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.

Dr Kwatra poses the question: How do we assess disease modification in PN, and can treating early stop tissue damage and worsening of systemic diseases associated with PN?

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.

This symposium illustrated the ways type 2inflammation contributes to atopic dermatitis (AD) disease pathogenesis within and beyond the skin, discussed the importance of early intervention in children with AD, and explored the potential for disease modification. The program concluded with a review of the latest clinical and real-world data on advanced systemic treatments for children 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.
Listen to the latest updates in type 2 inflammatory science and associated skin diseases, brought to you by leading dermatology experts in the field. ADVENT On Air podcasts feature scientific conversations that explore new research into the pathophysiology, clinical features, and disease burden for a range of dermatological diseases linked to type 2 inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN).

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.
