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
