Maui Derm

The limited armamentarium of systemic therapies for atopic dermatitis has already been expanded with the approval of dupilumab. Forthcoming systemic therapies are expected to include a new biologic and three new Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors.

According to one expert, recently completed phase 3 trials of novel drugs have shown impressive results, with 2021 expected to be an exciting year that will bring further advances in treatment options for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Interview with George Martin, M.D., program director Maui Derm for Dermatologists

George Martin, M.D., dermatologist and program director for the Maui Derm meetings, has been working with the Maui Derm faculty, immunologists and members of industry to share emerging data regarding the novel coronavirus with the dermatology community. Listen to his insights in this video.

The 12th Annual Maui Derm for Dermatologists provides access to industry leaders and a faculty of highly respected dermatologists who offer intimate group discussions and presentations devoted to key topics in medical and aesthetic dermatology.

Dermatologists should keep an eye out for acne in pre-adolescent children as young as one year because pimples may be a sign of serious medical problems, a leading dermatologist told a crowd at the Maui Derm 2015 conference this week.

Highlights of dermatology news in 2014 include promising data about nivolumab (Opdivo, Bristol-Myers Squibb) for melanoma and a new class of drugs that may help patients with stubborn cases of alopecia areata, a top dermatologist told attendees at the Maui Derm 2015 meeting Monday.

The hot topics of discussion at Maui Derm 2012 were January’s Food and Drug Administration approval of two innovative products in the cutaneous oncology arena: Picato (ingenol mebutate, LEO Pharma) 0.015 percent gel and 0.05 percent gel for the treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) and Erivedge (vismodegib, Genentech) for the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma. At MauiDerm I discussed the data on Picato and Keith Flaherty, M.D., an oncologist from Massachusetts General Hospital, discussed Erivedge.
