What can I expect from treatment for my moderate-to-severe AD?
Produced in collaboration with Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Support for this patient education program was provided by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Watch this interactive educational presentation designed to help people with atopic dermatitis (AD, also known as eczema) and caregivers.
The expert panel of clinicians, patients, and patient advocates also discusses the challenges patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds encounter on their journey from AD diagnosis to long-term control.
Panelists discuss strategies to overcome those barriers and ensure access to care for AD and its related conditions. Patients and caregivers will be empowered to communicate treatment goals and preferences to their health care team and discuss the possibility of clinical trials as treatment options.
This presentation has the following learning objectives:
- Become involved in finding and accessing care for your eczema
- Understand the importance of people from diverse populations participating in clinical trials to ensure that innovative treatments work for everyone
- Talk with your doctor about the treatment plan for your AD and associated conditions that fits your needs and expectations and maintains long-term control
Among the topics discussed:
- Treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis
- How to tell if treatment is working?
- Managing related type 2 (T2) conditions such as asthma
- What trials for T2 conditions exist
- Community resources
- How patient point of view affects treatment success
This program will also be helpful to anyone wanting to learn about clinical trials for atopic dermatitis.
