NCT05841758 Phase: 4 Started: 2024-07-30

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology, mainly affecting the lungs and lymphatics. It affects people worldwide (incidence, 4.7-64/100000; prevalence, 1-36/100000/year). Although it is most often a benign acute or subacute condition, sarcoidosis may progress to a disabli...

NCT07498842 Phase: N/A Started: 2026-03-19

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition affecting many different parts of the body but most commonly the lungs. It is not known what causes sarcoidosis. In some patients no treatment is needed but in other patients long term treatment may be required. One of the main medications used to manage this...

NCT03814317 Phase: 2 Started: 2020-01-30

NCT04017936 Phase: 2 Started: 2020-10-23

Sarcoidosis is a heterogeneous disorder of unknown etiology whose signature lesions are granulomatous inflammatory infiltrates in involved tissues. Tissue commonly affected are lungs, skin, eyes, lymph nodes and the heart. In this latter case, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can lead to atrioventricular (A...

NCT04064242 Phase: 2 Started: 2020-09-23

The purpose of this proof of concept study was to determine whether CMK389 displays the safety and efficacy profile to support further development in chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis.


Agents Found By Disease-Level Search

Searched directly from “Sarcoidosis” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 5-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).
