the impacts of therapies for AD on the disease itself and on associated comorbidities.

Dr Kwatra poses the question: How do we assess disease modification in PN, and can treating early stop tissue damage and worsening of systemic diseases associated with PN?

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.

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.
Experience this engaging presentation by Dr. Donna Culton, Prof. Dédée Murrell, and Prof. Ulrike Raap, who highlight the heterogeneous clinical presentations of BP and its burden, delve beneath the surface into how autoimmunity and predominantly type 2 inflammation mediate the disease, and explore the evolving toolbox of current approaches in BP management.

In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.
