Derms and Conditions

Young Guns in Dermatology 1: Conquer Challenges with Collaboration


Listen Later

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, is joined by Diego Ruiz DaSilva, MD, dermatologist at Forefront Dermatology and assistant professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Together, they discuss Dr DaSilva’s recent publications and his journey in building a collaborative research career focused on real-world clinical insights.

 To begin, Dr DaSilva shares the inspiration behind his recent publication that evaluated oral JAK inhibitors in elderly patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Motivated by the positive feedback from older patients and the perception that JAKs are underutilized due to safety concerns, he conducted a multicenter retrospective study that found strong efficacy and a reassuring safety profile in patients aged 65 to 96.

Next, the discussion turns to nemolizumab, an IL-31 receptor antagonist recently approved for prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis. Dr DaSilva highlights a patient case that prompted a broader series: a patient with cancer experiencing recalcitrant itch who saw complete resolution within days of starting nemolizumab. Across 10 cases, 8 showed a rapid and marked itch response, with no adverse events or ocular surface issues.

Finally, they review a case report on palmoplantar psoriasis treated with topical roflumilast 0.3% cream. Used initially as a bridge to systemic therapy, the patient achieved unexpectedly robust results with the topical alone, avoiding the need for a biologic. Dr DaSilva notes the importance of keeping nonsteroidal topicals in mind, especially for steroid-sparing strategies.

Tune in to the full episode for more real-world data and case-based insights to help manage complex dermatologic conditions.
