 conference included a session titled ‘Pediatric Dermatology 2026,’ during which a panel of pediatric dermatologists touched on the latest data in pediatric dermatology, including new drugs and therapies for pediatric patients.

In a new interview filmed on-site at Maui Derm, the 

 editorial team spoke with Dawn Eichenfield, MD, PhD, a dermatologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at UC San Diego School of Medicine. Eichenfield spoke with 

 about some of the most notable takeaways from her talk, as well as related questions in the pediatric dermatology space.

The following Q&A interview is a transcript of her questions and answers:

What are the most meaningful changes in pediatric dermatology practice that clinicians should be aware of heading into 2026?

 I think that what is really exciting about pediatric dermatology is the number of treatments and therapeutics that we now have available for our kids. There was a time where we barely had any biologics for psoriasis, and now we have many. Then, in atopic dermatitis, we have, of course, dupilumab, which has been around the longest. But we now have others that are trickling down into the pediatric space.

In my talk today, I actually talked about tips and tricks for biologics. One of the ones that I spoke about was about dupilumab and about how it's really important to know the mechanism of your biologic. This is just because sometimes, if you know the mechanism, you can often use that medication off-label to treat other cytokine diseases that are mediated by that same kind of pathway.

Then there are other things, trying to figure out how to take care of different side effects that might happen from the biologic, and also, when does disease modification occur in atopic dermatitis? We're always interested in curing the disease. If we are able to get a better result, are we able to stop the medicine, and when should we try to do it, and how to do it? Those are all things that I highlighted today in my talk.

 Are there specific conditions in pediatric patients where emerging data or therapies are changing how you approach diagnosis or management?

 I think there are quite a number so genetic skin diseases. In today's day and age, with more high throughput sequencing and gene panels, I think we approach genetic skin disease very differently. We do a lot more kind of genetic testing and sequencing, for example, in epidermolysis bullosa, [which is] a big skin disease that we as dermatologists see. It used to be that there would be a day where we would take a biopsy and do electron microscopy and different things like that, trying to induce a blister.

Nowadays, the test is more based on the genetics. So, you can go ahead and just swab the kid or draw blood and send that to 1 of the commercial companies and get a diagnosis that way. They can actually find the molecular etiology. It’s the same for ichthyosis. With ichthyosis, they've actually changed the nomenclature. So we used to have ichthyosis vulgaris. Now we call it epidermal differentiation disorder with flagrant EDD dash flags. So there's lots of changes in pediatric dermatology genetic disease, where we're kind of focusing a lot more on the gene and less on the clinical presentation.

What pearls from your session can help general dermatologists feel more confident treating children in busy clinical settings?

I did talk quite a bit about how to give injections to kids in my talk. I think it's really hard, because kids are really scared of shots, but a lot of our treatments are still shot-based. There are different ways that you can ice the skin, chilling for anesthesia. There are creams that you can use. There's a little device, a vibrating device that looks like a little bee or a little ladybug, to help distract the skin. There are also different ways that you can time your injection, like sometimes if you do it a little slower, some kids might feel that less painful. So there are small little tips and tricks, but we do hope one day that we can have a painless injection.

Emerging Psoriasis, PsA Drugs and Future Developments in Dermatology, With Linda Stein Gold, MD

 titled ‘Best of the Best at Maui Derm,’ during which its 2 presenters highlighted recent data in the psoriasis treatment space on emerging therapeutic agents.

Linda Stein Gold, MD, director of Dermatology Clinical Research for the Henry Ford Health System, and Jason Hawkes, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the University of California, Davis, presented this talk. Stein Gold, who previously touched on these findings in an 

 interview, was asked in this video about what stood out in the panel discussion about improving early recognition of psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

“When we think about our psoriasis patients, we have to remember that this is a systemic disease, and psoriatic arthritis is one of those manifestations that occurs quite commonly in our psoriasis patients,” Stein Gold explained.

Stein Gold noted during certain times, clinicians should have the potential for PsA development at front of mind. Such patients will specifically have scalp involvement or nail involvement. These patients may require substantial attention in terms of early PsA detection.

Later, Stein Gold was asked about practicing clinicians trying to navigate an increasingly complex therapeutic landscape. Specifically, she was asked which guiding principles she would emphasize when choosing among new and established psoriasis treatments.

“It can be very confusing when we look at our current options and our new options for psoriasis patients, but I think we really owe it to ourselves and to our patients to understand what's going on with each new drug,” Stein Gold explained. “We don't have to know every single drug, but we should get to know drugs in particular categories. Get to know a really good IL-23 drug and IL-17 drug, maybe a TNF-inhibitor, that you're comfortable with. Then let's look at the newer oral agents. Let's look at the TYK2 inhibitors.”

 has published new clinical practice guidelines aimed at improving the early, timely, and accurate diagnosis of light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

The guidelines were published January 28, 2026, in 

 and outline best practices to support clinicians in recognizing and diagnosing AL amyloidosis, a disease frequently missed or diagnosed late due to its heterogeneous presentation.

“These guidelines will be a valuable resource not only for hematologists, but for clinicians across other specialties who care for patients with AL amyloidosis,” said Robert Negrin, MD, ASH President, in a statement. “Because this is a rare and often underrecognized disorder, these recommendations are particularly important for coordinating care and increasing awareness.”

AL amyloidosis is typically a multisystem disease, with amyloid deposits affecting multiple organs. The heart and kidneys are most commonly involved, potentially resulting in cardiomyopathy, renal failure, and pleural or pericardial effusions. Multiorgan dysfunction is strongly associated with poorer outcomes and reduced survival, while 51% to 80% of patients present with cardiac involvement, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients.

The pathogenesis of AL amyloidosis is caused by the misfolding and tissue deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains produced by abnormal plasma cells. These amyloid deposits, along with circulating free light chains, disrupt normal tissue structure and function, leading to progressive organ damage and increased risk of death, particularly when diagnosis is delayed.

In the past, patients have reported diagnostic delays of >1 year from symptom onset, especially since the presenting symptoms are non-specific, and first-line clinicians may not have disease awareness.

For example, one primary risk factor for AL amyloidosis is increased age, with a median age at diagnosis of approximately 64 years. Since the disease often presents later in life, nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, or reduced appetite are frequently misattributed to aging or more common chronic conditions, contributing to prolonged diagnostic delays.

Despite existing diagnostic tools, the absence of a standardized, evidence-based diagnostic pathway has contributed to prolonged delays and missed diagnoses in AL amyloidosis.

To address this diagnostic gap, the multidisciplinary guideline panel included hematologists, cardiologists, a neurologist, a nephrologist, an internist, a pathologist, and one patient representative. For each recommendation, the Evidence-Based Practice and Impact Center at the University of Kansas Health System conducted systematic evidence reviews and developed GRADE Evidence-to-Decision frameworks to guide recommendations.

The guidelines recommend the use of blood and urine testing, including serum immunofixation, urine immunofixation, and serum free light chain assays, when clinical suspicion for AL amyloidosis exists. To confirm diagnosis, the panel supports the use of surrogate biopsies through combined bone marrow biopsy and fat pad sampling in most cases, while recognizing that target organ biopsies may be appropriate in select clinical scenarios.

“For these patients, time is of the essence,” said Vishal Kukreti, MD, chair of the ASH Guidelines on Diagnosis of Light Chain Amyloidosis and a malignant hematologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, in a statement. “These guidelines will help clinicians across disciplines think of this disease in the right scenarios and provide them with the necessary tools to obtain a clear, accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible.”

Currently, the panel is developing follow-up guidelines focused on the treatment of AL amyloidosis.

New clinical practice guidelines have been released to enhance the diagnosis of light chain (AL) amyloidosis, a condition often diagnosed late due to its varied presentation. These guidelines aim to assist clinicians across specialties in recognizing and diagnosing this rare disorder, which frequently involves multiple organs, particularly the heart and kidneys. The guidelines recommend specific blood and urine tests and biopsy methods to confirm diagnosis. A multidisciplinary panel developed these recommendations, and follow-up guidelines on treatment are currently in progress.

MASH Pipeline Developments and Emerging Therapies to Watch in 2026, With Mazen Noureddin, MD, MHSc

After years of setbacks and uncertainty, the therapeutic landscape for 

metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)

 has entered a decisive new phase. Once characterized by failed trials and a lack of approved therapies, the field has rapidly shifted toward cautious optimism, driven by regulatory clarity, advancing endpoints, and a deepening late-stage pipeline.

“It’s an exciting landscape,” Mazen Noureddin, MD, MHSc, professor of medicine at Houston Methodist Hospital and co-chairman of the Board for Summit and Pinnacle Clinical Research, told 

. “There used to be a pessimistic look on the field from patients and investors. Not so much from researchers, because we started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and the difficult end points started being formalized back then, and now, in 2026 we're starting with 2 drugs approved, resmetirom and semaglutide.”

He describes 2026 as a pivotal “year of action” for MASH drug development, with 2027 poised to deliver critical outcomes. He notes that the field has already crossed an important threshold, with resmetirom and semaglutide receiving accelerated approvals, while confirmatory outcomes trials continue. Now, the focus is now on demonstrating long-term benefit, particularly the prevention of cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation.

Noureddin additionally highlights several late-stage programs that he believes will shape the next era of care, including the ongoing MAESTRO outcomes trial of resmetirom in patients with cirrhosis. He also points to the momentum around FGF21-based therapies, including efruxifermin, pegozafermin, and efimosfermin, noting multiple high-impact phase 2 publications and active phase 3 programs following major acquisitions by large pharmaceutical companies.

Beyond these programs, Noureddin underscores growing enthusiasm for dual- and triple-agonist approaches, including GLP-1/glucagon combinations now in phase 3 development. He also draws attention to emerging innovation earlier in the pipeline, such as gene therapy approaches targeting FGF21 and novel agents expected to deliver biopsy data in 2026.

Despite this progress, Noureddin also calls attention to persistent unmet needs, including effective therapies for patients with cirrhosis.

“That is doable, but we don't have it handy for the patients, and the clock is ticking in terms of [getting it to them] before they decompensate,” he said. “I would like to see a drug approved as soon as possible for this patient population in particular.”

He also references the development of combination treatment regimens and the urgent push to move away from liver biopsy as a trial requirement as unmet needs he wants to see addressed, but expresses optimism around recent progress in the development of treatments for metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD).

Looking ahead, Noureddin says he believes the next 5 years will define the backbone of MASH treatment algorithms, even as progress in decompensated cirrhosis may take longer. Still, he characterizes the current moment as unprecedented and marked by momentum, collaboration, and hope for patients who have long lacked therapeutic options.

Discussing Icotrokinra for Adolescents, Other Emerging Psoriasis Drugs, With Linda Stein Gold, MD

, held at the Grand Wailea hotel, featured a presentation titled ‘Best of the Best at Maui Derm’ highlighting some of the key recent data on emerging therapeutic agents.

This session was presented by Linda Stein Gold, MD, director of Dermatology Clinical Research for the Henry Ford Health System, and Jason Hawkes, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the University of California, Davis, in Sacramento. Stein Gold sat down with 

 to discuss some of the most notable information highlighted in this talk.

“I think that in 2026, we understand that we have options available for our psoriasis patients to get them under control better than we have in the past, and we have wonderful options in the topical arena. We have these new nonsteroidal options that actually allow us to get patients under control and keep them under control.”

Additionally, Stein Gold highlighted efficacy rates of some of the new nonsteroidals as higher than more traditional nonsteroidal options in the past. Such options may help to simplify the treatment regimens among patients with psoriasis. Stein Gold also highlighted biologic agents getting patients to clear or almost clear and working well for psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Stein Gold was later asked about any specific drugs on the horizon with a significant amount of data behind them.

“We have one oral agent, icotrakinra…and this is a drug that's actually an oral peptide,” Stein Gold said. “It's different from the small molecules in the biologic [realm], and it's been formulated to be better absorbed. This drug actually targets the IL-23 receptor.”

Stein Gold noted icotrokinra was developed to selectively bind the interleukin (IL)-23 receptor and inhibit IL-23–mediated signaling. The medication’s use in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis was explored in a variety of phase 3 clinical trials, including LEAD, ADVANCE 1, and ADVANCE 2.2 Stein Gold’s talk at Maui Derm included a discussion of data in adolescent patients specifically.

“We had a recent readout there where the efficacy data is really quite good, long term data does not show any safety signals that we seem to be concerned about,” Stein Gold explained. “We know that when we stop treatment with this drug, we see that we have about 8 - 12 weeks before we lose a PASI 90 or a PASI 75 response.”
