On a therapeutic point of view, 2017 in dermatology could be summarized in one disease, one pathway and in one number : atopic dermatitis, JAK inhibitors and 23. 2017 will be the year of the first registration of a biologic treatment in atopic dermatitis, dupilumab, with numerous other drugs currently in development. JAK inhibitors show promising results in several difficult-to-treat conditions, such as alopecia areata, vitiligo or atopic dermatitis, but still warrant confirmation in upcoming controlled trials. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-23 have confirmed in phase III studies their great efficacy in controlling psoriasis and will be soon available in practice, illustrating well the optimal link between bench side and bed in this emblematic inflammatory dermatological condition.
