Spotlight on Pediatrics
Addressing Unmet Needs and Optimizing Treatments in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
StartActivity Details
Expires: May 30, 2023
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is allergists, immunologists, dermatologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Assess the burden of CSU, and its effect on quality of life.
- Evaluate the differences and similarities among the various guidelines for the management of CSU.
- Review the clinical evidence regarding current treatment options for patients who are refractory to first- and second-line therapies.
- Examine investigational therapies for the management of CSU.
Activity Description
In this podcast educational activity, experts assess the impact of CSU on quality of life, particularly its impact on sleep, psychological functioning, work, and activity. Current guideline approaches to the management of CSU will be evaluated, as well as treatment options for patients with CSU who fail to achieve complete symptom control with first- and second-line therapies.
Statement of Educational Need
Urticaria, a common skin condition characterized by pruritic hives, can be classified by both symptom duration and underlying etiology. Patients who experience symptom recurrence for ≥6 weeks without a known cause may be diagnosed as having chronic idiopathic urticaria, also referred to as CSU. This condition has a significant negative impact on physical functioning, work performance, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. A US practice guideline issued in 2014 and an international guideline published in 2018 are available to guide the diagnosis and treatment of urticaria. These guidelines differ in select areas, and specialists need to be knowledgeable about the strengths and limitations to select optimal treatment strategies for their patients with CSU.
Agenda
- What’s the Burden and Impact of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria on Quality of Life? With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Laura Ferris.
- What the Guidelines Recommend for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Management, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Kristin Sokol.
- A Closer Look at the Current Standard of Care for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Treatment, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Kristin Sokol.
- Spotlight on Emerging Treatment Options for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Management, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Laura Ferris.

Target Audience
This activity is intended for allergy/immunology and pulmonology clinicians engaged in the care of patients with asthma.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate between phenotypes in patients with asthma according to pathogenic mechanisms and biomarkers
- Select an appropriate biologic therapy for patients with asthma based on disease severity and phenotype
- Integrate the unique roles of the interprofessional care team in the management of comorbidity and quality of life issues in patients with severe and difficult-to-treat asthma
Activity Description
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease involving multiple inflammatory pathways. While many patients can be successfully treated, others suffer from severe or difficult-to-control disease, compounded by multiple atopic conditions, and a poor quality of life. In this interprofessional panel, experts will discuss the different phenotypes and endotypes of asthma, how they affect therapy, the role of biologics in the treatment of severe or uncontrolled asthma, impact comorbid atopy can have on management and quality of life, and how we can work together as a healthcare team to manage severe and difficult-to-treat asthma.

Addressing Unmet Needs and Optimizing Treatments in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria

This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is allergists, immunologists, dermatologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Assess the burden of CSU, and its effect on quality of life.
- Evaluate the differences and similarities among the various guidelines for the management of CSU.
- Review the clinical evidence regarding current treatment options for patients who are refractory to first- and second-line therapies.
- Examine investigational therapies for the management of CSU.
Activity Description
In this podcast educational activity, experts assess the impact of CSU on quality of life, particularly its impact on sleep, psychological functioning, work, and activity. Current guideline approaches to the management of CSU will be evaluated, as well as treatment options for patients with CSU who fail to achieve complete symptom control with first- and second-line therapies.
Statement of Educational Need
Urticaria, a common skin condition characterized by pruritic hives, can be classified by both symptom duration and underlying etiology. Patients who experience symptom recurrence for ≥6 weeks without a known cause may be diagnosed as having chronic idiopathic urticaria, also referred to as CSU. This condition has a significant negative impact on physical functioning, work performance, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. A US practice guideline issued in 2014 and an international guideline published in 2018 are available to guide the diagnosis and treatment of urticaria. These guidelines differ in select areas, and specialists need to be knowledgeable about the strengths and limitations to select optimal treatment strategies for their patients with CSU.
Agenda
- What’s the Burden and Impact of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria on Quality of Life? With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Laura Ferris.
- What the Guidelines Recommend for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Management, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Kristin Sokol.
- A Closer Look at the Current Standard of Care for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Treatment, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Kristin Sokol.
- Spotlight on Emerging Treatment Options for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria Management, With Drs. Allen Kaplan and Laura Ferris.
