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.
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.

In this expert interview video focusing on topics from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses key considerations for disease modification and the importance of early intervention in treating patients with AD.

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.

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.

Join leading dermatologists for educational symposia on atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, and chronic spontaneous urticaria at the EADV congress in Paris, France.
The ADVENT symposium at the 15th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) will focus on discussions around disease modification in atopic dermatitis (AD) in three main topic areas: restoring the skin barrier, reducing non-atopic comorbidities, and stopping the atopic march in pediatric patients with AD aged 6 months to 11 years.
