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.
