This 1-hour, live CME symposium at the 9th Clinical Dermatology Congress will focus on educating clinicians on the application of newer biologic therapies involved in the management of psoriasis with the goal of presenting the most beneficial and applicable information to clinical practice. The development of therapies that target underlying autoimmune inflammatory processes has changed treatment approaches in psoriatic diseases, and effective biologic agents have become available or are in advanced clinical development. The expert faculty will update learners on the immunopathology of biologic therapeutics for psoriasis, and provide an analysis of clinical trials of current and emerging therapies. In conclusion, learners will be able to better formulate personalized treatment plans that apply biologic therapeutics for patients with moderate-tosevere psoriasis.
