In this episode of Derms and Conditions, Dr James Q. Del Rosso welcomes back his longtime friend and pediatric dermatology expert, Dr Lisa Swanson. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving treatment landscape for pediatric atopic dermatitis, with a focus on newly approved non-steroidal topical therapies. Dr Swanson shares her insights on tapinarof 1% cream, now FDA-approved for patients as young as two years old, and topical roflumilast 0.15% cream, approved down to age six. The duo discusses how aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonism makes tapinarof effective in both atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, likening its action to a “SNOO” that adjusts to soothe inflammation. They also dive into data from the ADORING 1 and ADORING 2 phase 3 trials, highlighting tapinarof's rapid reduction in itch and its positive impact on sleep—critical outcomes for both children and their parents. Dr Swanson offers real-world anecdotes about the sleep-depriving toll of pediatric eczema and how effective therapies can restore rest for the entire family. The conversation touches on skin of color considerations, including how atopic dermatitis may present differently and why diverse representation in clinical trials is essential. Dr Swanson underscores the importance of tactile assessments and shares practical pearls for evaluating eczema severity across skin types. Finally, they explore safety and tolerability, emphasizing tapinarof's low risk of systemic absorption, even in young children prone to thumb-sucking or hand-to-mouth behavior. Tune in for clinical pearls, new treatment insights, and a few laughs between two dermatology BFFs.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes E. James Song, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Frontier Dermatology, to explore the nuances of systemic therapy selection for atopic dermatitis (AD) and offer practical guidance on tailoring treatment plans to optimize outcomes for these patients. They begin by discussing the importance of considering patient-specific factors, such as contraindications, access, and age, when selecting among the 3 currently available biologics for AD: dupilumab, tralokinumab, and lebrikizumab. While these therapies share many similarities, nuanced differences—such as dupilumab's approval for younger patients and asthma comorbidity, or lebrikizumab's sustained efficacy after discontinuation—can guide treatment decisions. They also discuss adverse events, including conjunctivitis and dupilumab-associated facial erythema, highlighting strategies for managing these issues. Dr Song notes that switching within the IL-13 pathway can often resolve conjunctivitis and speculates on the possible mechanisms behind facial redness. They then explore one critical insight: the potential for patients to fail one biologic and still respond to another within the same class. While complete nonresponders may benefit from switching to a different class, such as JAK inhibitors, partial responders often do well with another IL-13 inhibitor. Tune in to the full episode to explore more insights on optimizing AD management, including how to navigate biologic options, manage adverse events, and approach challenging cases while embracing new therapies and tailoring care to each patient's unique needs.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, invites Peter Lio, MD, a clinical professor of dermatology at Northwestern University, to explore the complexities of selecting therapies for atopic dermatitis (AD) with a particular focus on the newly approved IL-13 inhibitor, lebrikizumab. With a growing number of treatment options, Dr Lio and Dr Del Rosso examine how these therapies are enhancing patient management in unique ways. The discussion opens with a look at the current "embarrassment of riches" in AD treatments. Dermatologists now have multiple biologic options to choose from, each with distinct features. Dr Lio highlights lebrikizumab's flexible dosing, which can shift to once monthly after the initial treatment period, potentially offering patients a more manageable treatment routine. They also explore key differences among IL-13 inhibitors, such as lebrikizumab's unique binding characteristics that may influence the overall balance of IL-13 in the body. Dr Lio also notes the possibility of achieving relative remission for certain patients on lebrikizumab, as suggested by a long-term extension study where some patients maintained improvement even after stopping the drug. They also cover the safety and tolerability aspects of AD therapies, including conjunctivitis, arthropathy, and erythematous reactions sometimes seen with these drugs. Dr Lio shares insights on managing these side effects, emphasizing that despite similar mechanisms of action, switching between IL-13 inhibitors may alleviate adverse reactions for certain patients. Tune in to the full episode for expert insights on differentiating and integrating the latest therapies for AD, strategies for engaging patients in their treatment plans, and valuable guidance on navigating today's expanding therapeutic landscape.

Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Mona Shahriari, MD, associate director of clinical trials at Central CT Dermatology and assistant clinical professor at Yale University, to discuss the recent FDA approval of lebrikizumab, approved for atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients 12 years of age and up who have failed topical treatments like corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors, and its potential impact on treatment strategies. They begin by explaining the drug's flexibility, with an initial loading dose followed by maintenance dosing that can be extended to once a month for patients who achieve a satisfactory response after 16 weeks. Dr Shahriari emphasizes that determining an adequate response involves more than skin clearance; persistent symptoms like itchiness can indicate the need to continue more frequent dosing. They then discuss how many patients maintained their treatment response even after tapering dosing, with some experiencing benefits through week 52, suggesting a durable effect even when the treatment was paused. When discussing real-world use, Dr Shahriari notes lebrikizumab's convenience for both patients and providers, as it does not require baseline or ongoing lab monitoring and has no drug-drug interactions. Addressing safety, Dr. Shahriari notes that while common side effects like conjunctivitis and injection site reactions were observed, the drug was generally well-tolerated without any major safety concerns. They conclude by reflecting on the heterogeneity of AD, noting that patients may respond differently to medications even within the same class and that it's important to have multiple options to personalize treatment for each patient. Tune in to the full episode to hear more about lebrikizumab's clinical performance and the growing toolbox for AD management that is allowing dermatologists to offer safer, more targeted treatments that greatly improve patients' quality of life.
In episode eight of Getting to Know Your Research, Dr. Wenelia Baghoomian discusses her 2021 PeDRA Research Fellowship project titled The Impact of Topical Prescription Drug Delivery Devices in the Adherence and Ease of Use of Corticosteroids in Pediatric Patients with Atopic Dermatitis. Listen to learn about the inspiration for this project and the partnerships that made it successful.
Atopic dermatitis is the single most common chronic condition in the world, but it's also the most misunderstood and mistreated. People who struggle with it endure years of discomfort, a drop in their quality of life, a revolving door of doctors, reams of blood tests and a multitude of treatments. These treatments often focus on food and finding out what they can stop eating to get better. Though this is well-intentioned advice, it is misguided. The food you eat isn't the root cause of eczema. Growing data show that eczema is what causes food allergies. This changes everything about how eczema is treated, and also how to prevent it in infants. For high-risk babies, early and frequent exposure to food can significantly reduce the chance of atopic dermatitis and potentially set them up for an allergy-free life. In this episode, I'm joined by the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy, Dr. Stuart Carr. He shares the truth about atopic dermatitis, and why there are more treatment options on the table other than avoiding certain foods and hoping for the best. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Sensitization vs. true allergy Food sensitivity and allergy are two very different things that often get mixed up. How do doctors determine if you're allergic to something? -The right way to restrict your diet Many people use elimination diets to try and combat allergies. How do you do this without actually increasing your chance of allergy? -Early and often exposure is key Parents of infants prone to eczema often delay the introduction of certain foods, could this actually make the likelihood of allergy higher? -Food in mouth, but not on skin Atopic dermatitis patients think eating certain foods will trigger a reaction. What actually triggers a reaction? Guest Bio Dr. Carr has been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, having spent the previous 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada. He was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta, and is also a Past-President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and a reviewer for Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, the journal of the CSACI. His primary interests are pediatric asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis, and Dr. Carr is currently involved in a Canada-wide collaboration examining the safety and effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergies in preschool children.

Are you curious about how biologic medications are transforming the treatment of asthma, eczema, allergies, and more? Dr. Perdita Permaul joins Dr. Gupta and Kortney to discuss the available biologic medications for allergic conditions. We walk through the eight biologics currently available for allergic diseases, explaining how these medications target different parts of the immune system to treat allergic conditions more effectively than traditional medications. Dr. Permaul explains how biologics have evolved since 2003 and how they are changing the way allergic conditions are treated. She also explains why some of the biologics treat multiple diseases, whereas some are only approved for one. What we cover in our episode about the available biologics for allergic conditions How biologics work for allergic conditions: We unpack how biologic medications target specific parts of the immune system, reducing inflammation and improving the quality of life for patients with allergic diseases. History and evolution of biologics: Dr. Permaul walks us through the timeline of biologics, starting with Xolair in 2003 and how these treatments have expanded to target other conditions over time. Which biologics treat which conditions: From asthma and eczema to food allergies and nasal polyps, we break down which biologics are available and how they help patients with allergic conditions. Future of biologics: Dr. Permaul discusses the potential of biologics to be used for more conditions in the future, including ongoing research into food allergy treatments.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Del Rosso, DO, speaks with Mark Lebwohl, MD, Dean for Clinical Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, about the role of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, particularly upadacitinib, in treating atopic dermatitis. They provide insights into the benefits of JAK inhibitors compared to monoclonal antibodies, patient selection, and the implications of recent clinical data. They begin by explaining that while monoclonal antibodies like dupilumab and tralokinumab have been effective for many patients, JAK inhibitors can offer a powerful alternative for those seeking better control of their symptoms. They emphasize the importance of regularly assessing patient satisfaction with their treatment and exploring whether a switch to a JAK inhibitor might be beneficial. Dr Lebwohl then refers to treat-to-target principles recently established by a consensus conference, where EASI 75 is a moderate goal and EASI 90 is optimal. JAK inhibitors, he suggests, are more likely to help patients reach these higher targets, especially when symptoms persist despite achieving EASI 75. They continue to discuss data demonstrating that upadacitinib significantly improves outcomes, with 40.8% of patients achieving EASI 90 compared to 22.5% with dupilumab. Additionally, upadacitinib-treated patients are more likely to report minimal impact on their quality of life as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index. Finally, Dr Lebwohl stresses the importance of discussing the risks associated with JAK inhibitors, including boxed warnings, in a clear and contextualized manner to help patients make informed decisions. Tune in to the full episode to gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of JAK inhibitors in AD treatment, including practical tips for patient management, insights into the latest clinical data, and optimizing patient care.

If you're suffering from atopic dermatitis, the condition isn't just skin deep. Every itch can cascade into a world of discomfort and pain. Every flare up is an interruption to your quality of life, and every scar can leave you feeling less confident. This is a reality millions live in, and often it leads to anxiety and depression, which can exacerbate the skin irritation further. That's why the condition has to be treated holistically. It's not just about dealing with itchy and inflamed skin. It's about addressing all the ways it affects someone's entire life. The good news is, we're living in the golden age of atopic dermatitis therapies, and people can get what they need to manage the condition and put it into remission. What causes atopic dermatitis? How can we use lifestyle factors to manage it better? Why is it critical for physicians to understand the different manifestations of skin conditions in different skin colors? In this episode, I'm joined by board-certified dermatologist and founder of Above & Beyond Dermatology, Dr. Stephen Lewellis. We talk about how to improve your quality of life if you're dealing with atopic dermatitis, and all the interventions and solutions that are available. If you have a higher risk of atopic dermatitis, stress, irritants and changes in weather are all factors that raise the score of it expressing on your skin. If we can lower the morbidity threshold, that can manage the condition. -Dr. Stephen Lewellis Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The root cause of atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is the most common skin disease in the world. What makes someone more prone to it and what triggers flare ups? -Remission not cure In oncology, we talk about getting cancer into remission. Could changing our language on atopic dermatitis to management serve people better than talking about a cure? -Don't sound like a textbook Physicians have to get better at talking about atopic dermatitis so that they educate patients and provide solutions.
