Program Overview
This CME program will provide clinicians with an update regarding the safety and efficacy of JAK inhibitor therapeutics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. The expert faculty, led by Dr. Lawrence F. Eichenfield, will first outline current clinical trial data for JAK-1 inhibitor therapeutics in atopic dermatitis (AD), encompassing topics such as difficulties living with AD and the unmet needs for patients. Following, further data regarding JAK inhibitors, and the duality of immunomodulation versus immunosuppression will be presented from the allergist’s perspective, and clinical relevance debated among the panel. To conclude, the faculty will analyze data presented at the American Academy of Dermatology 2022 Annual Meeting in a discussion-based format. Upon completion of this activity, learners will be better equipped to treat and manage their patients with atopic dermatitis.
Target Audience
Dermatologists, allergists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients with atopic dermatitis
Agenda
I. Review of JAK Inhibitor Therapeutics and Analysis of Unmet Needs for Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
II. New and Emerging Data, Including Data Presented at AAD 2022
III. Updating Risk/Benefit Profile, COVID-19 and JAK Inhibitors of New Trial Data & Therapeutics
Learning Objectives
- Review and analyze new and emerging data for advanced therapies to treat patients with atopic dermatitis, including data presented at AAAAI 2022 and AAD 2022
- Apply information from AAAAI 2022 and AAD 2022 to update risk/benefit profiles of JAK inhibitor therapeutics for atopic dermatitis
