Abstract

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are potentially life-threatening, immune-mediated adverse reactions characterized by widespread erythema, epidermal necrosis, and detachment of skin and mucosa. Efforts to grow and develop functional international collaborations and a multidisciplinary interactive network focusing on SJS/TEN as an uncommon but high burden disease will be necessary to improve efforts in prevention, early diagnosis and improved acute and long-term management. SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation was a 1.5-day scientific program held April 26-27, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. The meeting successfully engaged clinicians, researchers, and patients and conducted many productive discussions on research and patient care needs.

Keywords: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA); Pharmacogenomics; Pharmacovigilance; Severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR); Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS); Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).

Figure 1.. SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation Conference Participants.
The SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation conference was organized by the three co-chairs of the congress: Drs. Elizabeth J. Phillips (Vanderbilt University Medical Center), Bruce C. Carleton (University of British Columbia), and Wen-Hung Chung (Chang Gung University). a. Global distribution of participants. A total of 164 participants, representing 19 countries across six continents, engaged in this meeting, which took place at the British Columbia Children’s Hospital Research Institute in Vancouver, Canada. b. Regional Networks and Registries and SJS patient support foundations. This was of special significance because it was the largest SJS/TEN event that gathered together 16 government representatives, as well as 12 regional SCAR networks and registries from countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Forty-three local and international SJS/TEN survivors, their families, and local community advocacy groups also attended. Six representatives from government drug regulatory and research funding agencies in the United States and Canada provided updates on regulatory science and funding opportunities related to SCAR and drug safety. c. Each sector shows the percentage of each group of participants. Participants comprised 43 (27%) patient participants, 29 (18%) dermatologists, 23 (14%) ophthalmologists, 23 (14%) experts in pharmacogenomics or clinical pharmacology, 17 (10%) other medical disciplines, 16 (10%) government officers, 10 (6%) basic science researchers, and 3 (2%) from the pharmaceutical industry.
