Emerging microbiome-based therapies for atopic dermatitis: clinical insights and future development

Le résumé fourni par la source

INTRODUCTION: overgrowth. However, given the emerging understanding of microbiome-mediated and environmentally driven disease mechanisms, expanding therapeutic strategies to include dysbiosis and upstream environmental contributors represents a promising direction for future research. AREAS COVERED: This manuscript will review the strengths and limitations of the standard treatments for AD, including emollients, topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and systemic immunomodulators. The focus, however, will be on the emerging microbiome-based therapies, specifically products containing live microorganisms (biotherapeutics). The potential for, and challenges against, biotherapeutics to grow within the market of AD treatment will be discussed. EXPERT OPINION: Immune suppressive approaches will remain limited to symptomatic control. These treatments will also be limited by tradeoffs inherent to the balance between symptom control and side effects of immune suppression. To successfully aide patients, topical biotherapeutics will need to overcome pharmaceutical-centric paradigms, academic dogma, and regulatory inertia. Limitations in current therapies and patient needs, along with the potential to offer prevention against AD development, will likely propel biotherapeutics forward.
