Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disease that affects a significant portion of the US population. The current treatment paradigm for AD is complex, involving multiple active drugs tailored to different body parts, stages of the disease, and severity levels, in addition to moisturizers, bathing practices, and lifestyle recommendations. However, the effectiveness of certain available treatment options is limited because of concerns regarding efficacy, tolerability, and safety. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in the treatment of AD, including the approval of the first biologic agent and the ongoing clinical development of targeted therapies. In this activity, a panel of experts discuss the severity of AD across different patient populations, considering the chronic and heterogeneous nature of the disease, and the underlying pathophysiologic processes that contribute to the development of AD. In addition, they explore individualizing treatment for patients with moderate to severe AD, with a goal of minimizing and preventing flares. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Diagnose the severity of AD across different patient populations, considering the chronic and heterogeneous nature of the disease; Describe underlying pathophysiologic processes that contribute to the development of AD, and provide rationale for the use of targeted biologic therapy; and Select appropriate treatment for patients with moderate to severe AD, including biologic agents as appropriate, according to recent clinical evidence and current guidelines, with a goal of minimizing/preventing flares

Michael Levy, MD, PhD - Test Your Knowledge: Are You Missing Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody–Associated Disease (MOGAD)?
Go online to PeerView.com/CTH860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD) was identified as a distinct demyelinating disease entity only recently. Prior to this characterization of MOGAD, many patients were considered to have a variant of MS, NMOSD, or other neurologic condition. Now an international panel of experts has proposed diagnostic criteria that, when validated, promise to improve MOGAD diagnostic accuracy and confidence. This is particularly important, given that several clinical trials are investigating potential treatments for MOGAD. This unique PeerView activity will use problem-based educational interventions to expose learners to the science and clinical experience behind accurate diagnosis and best practices in management of MOGAD. You will be able to employ optimal clinical decision-making for your patients with MOGAD that is based on the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Explain the diagnostic criteria for MOGAD as proposed by the International MOGAD Panel; Employ recommended diagnostic tools (eg, the MOG antibody test, relevant MRI findings) to identify MOGAD and distinguish it from other demyelinating diseases; and Implement therapeutic strategies to provide acute treatment and relapse prevention in patients with MOGAD.
