The Shared Path: Type 2 Inflammation As a Driver of Chronic Itch
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the role of type 2 inflammation in chronic itch across distinct pruritic skin diseases and the cumulative burden of chronic itch and skin lesions in PN.
Decoding Chronic Itch and More in PN: Implications of Real-World Data for Clinical Practice
This symposium highlights type 2 inflammation as a key driver of chronic itch and the characteristic skin lesions of prurigo nodularis and evaluates the real-world implications of targeted therapies on clinical practice.
Cracking the Code: Diagnosing and Managing Skin Diseases With Type 2 Inflammation
This symposium delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. It highlights both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies through a series of engaging panel discussions with Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, Culton, and Hawkes.
Beyond the Visible: The Cumulative Burden of Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Matthias Augustin emphaizes that prurigo nodularis is a chronic systemic disease with a significant and multifaceted burden, encompassing both visible skin manifestations and hidden psychosocial and physical comorbidities.
Decoding the Clinical Puzzle: Navigating Diagnostic Complexity Across Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Dr Sarina Elmariah highlights the clinical challenges in diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases, using prurigo nodularis as a case study. Drs Culton, Eichenfield, and Hawkes then join in to discuss additional challenges and complexities when diagnosing other skin diseases.
Understanding the Full Scope of PN: Lesions, Dyspigmentation, and Patient Burden
Professor Matthias Augustin details the various clinical manifestations of prurigo nodularis, illustrating how different lesion types can present concurrently in patients.
Understanding the Contribution of IL-4 in the Development of Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
Beyond the Skin: Understanding Systemic Comorbidities in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the high prevalence of both atopic and non-atopic comorbidities in patients with PN, including increased risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

ADVENT On-Air Podcast: The Multifaceted Patient Burden and Drivers of Disease in Prurigo Nodularis
In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.
