Importance of Achieving Disease Control in Adults With Moderate-to-Severe AD
Importance of Achieving Disease Control in Adults With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis
Eric Simpson, MD, MCR

This video features Dr. Eric Simpson's presentation on the importance of achieving disease control in adults with moderate-to-severe AD. Dr. Simpson discusses how adult patients and HCPs talk about disease control and the tools available to help define it. He also explores the roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in the pathophysiology of AD, including how both cytokines promote inflammation and, in turn, contribute to the cumulative burden of the disease. The video concludes with a brief panel discussion.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the important treatment goal of disease control and how it may minimize disease impact
  • Explore how IL-4 and IL-13 play key roles in the signs and symptoms of AD and contribute to the cumulative burdens that develop over time when the disease is uncontrolled
The Benefits of Early Intervention in AD: More Than Skin Deep
