Dr. Nicola Hanania explains the vicious cycle of exacerbations and lung function decline observed in COPD.

Join Dr. Hanania to understand how to identify patients at risk of fixed airway obstruction in clinical settings.

Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.

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

Learn how FeNO, a noninvasive biomarker for type 2 inflammation, can be used to optimize care for asthma patients.

Learn how to identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with type 2 inflammation using blood eosinophil (EOS) levels, understand the associated risks, and recognize factors that may influence EOS counts.

Dr. Leonard Bacharier discusses how type 2 inflammation underlies the pathophysiology of pediatric severe asthma and contributes to burden.

Dr. Reynold Panettieri discusses how IL-4 and IL-13 drive airway remodeling in type 2 asthma.

Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she discussed on how type 2 inflammation may lead to airway remodeling in asthma, exploring the pathophysiologic mechanisms, that ultimately lead to structural changes and irreversible loss of lung function

Join Drs. Njira Lugogo, Simon Couillard, and Mario Castro for a session exploring the link between pathogenic mucus and impaired lung function in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and the potential for disease modification with targeted therapy.

In this ADVENT symposium at the 2024 European Respiratory Society conference, Drs. Sharon Dell and Leonard Bacharier discuss the potential domains of on therapy clinical remission in pediatric severe asthma, emphasizing lung function as a key parameter for children.
