Improving the Treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: What Does the Future Hold?
Program Overview
In this activity, a panel of experts discuss the current guideline-recommended treatment approach to chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), with a focus on treatment of patients with refractory disease requiring third-line therapy. The panel will also discuss advances in understanding the pathogenesis of disease, the role of type 2 inflammation, and emerging therapies.
This activity is intended for dermatologist and allergy/immunologist clinicians (MD/DO/NP/PA) who treat patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Employ current management approaches for patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU)
Identify elements of type 2 inflammation that play a role in CSU pathogenesis that may be amenable to treatment
Assess current safety and efficacy data on emerging therapies for the treatment of CSU
