Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of allergists/immunologists, pediatricians, and primary care clinicians (MDs/DOs/NPs/PAs).
Program Overview
The global occurrence of food allergies is increasing due to environmental, lifestyle, and nutritional factors. Food allergies pose heavy emotional, social, and financial impacts on those affected and their families; however, emerging treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of food allergies and common comorbidities are showing promise in clinical trials Increasingly, the onus is on front-line clinicians to counsel patients and families and work with allergists to help break down barriers to accessing appropriate care.
Join a panel of allergy and primary care clinicians to discuss the mechanisms of action and efficacy/safety profiles of emerging anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) therapies for food allergies and where these agents may fit in the treatment algorithm. Expert panelists will, thus, share the implications and goals of different therapeutic approaches, review when and how to counsel patients as part of shared decision-making, and also identify the roles and responsibilities of each member of the care team involved in the management of food allergies and comorbidities.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe current evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of emerging biologics that target the underlying pathophysiology of food allergies and common comorbidities
- Summarize strategies to develop a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to the management of people with food allergies and other immunoglobulin E mediated comorbidities
