Filter by:The purpose of this proof of concept study is to determine whether CMK389 displays the safety and efficacy profile to support further development in chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo matched to efzofitimod-controlled, study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetic (PK), and preliminary efficacy of multiple ascending doses of IV efzofitimod in participants with pulmonary sarcoidosis undergoing a protocol-guided oral corticosteroid (OCS) tapering regimen.This study will consist of 3 staggered multiple dose cohorts. Each eligible participant will participate in only one cohort during the study. Within each cohort, 12 participants will be randomized 2:1 to efzofitimod (N=8) or placebo matched to efzofitimod (N=4).
This study evaluates safety, tolerability, biodistribution and performance of the [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 following a single intravenous administration in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis or pulmonary sarcoidosis as well as radiation dosimetry, plasma pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, safety and tolerability of the tracer in healthy volunteers.
Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown cause which affects adults of all ethnic backgrounds. Clumps of tissue called granulomas develop primarily in the lungs, but can damage other organs, especially the heart. Anecdotal evidence from autopsy studies suggests the heart is affected in up to 68% of patients, but there is much uncertainty about this figure. If undetected and untreated, it can lead to serious complications or even sudden death. The current recommendation is to perform heart tracings (ECG s) on all patients, but this detects fewer than half of those with heart involvement. Blood markers traditionally used to diagnose heart disease are unreliable, meaning there is no simple blood test in use. The investigators propose a study with three aims. Firstly, identify the true prevalence of heart disease by performing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans on a group of patients with newly diagnosed lung sarcoidosis. Those found to have heart disease will have specialist (but routine) electrical heart tests. Secondly, (and perhaps the most immediate and clinically relevant) to identify the best method of diagnosing heart involvement using a combination of three simple tests: advanced ECG, 24-hour continuous ECG and a new type of computerised ultrasound scan. Thirdly, to identify proteins in the blood that could be used to develop a simple blood test for heart involvement in patients with lung sarcoidosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess if ACZ885 will improve lung function in association with reduction of tissue inflammation in patients with chronic sarcoidosis.
The goal of the current study is to evaluate the potential of the selected PET tracers to detect sarcoidotic lesions in lungs. The tracers are already in clinical use for the detection of certain inflammatory processes or malignant tumors, and their targets present similarities with molecular mechanisms of sarcoidosis.
The aim of the study is determining the non-inferiority in the overall success rate and the safety for a combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine plus low dose glucocorticoids compared to that for high dose glucocorticoids at 3 and 9 months in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
An randomized trial of two maintenance doses of Acthar Gel for patients with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis. Patients will be observed for 24 weeks of treatment.
The study proposes to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of PD 0360324 in subjects with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis inadequately treated with standard of care therapies.
This is a pilot study investigating the effect of an antioxidant, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), on inflammation and oxidative stress in sarcoidosis.
