Emerging Systemic Therapeutic Biologics and Small Molecules for Atopic Dermatitis: How to Decide Which Treatment Is Right for Your Patients

The evolving discoveries in atopic dermatitis (AD) broaden our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and, above all, enable better management for patients. Dupilumab was the first biologic for AD, and since its approval, many new treatments have emerged in both late- and early-stage clinical trials. These trials have led to a further understanding of the pathogenesis of AD and to the identification of additional potential therapeutic targets. This review will highlight the emerging therapies and provide approaches on how to choose the right treatment for your patients.
