HCPLive will provide on-site coverage of the 2026 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress, held September 30 to October 3 at the Austria Center Vienna, featuring late-breaking trial data and interviews with dermatology leaders.¹,²
The congress returns to Vienna for the third time, following editions in 2007 and 2016, and organizers expect more than 17,000 attendees.³ This year's program includes late-breaking abstracts and poster presentations across prurigo nodularis, alopecia areata, hidradenitis suppurativa, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
HCPLive has interviews slated with such experts as Neal Bhatia, MD; Leon Kircik, MD; Iltefat Hamzavi, MD; Christopher Bunick, MD, PhD; Brett King, MD; Shuguang Yuan, MD; Mark Lebwohl, MD, and more. Conversations will address data from late-breaking and poster presentations, as well as key takeaways from congress sessions.
Which Late-Breaking Trials Will be Presented at EADV 2026?
Late-breaking sessions include 52-week phase 3 results for oturkibart in adults with prurigo nodularis. Investigators will also present 5-year data from the phase 3 ALLEGRO-LT study of ritlecitinib (Litfulo) in patients with alopecia areata and at least 25% scalp hair loss, analyzed by baseline severity.
In hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), the phase 2 placebo-controlled LOTUS trial will report week 16 efficacy and safety for abdakibart, a humanized, high-affinity immunoglobulin G4 anti-interleukin (IL)-1β agent. The presentation includes International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4) subgroup results and lesion-type analyses in moderate to severe disease.
Atopic dermatitis data will feature 16-week results from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ADTouch trial of lebrikizumab (Ebglyss) in patients with atopic hand and foot dermatitis. Top-line phase 2a proof-of-concept data for EVO301, a novel IL-18 binding protein, in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis are also on the agenda.
A 2-year analysis from the ICONIC-TOTAL randomized controlled trial will examine the long-term durability and safety of icotrokinra, a targeted oral peptide, in psoriasis affecting high-impact sites.
EADV 2026 Poster Presentations in Atopic dermatitis, Alopecia Areata, Psoriasis, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Beyond the late breakers, HCPLive is set to report on several poster presentations. An open-label extension of a phase 3 clinical trial will detail long-term efficacy and safety of stapokibart, an anti-IL-4Rα agent, in adolescents with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
In alopecia areata, 52-week results from the phase 2b REZOLVE-AA study will assess rezpegaldesleukin, a novel regulatory T cell-inducing biologic, in patients with severe to very severe disease. A subgroup analysis of the phase 3 CLEAR-2 study will evaluate picankibart efficacy across body mass index and body weight categories in adults with plaque psoriasis.
Hidradenitis suppurativa posters include a patient subgroup analysis of izokibep, a novel IL-17A inhibitor, from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter phase 3 study. Investigators will also share phase 2 results from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2/3 trial of SHR-1819 in adults with prurigo nodularis.
Coverage will run throughout the congress on HCPLive.com, including written summaries of key presentations and video interviews with the dermatologists listed above. Readers can follow the full EADV 2026 conference hub for updates from Vienna.
