This course will provide an overview of biologic treatments applicable to a variety of allergic and immunologic conditions, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, food allergy, anaphylaxis, chronic urticaria, and hereditary angioedema.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify the biologic therapies that are currently available for the treatment of allergic and immunologic conditions
  • Describe the mechanisms of action of biologic therapies across a variety of allergic and immunologic conditions
  • Select which biologic is most appropriate for each patient based on patient biomarkers and clinical characteristics
