PROGRAM OVERVIEW
It’s estimated that 30% of the approximately 9.6 million American children with atopic dermatitis (AD) suffer from moderate to severe disease. “Suffer” is the operative word, as the disease has a wide range of deleterious effects, including unrelenting itch and sleep disturbance. When suboptimally treated, this can lead to learning disabilities and behavioral disorders resulting in long-term impact on education and psychosocial health. However, medical science is rapidly unraveling the pathogenic molecular drivers of this disease and a variety of targeted treatments have recently been approved to treat children, adolescents, and even infants with moderate to severe AD.
Join pediatric AD experts Dr. Peter Lio and Dr. Robert Sidbury as they discuss the burden of disease of moderate to severe AD and review new and emerging therapies to treat even the youngest patients with AD.
