PeerView (PVI) is a leading provider of high-quality, innovative continuing education (CME/CE/CPE and MOC) for clinicians and their interprofessional teams. Combining evidence-based medicine and instructional expertise, PeerView activities improve the knowledge, skills, and strategies that support clinical performance and patient outcomes. PeerView makes its educational programming and expert-led presentations and symposia available through its network of popular podcast channels to support specific specialties and conditions. Each episode includes a link to request CME/CE credit for participation. PeerView is solely responsible for the selection of topics, the preparation of editorial content, and the distribution of all materials it publishes.

Over the past decade, the understanding of atopic dermatitis (AD) pathogenesis has evolved, giving way to numerous potential therapeutic targets. During this time, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors—a new class of medications—have also emerged. While the JAK-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway did not seem to be an obvious target early on, JAK inhibitors are likely to be the next generation of agents FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe AD. Indeed, JAK inhibitors are demonstrating benefit across multiple dermatologic diseases and constitute a promising frontier for dermatologic therapy overall. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, our expert faculty examine the complex pathogenesis that underlies AD, focusing on the rationale for development of novel therapeutic approaches. In addition, key information (eg, mechanism of action, side-effect profiles, and dosing) for these new and emerging agents for moderate to severe AD will be provided, as well as the most up-to-date efficacy and safety data and practical considerations for clinical use. Upon completion of this accredited CE activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize recent insights into the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) that have led to the development of new molecules targeting key cytokine signaling pathways, Evaluate recent safety and efficacy data related to emerging treatment options for moderate to severe AD, identifying potential implications for patient care, Develop strategies to identify candidates for newer therapeutic options and overcome barriers to achieving treatment goals in patients with moderate to severe AD.
