HOME

Objectives for the conference:

The objectives for this session are to identify key priorities for HOME over the next 5 years supporting the established COS. We would like to develop four working Groups (WG) corresponding to each domain in the clinical trials COS (Signs, Symptoms, QOL, and Eczema Control).

Enable, support and encourage attendees to begin work on additional domains for the HOME Clinical Practice Set (HOME-CP). We would like to continue to identify instruments that are valid and feasible for measuring disease domains in the clinical practice setting. 


Target audience 

HOME is a global initiative of patients, healthcare professionals, journal editors, regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry, and welcomes anyone interested in atopic eczema.
