We report on the latest data presented at the congress, and what it could mean for clinical practice.
Could abdakibart offer a new treatment option for hidradenitis suppurativa? Dr Martina L. Porter discusses encouraging findings from the phase 2 LOTUS trial, including improvements in disease severity and draining tunnels, alongside a reassuring safety profile over 16 weeks, and considers what these results could mean for clinical practice.
For women taking dupilumab to manage atopic dermatitis or asthma, limited pregnancy safety data can make treatment decisions challenging. Dr Christina Chambers discusses reassuring findings from a registry study of 539 pregnancies and how they could help clinicians counsel women who are pregnant or planning a family.
Encouraging findings from JAKPPPOT support the feasibility of a definitive randomized controlled trial of Janus kinase inhibitors in palmoplantar pustulosis and provide an exploratory estimate of treatment effect. We spoke with Dr David Gleeson about the results presented at EADV 2026 and their implications for future research.
RLS-1496 1% cream is an investigational senotherapeutic treatment that inhibits GPX4. It aims to target senescent cells, potentially offering a new approach to treating actinic keratosis (AK). Encouraging findings from a phase 1b/2a, multicenter, open-label study were presented at EADV 2026. We spoke with Dr Mary Spellman, who presented the findings, about the results and their implications for the treatment’s future development.
We’re onsite at ESC Congress 2026 to speak with leading experts about the latest data, emerging insights and what they could mean for clinical practice.
Sonelokimab showed encouraging results in the phase 2 LEDA trial in adults with palmoplantar pustulosis. Dr Nina Magnolo discusses the findings, including a mean 64% reduction in disease severity at Week 16, and their potential implications for patients.
On Day 2 of the EADV 2026 congress, we were delighted to speak with touchDERMATOLOGY Editorial Board member, Dr Maria Angeliki Gkini who shared her highlights from key psoriasis sessions and discussed what these developments could mean for clinical practice.
New 52-week REZOLVE-AD data showed durable responses with monthly and quarterly rezpegaldesleukin (REZPEG) maintenance dosing in atopic dermatitis. Prof. Thomas Bieber discusses the findings and the potential for long-term remission and disease modification, highlighting the further evidence needed to explore these goals.
How does bimekizumab perform in everyday clinical practice? An Italian multicenter study reported improvements in disease activity, pain, and quality of life in people with hidradenitis suppurativa, with no unexpected safety signals. Dr Mario Valenti shares the findings and his perspective with touchDERMATOLOGY.
Could glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists affect nail health? A multinational study presented at EADV 2026 found nail disorders were reported more frequently among users, with nearly sevenfold higher odds of nail detachment. Prof. Bianca Maria Piraccini discusses the findings and why further clinical assessment is needed.
Through our new collaboration, we will work together to increase the visibility of important developments in dermatology, from the latest clinical research and scientific advances to key society news and updates. As part of the partnership, touchDERMATOLOGY will also bring our community independent coverage directly from the EADV Congress, including the latest data, expert perspectives, key clinical takeaways and onsite interviews with leading specialists.
With EADV Congress 2026 just around the corner, there is plenty to look forward to in Vienna from 30 September to 3 October. If you are joining this year, whether onsite or online, the keynote and plenary sessions are well worth making time for in your congress schedule.
