Abstract
The 5th International Conference of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus was held in Tokyo, Japan on May 9 and 10, 2023. The latest topics on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, morphea) were presented by experts in each field and new developments discussed. In these rheumatic skin diseases, many clinical trials of novel therapies targeting cytokines, signaling molecules, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, B cells, and other molecules are currently underway, and standardization of outcome assessment was discussed. In addition, the selection of the therapeutic agents available for the diversity of each case is becoming more important, together with the ongoing pathophysiological analysis of the diseases. The achievements of this conference will further promote the development of clinical practice and research in rheumatic skin diseases through international exchange among researchers. We hope that by reporting a summary of the conference in this manuscript, we can share its contents with readers.
