Drs. Shahriari and Bunick discuss the emerging promise of bi- and tri-specific biologics for atopic dermatitis, aiming to bridge the gap between highly targeted biologics and broad JAK inhibitors by more comprehensively blocking key cytokine pathways. They highlight early data, such as with galvokimig, suggesting potentially higher efficacy and the possibility of improved safety and reduced paradoxical side effects, while emphasizing that final positioning in treatment will depend on forthcoming phase 2 and 3 trial results.

Send us Fan MailDermatologist Dr. Michael Bernhardt joins Dr. Mitchell Rothstein to discuss the rapidly changing and improving world of chronic skin condition. The two doctors discuss the correlation between chronic skin conditions and allergies, and the role that inflammation play in both. The docs then dive deep into our inflammation system.This informs the next section of the podcast, where the Drs. Bernhardt and Rothstein talk about the landscape of chronic skin condition medications. They explain that these conditions had poor outcomes and ineffective medicines for decades, and that this picture has only changed in the last 4-5 years with new medications that work from the inside out instead of the outside in. They talk about new generations of medication that target the inflammatory signals themselves inside the body, showing rapid relief to otherwise untreatable conditions. They finish with a brief look at what is coming down the pipeline of clinical trials.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Are you confident diagnosing and managing eczema in patients with skin of colour (SOC)? Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in Australia, yet it often goes unrecognised or is underestimated in patients with SOC. The classic signs we rely on (bright erythema, flexural distribution) may look very different in patients with SOC. The result of this is missed diagnoses, delayed treatment, and real quality-of-life consequences for your patients. This webinar and Q&A with Brisbane-based specialist dermatologist Dr Stephanie Rea takes GPs beyond the textbook to explore how atopic dermatitis truly presents across all skin types. Drawing on relevant clinical cases, Dr Rea shares practical tools to sharpen your diagnostic confidence, navigate the pitfalls, and implement culturally informed management strategies you can put into practice from the very next consultation. Delivered in collaboration with CeraVe, the session teaches you how to: Spot the clinical clues of atopic dermatitis across various skin phototypes Recognise follicular accentuation, papular and discoid variants, and post-inflammatory pigment changes Avoid common diagnostic pitfalls and not-to-miss differentials Understand the role of ceramides and skin barrier repair in this patient population Choose appropriate skin care and prescribe topical and systemic therapies for treating atopic dermatitis in SOC The webinar includes Q&A and case discussions.

What comes first: the obesity or the skin inflammation?  We've got just the expert to help us find out. This week, we're joined by Dr. Ganary Dabiri as she walks us through the relationship of obesity and the skin. Listen in as she discusses skin diseases, how to use "people first" language, and the clinical possibilities of GLP-1 medications. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board-certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence-based research in integrative dermatology. For access to CE/CME courses, become a member at LearnSkin.com. Dr. Ganary Dabiri is double board-certified in Dermatology and in Obesity Medicine. She earned her graduate and medical degree from Albany Medical College. She completed her Dermatology Residency at Roger Williams Medical Center. In 2024 she completed her requirements and obtained board certification in Obesity Medicine. Dr. Dabiri is an adjunct assistant professor at Albany Medical College. She works in private practice in Milford, Massachusetts. In 2024, Dr. Dabiri started the first Skin Inflammation and Obesity Medicine Specialty Clinic in Massachusetts. This comprehensive clinic focuses on and treats patients not only for their chronic inflammatory dermatologic condition such as Psoriasis, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, PCOS, and Atopic Dermatitis but treats their concurrent obesity. Since the inception of this clinic, she has helped numerous patients achieve clearer skin, improve their joint health, but equally if not more importantly - improve their overall health.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-07-2026: Dr. Dawn debunks the 1971 "220 minus age" maximum heart rate formula, noting a 2025 study found individual predictions were off by up to 20 beats per minute. She recommends the Tanaka equation (208 minus age) times 0.7, but emphasizes tracking improvement trends rather than absolute numbers. ConsumerLab testing found Safe Catch Wild Elite Pure Tuna and Wild Ahi Yellowfin Tuna had no detectable mercury, prompting Dr. Dawn to reconsider eating tuna after years of avoidance due to concerns about mercury bioaccumulation and its effects on nerve microtubules. A meta-analysis of 115 studies involving 55,000 men found limiting ejaculation before IVF leads to increased sperm DNA damage and poorer motility. Clinical trials showed 46% IVF pregnancy rates with less than 48 hours abstinence versus 36% with longer periods. A personalized mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer showed striking results: of 16 patients whose tumors were surgically removed, half produced killer T-cells targeting cancer, and seven of those eight remain alive six years later. Pfizer and Valneva's Lyme disease vaccine reduced infection by over 70% in a trial of 9,400 people ages five and up. Nearly half a million Americans contract Lyme annually, and chronic infection can cause nervous system damage and chronic fatigue. Dr. Dawn explores the gray-market peptide ecosystem, where compounds are sold as "research chemicals" with wink-and-nod marketing. A 2018 Belgian study found purity levels ranging from 5% to 99.9%, with some samples containing arsenic, lead, or industrial contaminants. A study of 450 people found that blocking smartphone internet access for two weeks improved sustained attention equivalent to reversing 10 years of age-related cognitive decline, with depression symptom improvements comparable to cognitive behavioral therapy. A multi-country study of 241 unresponsive patients found that 25% showed brain activity indicating consciousness when asked to imagine playing tennis during advanced brain scans. Scientists call this cognitive motor dissociation, and by some estimates tens of thousands of Americans may be misdiagnosed. Chinese researchers grew functional adrenal cortex organoids that responded to pituitary hormones and produced cortisol when transplanted into mice. They also introduced genetic mutations to create organoid models of Cushing's syndrome for drug testing. A Science paper identified the neural pathway connecting psychological stress to eczema flare-ups: sympathetic neurons from the stellate ganglion recruit eosinophils to the skin. Researchers traced the pathway using pseudo-rabies virus injected into skin. Mouse studies showed prenatal stress causes elevated corticosterone in amniotic fluid, which activates fetal mast cells derived from the yolk sac. Offspring develop eczema-like lesions in areas receiving mechanical stimulation, but symptoms resolve around 24 weeks when bone marrow-derived mast cells replace the activated ones. Callers ask about CBN side effects. Dr. Dawn explains cannabinoids prolong anandamide's calming effects by slowing its breakdown, and considers 30-45mg over a night reasonable, but cautions against escalating doses given limited research.

In this episode of The Cutaneous Connection, Dermatology Times revisits a recent video episode of the Derm Dispatch show where host Renata Block, DMSc, MMS, PA-C, sits down with Zachary Rubin, MD — allergist, pediatrician, and New York Times bestselling author of All About Allergies — to explore the intersection of dermatology and allergy. Together, they tackle one of the most persistent myths in practice: that food elimination can treat atopic dermatitis. Dr. Rubin breaks down the difference between IgE-mediated allergic reactions and the complex inflammatory nature of eczema, explains the atopic march, and discusses how understanding the gut-lung-skin axis can empower patients to take charge of their care. The conversation also covers the latest treatment advances — from JAK inhibitors to novel biologics — and touches on indolent systemic mastocytosis and the truth about so-called hypoallergenic dogs. A must-listen for any clinician treating allergic and inflammatory skin disease.For more content, visit https://www.dermatologytimes.com/

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the transformative landscape of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, where scientific innovation, regulatory progression, and strategic adjustments define the industry's current trajectory.A significant spotlight is on Bayer's recent clinical success with Kerendia (finerenone) in treating non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously approved for CKD linked with type 2 diabetes, the positive outcomes from the FIND-CKD study suggest an expanded therapeutic scope for Kerendia. This advancement not only enhances Bayer's foothold in nephrology but provides a potential new treatment avenue for millions suffering from CKD without diabetes, underscoring the urgent global need to address this chronic condition effectively.In parallel, Eli Lilly's promising Phase 3 trial results for Ebglyss, an IL-13 inhibitor intended for atopic dermatitis in children, signal a potential expansion of treatment options for younger patients. Atopic dermatitis can severely impact quality of life, and Lilly's progress illustrates a broader industry commitment to fulfilling unmet medical needs across various patient groups.Turning to regulatory achievements, AstraZeneca's Imfinzi has secured European Union approval for perioperative use in gastric cancer treatment. This development underscores a growing regulatory momentum favoring oncology therapies and highlights an increasing emphasis on perioperative cancer care. Such advancements are crucial as they aim to improve surgical outcomes and enhance long-term survival rates for cancer patients.The industry is also navigating significant challenges as major drug patents approach expiration in 2026. The looming end of exclusivity spells increased competition from generics and presses companies to innovate or optimize mature product portfolios. This situation necessitates strategic agility as firms endeavor to sustain revenue streams amid pricing pressures.In a legal context, Johnson & Johnson has filed a lawsuit against a former oncology employee now associated with Summit Therapeutics, alleging theft of trade secrets. This case highlights the intense competitive nature within biopharma and the critical importance of protecting intellectual property in a fiercely contested market.Meanwhile, Structure Therapeutics has reported compelling phase results for aleniglipron, an oral GLP-1 drug candidate achieving a 16% weight loss efficacy. This positions aleniglipron as a strong player in obesity management innovations, showcasing ongoing advancements in metabolic disease treatment strategies. The drug demonstrated significant weight loss results over 44 weeks in Phase 2 trials, setting the stage for further program launches this year and suggesting potential competition with industry leaders like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly by offering less invasive therapy alternatives.BioMarin's reassessment of its clinical strategies for Voxzogo studies reflects mounting competition in treating achondroplasia. This move illustrates broader industry challenges where companies must balance development priorities against competitive pressures effectively. However, BioMarin has faced setbacks after temporarily halting dosing and enrollment in two studies of its growth-related drug Voxzogo due to safety concerns following hip injury reports. This development emphasizes vigilance in monitoring drug safety profiles during trials within competitive therapeutic areas.Amazon's intriguing entry into healthcare with its AI health agent marks a potential revolution in patient engagement by delivering personalized health insights and enhancing access to healthcare professionals.

Monoclonal antibodies are becoming an important tool in veterinary dermatology — but what are they, and how do they actually work?In this episode, we break down monoclonal antibody therapy in practical terms. We explain how these targeted treatments are designed to recognize and block specific molecules in the immune system, helping reduce itch in allergic dogs without broadly suppressing immunity.We discuss commonly used products like Cytopoint which targets IL-31, a key cytokine involved in pruritus. We also introduce the announcement of an upcoming (not yet released) product called Befrena, another monoclonal antibody therapy, and what we know about this therapy today.00:00 – Intro02:07 – What is a Monoclonal Antibody03:18 – Cytopoint Basics05:35 – Potential Side-Effects06:33 – Befrena Basics08:44 – Overview09:22 – Outro

Send me a question or story!Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have become a cornerstone in managing pruritic and allergic skin disease in dogs by targeting the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which transmits itch and inflammatory cytokine signals. With so many medications hitting the market, it is important to understand the differences between all of the different JAK inhibitors in veterinary medicine.Apoquel (oclacitinib) has been in the veterinary field the longest with over a decade of use. However, Zenrelia (ilunocitinib) has been available in many countries for over a year. Additionally, Numelvi (atinvicitinib) has recently become available in Europe and will hit the market in the United States very soon (with others to follow). Learn about the differences in these medications and why it is important to become comfortable with all of them on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:35 JAK Inhibitor Basics02:35 What are JAK Receptors03:31 Apoquel and Zenrelia 05:20 Numelvi 07:57 How To Tell If a Pet Is Atopic 09:12 Are JAK Inhibitors Safe with Neoplasia11:32 What Does JAK Selectivity Mean 13:47 Common Side-Effects of JAK Inhibitors 17:01 Using JAK Inhibitors Off-Label18:51 Outro

Unlike a simple infection with a clear-cut cure, canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is an inflammatory, chronic condition with complex causes. Treating it with a one-size-fits-all approach is like trying to put a Yorkshire terrier's sweater on a Great Dane—it will not work. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, discover the nuances in treating atopic dermatitis and finding the best fit for the individual patient. We explore how to alleviate pruritus while ruling out pruritic diseases that mimic atopy. Join us as we go from syndrome to solution in providing relief for your patients with CAD.

For primary care providers, seeing a patient presenting with atopic dermatitis (eczema) is common, yet misconceptions persist regarding its underlying cause and optimal management. This episode tackles the critical clinical dilemma: when and how should specific IgE testing for food and environmental allergens shape routine eczema care? Key topics include the evolution of pathophysiology—shifting focus from allergy-driven disease to barrier dysfunction and type 2 inflammation—plus risk stratification, differential diagnosis, the role and interpretation of specific IgE tests, evidence-based guideline updates, environmental and food allergen impacts, targeted therapeutics, and practical patient counseling. Special attention is given to environmental triggers such as dust mites and pet dander and structured elimination diets. Clinicians will gain actionable insights on refining diagnostic workups, individualizing treatment plans, and supporting long-term disease control in pediatric and adult eczema populations.

Episode 205: Atopic Dermatitis Kara Willbanks (medical student) explains the definition, pathophysiology, and treatment of eczema. Dr. Arreaza adds some input about bleach baths and topical steroids. Written by Kara Willbanks, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.October is the Eczema Awareness Month!What Is Atopic Dermatitis? Atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema, is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that often begins in childhood but can affect people of all ages. Other eczematous dermatoses include seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, juvenile plantar dermatosis, and stasis dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in the developed world, typically affecting up to 20% of children and 5-10% of adults. Patients usually present with severe pruritus (itchiness) and dry, inflamed patches of skin. Common sites include the face and extensor surfaces in infants, and flexural areas — like the elbows and knees — in older children and adults. Atopic dermatitis is often associated with other allergic conditions like asthma and allergic rhinitis — what we call the “atopic triad.” These conditions should also be considered when diagnosing someone with atopic dermatitis. PathophysiologyAtopic dermatitis is believed to occur due to a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. A major component is a defective skin barrier, often linked to mutations in the filaggrin gene. This allows irritants, allergens, and microbes to penetrate the skin more easily, triggering inflammation.Differential DiagnosisAtopic dermatitis can sometimes mimic other skin conditions, so it's important to keep a differential in mind: -Contact dermatitis – triggered by allergens or irritants; often limited to the area of exposure but also tends to be very itchy. -Seborrheic dermatitis – greasy scales, typically on the scalp, eyebrows, and nasolabial folds -Psoriasis – well-demarcated plaques with silvery scales; sometimes found in similar areas of the body as eczema. -Tinea (fungal infections) – ring-shaped lesions with active, scaly borders -Important to note that treatment of tinea with topical steroids can make the rash much worse. -Scabies – intense itching, especially at night, with burrows between fingers. Ruling out these conditions helps guide the right treatment and prevent chronic mismanagement. As a recap our main differential diagnosis: contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, tinea, and scabies.The treatment cornerstone: Moisturizers The most important daily treatment for atopic dermatitis is regular moisturizing. Moisturizers repair the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and protect against irritants. They should be applied at least twice daily, ideally right after bathing while the skin is still damp (within 3 minutes is most ideal). Use greasy ointments or thick creams rather than lotions — think products with ceramides or glycerin (hydrates and protects skin). It is best to choose ointments or creams without additives, perfumes or fragrances. Greasier ointments are the preferred vessel; however, patient compliance may be less as they may be unpleasant to some.Bleach Baths For patients with frequent skin infections or severe eczema, dilute bleach baths can be a game-changer. How to do it? Use ¼ to ½ cup of household bleach in a full standard bathtub of water (about 40 gallons) and soak for 10 minutes, twice a week. This helps reduce bacterial colonization — particularly Staphylococcus aureus — which commonly worsens eczema. After the bath, pat the skin dry and immediately apply a moisturizer (within 3 minutes). Bleach baths are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Dermatology as an adjunctive treatment for atopic dermatitis, especially in patients with moderate to severe disease and frequent bacterial infections, but the evidence for their efficacy is mixed, and further well-designed studies are needed.Medical Treatments-Topical corticosteroids: When moisturizers alone aren't enough, we move to anti-inflammatory therapy. Topical corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for flares. Some studies suggest that a short burst of a high-potency topical corticosteroid to rapidly control active disease, followed by a quick taper in potency, is most effective, whereas others use the lowest-potency agent thought to be needed and adjust upward only if this fails. Common steroids used are hydrocortisone (low potency), triamcinolone (medium potency), or betamethasone (high potency). -High-potency steroids should never be applied to sensitive skin like the face. With short-term use of lower-potency steroids, there is a low likelihood of skin atrophy but use for more than 6 months is linked with greater levels of skin thinning -Wet wrap therapy: Wet wrap therapy improves absorption of topic steroid. Apply a topical steroid, then layer a wet dressing and then a dry dressing over the top of that. This can be beneficial in providing  both relief of symptoms and prevention of itching. In pediatric patients it is called “daddy's socks therapy” because large socks may be used to cover the arms of kids.-Topical calcineurin inhibitors — like tacrolimus — are great alternatives for sensitive areas or for maintenance once inflammation is under control. They may burn upon application which can scare patients away from their use.-PO antihistamines can help with itching, especially at night, but they don't treat inflammation itself.-Systemic therapies, like dupilumab (Dupixent®), an IL-4 receptor antagonist, are reserved for moderate to severe cases unresponsive to topical therapy. This is a great time to refer to your local dermatologist for management! Many of the newer treatments are highly effective but can require more frequent monitoring.Recent Research One recent study is the 2024 Cochrane network meta-analysis comparing effectiveness of topical anti-inflammatory treatments for eczema that was recently published in the AFP Journal in July of 2025.Here are the highlights:-Over 291 RCTs with ~45,846 participants were included. -The analysis ranked potent topical corticosteroids, JAK inhibitors (for example ruxolitinib (Opzelura® 1.5 %), and tacrolimus 0.1 % among the most effective for reducing signs and symptoms of eczema. -In contrast, PDE-4 inhibitors [like crisaborole (Eucrisa®) 2 %] were among the least effective in this comparison. -Regarding side effects: tacrolimus and crisaborole were more likely to cause burning or stinging at the application site; corticosteroids were less likely in the short term to cause local irritation.-Long-term outcomes regarding effectiveness or safety of treatments for eczema were not addressed by the review because they are rarely reported.”-Another insight from this study is considering cost when initiating treatment. Most topical steroids are significantly more cost effective than JAK inhibitors or calcineurin inhibitors so it may be best to start with a cheaper solution in an uninsured patient considering their relative effectiveness. Additional Tips & Lifestyle -Keep baths and showers short and in lukewarm water.-Avoid harsh soaps and detergents — use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.-Wear soft cotton clothing instead of wool or synthetics.-Identify and avoid triggers — common ones include stress, sweating, allergens, and certain foods (especially in kids).-Ice packs can help reduce itching and relieve any burning sensation.-Keep fingernails short, especially in children, help cause less trauma to the skin from repeated itching. Living with eczema Many celebrities like Kerry Washington, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Rowland, Brad Pitt and Kristen Bell have spoken out about their lives with eczema. They have shared personal stories about how they were diagnosed, what treatment works for them, and the general impact it has had on their lives and mental health. I feel like it can be so important for celebrities to speak out about their lives with certain conditions because it helps to normalize the condition, raise awareness of the struggles, and encourages more open dialogue.It is important to remember that for patients living with eczema, the persistent itch-scratch cycle can be very distressing, causing patients to struggle with their sleep and day-to-day activities. Anxiety and depression are common in patients with eczema so as physicians it is vital to monitor for signs of distress. Support groups can be incredibly helpful for patients [National Eczema Association]If you are interested in providing additional information to your patients or getting this for yourself, you can find more resources on altogethereczema.org or nationaleczema.org. Key Takeaways Atopic dermatitis is chronic but manageable. Moisturizers are the foundation of treatment. Topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors control inflammation. Bleach baths help reduce bacterial load and flare severity. Always rule out other skin conditions to ensure appropriate management. Atopic dermatitis can be managed by the primary care physician but in certain cases (cases refractory to standard topical treatment, recurrent infections, etc.), a referral to dermatology can be especially helpful.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.
