ADVENT Symposia brought global experts together to explore the latest advances in pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD), the shared and unique drivers of AD, prurigo nodularis (PN), and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and the pathology and patient management of PN.

Highlights from the ADVENT symposium at the Inflammatory Skin Disease Summit (ISDS) 2023 exploring the role of type 2 inflammation in atopic dermatitis.

Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.

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.
Experts from different specialties use a case-based discussion to understand type 2 inflammatory diseases from a nurse practitioner perspective.

Dr. Paller discusses factors influencing AD chronicity and comorbidities, focusing on disease severity, early onset, heredity, multiple allergies, and urban living as important in evaluating AD’s lasting effects on children.

Dr. Paller presents highlights from recent clinical studies in AD, which highlight the potential benefits of early and effective AD treatment in modifying disease progression and mitigating atopic comorbidities.

Dr. Chovatiya discusses the neuroinflammatory mechanisms of PN.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga discusses data identifying atopic dermatitis as the first diagnosed atopic disease and the start of the atopic march.

Dr. Paller explores the multifaceted impact of AD, highlighting its association with various comorbidities such as food allergies, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and mental health disorders.

Dr. Chovatiya discusses the impact of pruritus on patients with PN.

Dr. Weidinger discusses the intricate neuroinflammatory mechanisms of chronic pruritic skin disease such as AD and PN.
