TARGET AUDIENCE

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of dermatologists, allergists, and other clinicians who treat patients with atopic dermatitis.

PREAMBLE

STATEMENT OF NEED

Atopic dermatitis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease that manifests primarily in the skin, although research has uncovered potentially deleterious effects in other organ systems throughout the body.1,2 The disease-related physical and biopsychosocial burdens of atopic dermatitis can have a substantial effect on patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality of life, particularly in those with moderate-to-severe disease.3,4 A better understanding of atopic dermatitis etiology has supported the development of new approaches to disease characterization and targeted therapies.5,6 As a result, the first biologic therapy is now available to treat patients with moderate-to-severe disease, and several other therapies are in late-stage clinical development.7-10 With novel therapies emerging for patients with difficultto-treat atopic dermatitis, dermatologists will stand to benefit from updates on the latest clinical trial data and practical recommendations on how to translate those results into daily clinical decision-making. In this Evidence-Based Best Practicesâ&#x201E;˘ program, internationally recognized experts will review the latest published evidence with a goal of providing recommendations to enhance overall patient outcomes. The expert faculty panel will discuss the pathophysiologic underpinnings of atopic dermatitis, share best practices related to comprehensive patient evaluations, and relay their own clinical experience in managing patients with moderate-to-severe disease.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• Discuss atopic dermatitis pathophysiology, including clinically relevant molecular and cellular targets • Assess patients with atopic dermatitis longitudinally for uncontrolled symptoms, disease flares, comorbidities, and clinical responses to their current treatment regimens • Describe the clinical profiles of targeted biologic therapies for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis • Optimize treatment regimens for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis to reduce symptomatology, address comorbidities, maximize health-related quality of life, and minimize treatment-related side effects • Educate patients and caregivers to improve their understanding of atopic dermatitis to promote shared decision-making and treatment adherence
