At last! Personalized Medicine for Psoriasis brings the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) to the 2026 EADV Congress. This 90-minute symposium examines how personalized care is reshaping psoriasis management. Expert faculty will cover approaches to personalized medicine that move from the clinical picture to the molecular drivers of the disease, therapeutic drug monitoring, and dose optimization, with attention to what works in real-world care, as well as the digital technologies now available for psoriasis. Each of these topics connects current evidence to the decisions dermatologists face in the clinic every day. An extended panel discussion closes the symposium, bringing faculty and panelists together to answer audience questions and consider how these tools translate into daily clinical practice.

Join IPC for a program designed for dermatologists who treat psoriasis and want to know what comes next in care.

New Take Tens on Psoriatic Arthritis

IPC Councilor Anna Lopez Ferrer, MD, PhD, reviews PURE-4, a four-item tool that helps dermatologists screen psoriasis patients for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) risk. She traces its evolution across three studies (2018–2026) into a validated predictor of early PsA.

IPC Councilor André Lucas Ribeiro, MD, reframes PsA as a slow transition from psoriasis, not a sudden event, opening the door to disease interception. He outlines the steps needed to get there, from harmonizing definitions to reducing inflammatory burden.
