Our Goals for Today
Help you recognize the impact of prurigo nodularis on patients’ lives
Improve your understanding of the pathophysiology of PN and how
it correlates to treatment selection and the development of novel
therapeutic strategies
Provide you with skills to incorporate new and emerging
therapeutic options into individualized treatment plans of patients
with PN
Enable you to collaborate with clinical colleagues across the
healthcare team to bridge gaps in disease management and
optimize outcomes in patients with PN
Meeting the Needs and Closing the Gaps
Recognizing the Clinical

Constant scratching in response to
intense, relentless pruritus often
leads to excoriations
Depression and Anxiety
Patients with PN have higher rates
of depression, anxiety, and other
psychiatric conditions vs those with
other inflammatory skin conditions
or with healthy controls

Intractable
itch/scratch of PN
and interconnected
QOL disruption
Sleep Disturbance
Because of Itch
The intractable itch results in sleep
deprivation, thereby contributing to
other diseases, including
psychiatric conditions
Psychosocial Disturbance
Patients report avoiding social
interactions due to
lesion-related
embarrassment or shame
Impaired QOL, sleep deprivation, missed work/school,
emotional impact (depression, anxiety, anger, shame,
helplessness), and social isolation
Dermatologic conditions such as AD and
other diseases (eg, chronic kidney disease, diabetes,
heart failure, chronic HBV/HCV, HIV, and non-Hodgkin
lymphoma) may be associated with PN
Although some of these conditions can be causative, the precise
relationship remains to be fully delineated

The goals of PN treatment include reducing pruritus, interrupting the
itch-scratch cycle, healing PN lesions, and improving patient QOL
An interprofessional approach is critical for optimal patient management
Treatment for PN has begun to evolve with the approval of targeted
biologic therapy (dupilumab) in 2022;
other agents (eg, nemolizumab, JAK inhibitors) are in development
