How Biologic Therapy May Lead to Disease Modification in Infants and Children with Atopic Dermatitis
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.
Can early intervention modify the course of AD?
Dr. Amy Paller emphasizes that early intervention in children can alter disease progression. Depending on the severity, this can be achieved with topical interventions or systemic therapies.
Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson goes on to explore how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the potential importance of early and effective therapeutic intervention to alter disease progression
Current systemic therapies have been shown to induce remission in a subset of AD patients
Dr. Ramien discusses evidence suggesting early targeted inhibition in pediatric patients may prevent disease progression or lead to remission.
Can Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps be Considered in Remission if the Patient has an Impaired Sense of Smell?
Dr. Backer discusses assessing remission in CRSwNP by evaluating the patient's sense of smell in this video clip from the EAACI 2024 symposium.
The Benefits of Early Intervention in AD: More Than Skin Deep
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.
