Examine underlying type 2 inflammation as a driver of airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma.

Join Dr. Shawn Kwatra in discussing the diverse clinical presentations of PN and the role of type 2 inflammation in disease pathogenesis.

ADVENT Symposia brought global experts together to explore the latest advances in pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD), the shared and unique drivers of AD, prurigo nodularis (PN), and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and the pathology and patient management of PN.

New expert presentations from the 2023 ADVENT FORUM, Dermatology section, where the global faculty discuss itch as the common thread in dermatological type 2 inflammation, the evolving concept of disease modification in atopic dermatitis, and the latest updates in prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

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.

Inflammatory processes drive AD both within and beyond the skin, leading to significant, cumulative life impacts. Early intervention has the potential to mitigate these impacts by altering the disease course.
