Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disease that causes itchy, dry, and inflamed skin to approximately 9.6 million children and 16.5 million adults in the US. The condition is highly heterogeneous – disease progression and symptoms will vary between all patients. Patients often experience delayed diagnoses and are unable to access appropriate treatments due to the heterogeneity of the disease and barriers to accessing care. These barriers may lead to less-than-optimal health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. 

As the treatment landscape for AD continues to evolve and advance, it is essential that patients have access to effective treatments that can improve patient symptoms and reduce the impact of AD on a patient’s daily life.
