Prurigo nodularis (PN) causes intensely itchy, painful bumps leading to scratching, bleeding, and thickening of the nodules, with negative effects on sleep, mental health, activities of daily living, social interaction, and quality of life. There are no approved treatments for PN, but several agents in late-stage clinical trials offer hope to patients with this burdensome disease. At a recent live PeerView MasterClass & Practicum, a panel of PN experts offered evidence-based, practical guidance on current diagnostic and treatment strategies and the latest clinical data regarding novel therapies. The discussion was enhanced by a 3D animation depicting PN pathophysiology and patient videos providing perspectives on the burdens of disease and treatment experience. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize how the signs and symptoms of prurigo nodularis (PN) impact patient quality of life; Explain how type 2 inflammation may play a role in the pathophysiology of PN; Describe current and emerging treatment options for PN in the context of mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety; and Develop individualized treatment plans for PN using currently available therapies and appropriately incorporating novel agents as they become available.

Asthma is a common, chronic, and heterogeneous disease that can result in poor quality of life and severe, life-threatening exacerbations despite standard controller therapy. Type 2 inflammation, mediated by cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, occurs in about 50% of patients with asthma and has emerged as a unifying feature of classically defined allergic diseases and a range of other inflammatory diseases. In this activity, an expert explains the advances in understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma and the targeted treatments that have been developed as a result. You will hear expert insights into the use of available and emerging biologic therapies, including how to identify children and adults who may be eligible for these therapies. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify patients who would likely benefit from targeted therapy, considering the relationship between type 2 inflammation, moderate to severe asthma, and comorbid conditions such as atopic dermatitis; Incorporate evidence-based and guideline-directed treatment for pediatric and adult patients with moderate to severe asthma into customized management plans; and Use techniques to educate and communicate with patients and caregivers to engage them in care and improve adherence to individualized treatment plans.

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is a long-term respiratory condition with a significant impact on quality of life, morbidity, mortality, and use of healthcare resources. The disease manifests as chronic airway inflammation, impaired mucociliary clearance, and structural lung damage leading to recurrent infections, persistent cough, sputum production, and exacerbations. The prevalence of bronchiectasis has been on the rise. Evolving insights into the pathophysiology of bronchiectasis have led to the development of novel and emerging agents to address the underlying inflammation, with the potential of changing the treatment landscape. In this animated activity, you will learn how to optimize clinical decision-making for patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis 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: Apply current guideline recommendations to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with bronchiectasis, with a goal of identifying and treating underlying causes; Describe the underlying mechanisms believed to contribute to inflammation in non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and their correlation to emerging treatments; Assess recent clinical trial data concerning efficacy and safety of novel and emerging treatment options for non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis; and Develop strategies for preventing and treating exacerbations (eg, airway clearance, use of antibiotics, corticosteroids) in patients with non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis based on the latest expert recommendations using a personalized approach.
