Prof. Thomas Bieber explores early intervention and disease modification in atopic dermatitis.
Join Professors Jean-David Bouaziz, Amy Paller, and Alan Irvine for a dynamic presentation on the multifaceted burden of atopic dermatitis, the evolving concept of disease modification, and how targeted systemic therapies may help improve long-term patient outcomes.

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.
Professors Bouaziz, Paller, and Irvine discuss the clinical burden of atopic dermatitis, the biomarkers of subclinical control, and evidence of potential disease modification in AD at EADV 2025.
Join Professors Brusselle and Backer as they discuss the concept of disease modification in asthma.

Dr. Amy Paller discusses the evolving concepts of early intervention and disease modification in AD and describes potential biomarkers of subclinical control at EADV 2025.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares reviews the cellular and molecular pathways underlying atopic dermatitis and considers which biomarkers may one day serve as robust measures of disease modification, despite no validated options currently being available.
Professors Celeste Porsbjerg and Klaus Rabe and Dr Mario Castro discuss disease modification in severe asthma, including what disease modification is, how it can be identified, and how the advent of biologics may bring about disease modification.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Eric Simpson explains how both clinical and subclinical disease control are critical for achieving true disease modification in atopic dermatitis, emphasizing the role of biomarkers in predicting long-term outcomes and guiding treatment decisions.
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 May 2024 ADVENT symposium at ESPD’s Annual Meeting in Košice, Slovakia, Dr. Amy Paller discusses the benefits of early intervention for children with AD and the potential for disease modification.
