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.

Dr. Stephanie Christenson discusses the association between COPD exacerbations and the increased risks of morbidity and mortality

Dr. Mario Castro discusses how COPD exacerbations can predict future exacerbations and lead to progressive lung function loss in COPD patients.

Join experts G. Walter Canonica, Vibeke Backer, and Joaquim Mullol for an educational symposium on elevating treatment goals from control to remission in the upper and lower airways.

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.

Inflammatory processes drive AD both within and beyond the skin, leading to significant, cumulative life impacts. Early intervention has the potential to mitigate these impacts by altering the disease course.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explores the histaminergic and nonhistaminergic mechanisms of itch, highlighting how type 2 cytokines like IL-4 serve as central orchestrators of neuronal sensitization and immune–nervous system cross-talk.
Prof. Vibeke Backer provides an insightful presentation on the association of type 2 inflammation and the pathogenesis and management of severe and uncontrolled CRSwNP.

In this educational presentation, Profs. Vibeke Backer and Sietze Reitsma cover key aspects of type 2 inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP and practical strategies for optimizing disease control and improving patient outcomes.

Professor Lisa Beck explores the chronic and persistent burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) as well as the concept of early intervention in patients with AD.

Exploring the role of type 2 inflammation and the neuroimmune axis in CSU, and how emerging therapeutics are targeting key molecules in these pathways.

In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.
