What's New in Atopic Dermatitis

The evolving discoveries in atopic dermatitis (AD) shed light on disease pathogenesis and allow better management of patients. Dupiluamab was the first targeted agent approved for AD, proving for the first time AD can be treated with a single cytokine antagonism. Nevertheless, because not all patients respond to dupilumab and AD has a heterogeneous phenotype, more treatment options are much needed. This article reviews recent and exciting developments in AD, because ongoing or pipeline clinical trials for AD will ultimately expand and redefine a novel treatment paradigm for this common disease.
