Incyte is expanding its Moments of Clarity program, an educational initiative highlighting stories of people living with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).
The program will now feature additional real-life patient perspectives, including that of Dr. Sandra Lee, widely known as Dr. Pimple Popper, and Emily, a mom of three, who share their experiences and the impact AD has had on their lives. Last year’s launch featured actress Mandy Moore
For the new program content, each patient shares defining moments throughout their journeys including how they finally found relief with ruxolitinib cream 1.5% (Opzelura, Incyte), a topical selective Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor.
“While many people know me as a dermatologist from my TV show, most probably don’t know that I live with eczema and have struggled with symptoms like persistent itch and skin inflammation throughout my life,” says Dr. Lee in a news release. “I started using Opzelura, a non-steroidal topical option, to treat my eczema flares, which helped alleviate some of my worst symptoms like itch.”
She continues, “I partnered with Incyte on their Moments of Clarity program to share my story and to empower others to seek out a treatment that is right for them.”
All individuals were compensated for their participation.
