Join experts Jonathan Spergel, MD, PhD, Wanda Phipatanakul, MD, MS, and Jerry Ellen Schonfeld, CPNP, at an educational symposium as they investigate the role of type 2 inflammation in pediatric diseases. The speakers will also discuss the difficulties in diagnosis and burdens patients and their families face.

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.

Type 2 inflammation contributes to many dermatologic diseases, which may lead to potentially life-changing burdens and challenges to patients and caregivers. By uncovering the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP, we can move forward in our understanding of each disease. Join global experts for an educational symposium on March 8th that will uncover the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP and explore questions driving current research in each disease.

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.
