Overview

New insights are emerging about mucus plugging. There is a need for scientists and clinicians to understand what is now possible to measure with imaging and what current and new therapies can target mucus plugging.

Educational aims

The aims of this webinar are to understand the mechanisms of mucus plugging, how to measure it and how to target it. This webinar will discuss the cutting-edge research in this field with a focus of what is and about to be in the clinic.

Topics

This webinar will focus on mucus plugging - recent advances in mechanistic understanding and clinical interventions, to answer the questions:

• What are the mechanisms driving mucus plugging?
• How can we measure mucus plugging and why is it important?
• What current and emerging treatments do we have?

Target audience

• Clinicians
• Trainees
• Pharmaceutical representatives
• Nurses
• Allied healthcare professionals
• Researchers

Learning outcomes

Following this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe the mechanisms driving mucus plugging
• Learn how we can measure mucus plugging and why it is important clinically in terms of its role in asthma control, lung function and exacerbation risk
• Learn what current and emerging treatments we have for both T2-immune mediated and non-T2 immune mediated mechanisms

CME credit

An application for accreditation of this webinar has been made to the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) for 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. If accredited, the CME credit will be granted upon attendance of at least 60 minutes during the live webinar only.

What is a webinar?

A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.

All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
