Reclaiming Treatment Success in Atopic Dermatitis:Patients Matter Most In the evolving landscape of atopic dermatitis (AD) therapeutics, we are witnessing a striking paradox: never have so many therapies been available, yet patient dissatisfaction remains high. Why? Because the metrics guiding clinical trials and regulatory approvals often diverge sharply from what patients truly value. A rigid […]

The ISAD supports GADA’s initiative to collect global epidemiological data using appropriate instruments, which are not always readily available. This real-world data initiative should be encouraged, particularly given the significant information gaps in countries and regions with limited medical infrastructure. If you are interested in participating, please visit https://qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/ On behalf of the Global Atopic […]

Different faces, shared targets: the curious convergence of AD, AA, and vitiligo In the evolving landscape of dermatology and clinical immunology, a compelling paradox is emerging: three phenotypically distinct conditions—atopic dermatitis (AD), alopecia areata (AA), and vitiligo—are increasingly found to share overlapping immunological features and respond to similar targeted therapies. Historically, the connections among these […]
