Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of pulmonologists, clinical immunologists/allergists, and other specialist clinicians who manage patients with severe asthma.

Program Overview

This live Call-a-Colleague™ educational program will guide attendees through the long-term management of severe asthma. Expert faculty will provide actionable recommendations on evaluation strategies that consider underlying mechanism of disease, data on newer biologic treatment options, and most importantly, the use of these therapies in current day practice. Interspersed throughout the program are brief Call-a-Colleague™ video calls in which faculty consult with their specialist colleagues to inform management decisions and gain additional insights into health disparities in asthma care and access, comorbid disease, initiation of biologics early within the disease course, and finally, treatment selection for challenging clinical cases.

Educational Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Describe key pathophysiologic processes in severe asthma development and persistence, including the roles of TSLP and implications for treatment
  • Discuss the clinical profiles and recent trial results with newer biologic therapies for severe asthma
  • Construct biologic-based treatment regimens for patients with severe asthma to maximize asthma control, prevent exacerbations, and incorporate shared clinical decision making

Agenda

7:00 PM – 7:10 PM Faculty Welcome and Preactivity Questionnaire
7:10 PM – 7:20 PM Upstream Pathophysiologic Processes in Severe Asthma
7:20 PM – 7:55 PM Severe Asthma Management: New Avenues to Patient Care
7:55 PM – 8:15 PM Engaging Patients in Biologic-Based Treatment for Severe Asthma
8:15 PM – 8:30 PM Postactivity Questionnaire and Q&A Session
