Therapeutic Dermatology: Latest updates across atopic dermatitis and acne

Four presentations on Nemluvio (nemolizumab), the first approved monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and inhibits the signaling of IL-31, will explore its efficacy and safety in different patient populations with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.^1-4,15-17 This includes a late-breaking presentation assessing the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of nemolizumab in pediatric patients (aged 2 to 11 years) on Saturday, March 28 at 10:24-10:36 AM MDT / 5:24-5:36 PM CET in Bellco Theatre 3.¹ Additionally, an oral presentation of post hoc data from the ARCADIA long-term extension trial, taking place on Saturday, March 28 at 2:10-2:15 PM MDT / 9:10-9:15 PM CET in Lobby C, Poster Center 2, will look at the long-term maintenance of itch and skin responses with Nemluvio up to 104 weeks.² Two other posters will display data on Nemluvio’s long-term efficacy and safety up to two years in adolescents, and in patients with partial and minimal skin response at 16 weeks.^3,4

Our product theater on Sunday, March 29 at 10:30-11:15 AM MDT / 6:30-7:15 PM CET in Theatre 1 will delve into the critical role of neuroimmune interactions in atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis, focusing on how targeted IL-31 treatment can improve patient outcomes.

Dermatological Skincare: Nine presentations spanning sensitive skin, acne, eczema-prone and mature skin

Two oral presentations will be delivered at the congress: one exploring how high-risk factors for sensitive skin can be identified through artificial intelligence (Saturday March 28 at 1:05-1:10 PM MDT / 8:05-8:10 PM CET in Lobby C, Poster Center 2), and another to share results from a survey of dermatology practitioners on post-isotretinoin acne management (Sunday March 29 at 3:10-3:15 PM MDT / 11:10-11:15 PM CET in Lobby C, Poster Center 1).^9,18

Five e-posters will investigate the properties of Galderma’s Cetaphil portfolio in different skin types, including the time to itch relief with Cetaphil Restoraderm Eczema Soothing Moisturizer and Restoraderm Eczema Rapid Relief Cream for patients with eczema-prone skin, its efficacy in mature and aging skin, its blendability with Sun Protection Factor across a range of skin tones, and the mildness of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.^19-21

Ahead of AAD, Galderma will host the Cetaphil Innovation Forum 2026 in collaboration with Galderma’s Global Sensitive Skincare Faculty bringing together healthcare professionals from around the globe to share how innovative biology-driven solutions, including AM/PM Serums and Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Line, can improve skin health by mitigating two key biological drivers of skin aging: oxidative stress and cellular senescence. Together, these strategies support a broader vision of skin longevity and resilience over time.

Injectable Aesthetics: Exploring the ability of different treatment modalities to address needs across the face and body
