Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: adults who meet criteria for the diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis

Who may be able to join

  • Adults with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis over the age of 18
  • Case definition: we will follow the 1999 statement on sarcoidosis published by the American Thoracic Society for diagnosis which includes tissue biopsy confirmation and exclusion of alternative diagnoses including beryllium sensitization/chronic beryllium disease, mycobacterial, viral, and/or fungal infection

Who cannot join

  • Inability to tolerate study procedures as determined by the investigator
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Concurrent medical diagnoses that would influence the expression of biomarkers will be considered an exclusion criterion. This includes diseases such as common variable immunodeficiency, HIV infection, or autoimmune diseases
  • Concurrent interstitial lung diseases such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • Hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) < 25%

About this study

Official title: Development of Clinical Prediction Models for Pulmonary Outcomes in Sarcoidosis

The purpose of this study is to develop prediction models that can prognosticate patients with sarcoidosis using clinical data and blood markers that can be obtained during a clinic visit.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to develop prediction models that can prognosticate patients with sarcoidosis using clinical data and biological markers that can be obtained during a clinic visit.

Primary Aim/Objective The primary objective of this study is to determine which clinical features measured during a routine clinic visit are risk factors for progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis over the follow-up period in adults with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Secondary Aim/Objectives The secondary objective is to determine if blood biomarkers measured during a routine clinic visit can improve the risk assessment for progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis over the follow-up period.

The investigators will measure two types of blood markers to achieve this goal:

  • Clinically available blood markers that are available in most clinical labs
  • Blood proteins and gene expression that reflect interferon inflammation and are not currently available as tests in clinical labs
Keywords
sarcoid, lung, immune
Medical subject headings
Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary, Sarcoidosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in Forced Vital Capacity in Liters

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air in liters exhaled during a forced maneuver.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary, run by University of California, San Francisco at 2 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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 Laura Koth (4155144369, laura.koth@ucsf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Change in Forced Vital Capacity in Liters (time frame: Baseline and 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05567133, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 5 Nov 2026.
