Research included new findings on topical and systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia areata, and other chronic skin disorders.
At the 2025 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, exciting advancements in dermatologic therapies were unveiled for a variety of skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and prurigo nodularis. This year’s highlights include promising results from late-stage clinical trials with novel oral, topical, and systemic treatments—such as phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor roflumilast cream 1% for refractory AD, OX40 inhibitor rocatinlimab for moderate-to-severe AD, and triple cytokine inhibitor bimekizumab for long-term plaque psoriasis control. In the slides above, Patient Care© Online breaks down the key clinical findings for primary care clinicians.
