Target Audience
This activity is intended for managed care pharmacists, pharmacy benefits managers, pharmacy directors, community pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, medical directors, health economics professionals, and other formulary and plan decision makers within managed healthcare organizations.
Statement of Need
Historically considered to be superficial conditions, AD and AA are now recognized to have significant personal, clinical, and economic effects, with more severe disease associated with increased burden. In addition, the treatment landscape for AD and AA is rapidly changing because of a greater understanding of the systemic nature of immunologic skin conditions and the role of the JAK-STAT pathway in inflammation. These research advances have led to the emergence of JAK inhibitors for the treatment of AD and AA and other immunologic dermatoses. With several JAK inhibitors in late-stage development, managed care pharmacists and decision makers require a greater understanding of the burden of AD and AA, the pathophysiologic underpinnings that form the basis for new targeted treatments (ie, JAK inhibitors), and methods for integrating these treatments into formulary discussions and benefit design.
