About this study

Official title: Cutaneous Sarcoidosis With Moderate to Severe Involvement of the Face : Multicenter Open-label Study of Oral Sirolimus Efficacy and Tolerance

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease of unknown etiology characterized by the presence of epithelioid granulomas without caseous necrosis in the organs involved. Sarcoidosis cutaneous lesions can be severe. There is no recommendation for the treatment of cutaneous sarcoidosis. A recent study highlights the potential efficacy of mTOR inhibitors in the treatment of sarcoidosis granulomas. The hypothesis is that sirolimus could be effective for sarcoidosis treatment, especially for cutaneous lesions.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate sirolimus efficacy on cutaneous sarcoidosis of the face.

The main evaluation criteria is the percentage of patients with a significant clinical response (relative decrease in "facial SASI" ≥ 25%) at week 16 of treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients with a significant clinical response

    Significant clinical response will be defined as a relative decrease in "facial SASI" ≥ 25% compared to baseline.

    Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.

    Measured: at week 16

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Percentage of patients with a good clinical response

    A good clinical response will be defined as a relative decrease of "facial SASI" ≥ 50%.

    Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.

    Measured: at week 16

  2. Percentage of patients with complete clinical response

    Complete clinical response will be defined as "facial SASI" = 0. Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.

    Measured: at week 16

  3. Percentage of patients with an improvement of their quality of dermatological life

    An improvement will be defined as a decrease of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire> 25%. DLQI goes from 0 to 30. A lower score indicated a good quality of Life, and a higher score a worse quality of life.

    Measured: at week 16

  4. Comparison of face facial photographs with good brightness compared to baseline

    Qualitative clinical aspects of skin sarcoidosis lesions will be compared between baseline and Week 16, as an illustrative proof in addition to quantitative skin score assessment (Facial SASI)

    Measured: at week 16

  5. Sarcoidosis activity score evaluated for other organs evaluted using Extra-Pulmonary Physician Organ Severity Tool (ePOST)

    Sarcoidosis activity for all organs will be evaluted using Extra-Pulmonary Physician Organ Severity Tool (ePOST) (from 0 (normal) to 6(severe impairment))

    Measured: at week 16

  6. Sarcoidosis activity score evaluated for other organs evaluted using Extra-Pulmonary Physician Organ Severity Tool (ePOST)

    Sarcoidosis activity for all organs will be evaluted using Extra-Pulmonary Physician Organ Severity Tool (ePOST) (from 0 (normal) to 6(severe impairment))

    Measured: at 12 months

  7. Sarcoidosis activity score evaluated for other organs using Score Sarcoidosis disease activity index (SDAI score)

    Sarcoidosis activity for all organs will be evaluted using Score Sarcoidosis disease activity index (SDAI score) : it goes from 0 to 167 (the higher the score, the greater the disease activity).

    Measured: at 16 weeks

  8. Sarcoidosis activity score evaluated for other organs using Score Sarcoidosis disease activity index (SDAI score)

    Sarcoidosis activity for all organs will be evaluted using Score Sarcoidosis disease activity index (SDAI score) : it goes from 0 to 167 (the higher the score, the greater the disease activity).

    Measured: at 12 months

  9. Pulmonary Sarcoidosis activity

    Pulmonary Sarcoidosis activity will be assessed using Abbreviated CT score to quantify disease activity in pulmonary sarcoidosis (aCTAS score) to assess pulmonary involvement. It goes from 0 to 4 (the higher the score, the greater the pulmonary disease activity).

    Measured: at week 16

  10. Pulmonary Sarcoidosis activity

    Pulmonary Sarcoidosis activity will be assessed using Abbreviated CT score to quantify disease activity in pulmonary sarcoidosis (aCTAS score) to assess pulmonary involvement. It goes from 0 to 4 (the higher the score, the greater the pulmonary disease activity).

    Measured: at 12 months

    Measured: at week 16

  13. Pulmonary sarcoidosis functionnal evaluation assessed by walking perimeter

    Pulmonary sarcoidosis functionnal evaluation will be assessed by walking perimeter (in meters)

    Measured: at week 16

  14. Pulmonary sarcoidosis functionnal evaluation assessed by walking perimeter

    Pulmonary sarcoidosis functionnal evaluation will be assessed by walking perimeter (in meters)

    Measured: at 12 months

  15. Percentage of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

  16. Evaluate CD68, phospho-mTOR and phospho-p70S6K expression on skin biopsies

    Immunohistochemical assessment will be assessed using optical microscopy

    Measured: at 16 weeks

  17. Transcriptomic analysis of skin

    It will be assessed using microarray (Affymetrix)

    Measured: at 16 weeks

  18. Circulating monocytes

    It will be assessed using microarray (Affymetrix)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus in people with Sarcoidosis and Cutaneous Sarcoidosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jean-David Bouaziz, Pr (+331 42 49 43 91, jean-david.bouaziz@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with a significant clinical response (time frame: at week 16). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2022.
