PROVIDER STATEMENT

This educational activity is provided by Integrity Continuing Education, Inc.
Presented in partnership with the Miami Society of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMERCIAL SUPPORT

This activity is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Characterized by severe flares of painful, pruritic, pus-filled blisters, generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare dermatologic disorder that many dermatologists have never seen—at least not that they realized. Historically thought of as a severe form of plaque psoriasis (PsO), recent insights into the pathogenesis of GPP show it to be a distinct immuno-inflammatory disease driven by overactivity of the
IL-36 pathway.

Join GPP expert Dr. Mark Lebwohl to find out what dermatologists and other healthcare professionals need to know about the pathogenesis of GPP, the mechanism of action of IL-36 receptor antagonists, and how to recognize, diagnose, and manage patients with this inflammatory cutaneous disease.

Learning Objective
TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational program is designed for dermatologists as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants who could be involved in recognizing and managing rare dermatologic conditions including GPP.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify patient characteristics, common comorbidities, and frequently observed triggers that should raise the index of suspicion for GPP and lead to a timelier diagnosis
  • Describe the pathogenesis of GPP and the mechanism of action of IL-36 receptor antagonists
  • Incorporate new and emerging IL-36 receptor inhibitors to treat and prevent GPP flares based on recent clinical trial findings
  • Develop a multidisciplinary, patient-centric strategy to address the cutaneous and extracutaneous disease burden of GPP
