Despite being approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), dupilumab’s efficacy in treating patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis had not been evaluated.^1,2 The LIBERTY-AD-HAFT trial demonstrated dupilumab’s efficacy and safety in treating patients with AD with moderate-to-severe hand and foot involvement.3 Based on the study results, the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated the label of dupilumab to include AD with moderate-to-severe hand and foot involvement.⁴

As-needed (PRN) inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)/formoterol is a novel reliever therapy for patients with mild asthma, providing clinical benefits such as reducing the risks of ICS-related systemic effects in populations with short-acting β2-agonist (SABA) reliever overuse and non-adherence to ICS-based maintenance therapy.¹

In general, there is a lack of an easy method for assessing asthma management, in terms of considering the risk of exacerbation and symptom impairment, as well as accounting for how asthma affects the daily life of patients.1 To address this issue, a simple 10-item yes/no tool named the Asthma Impai
