What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (by chance) to 1 of 3 groups:
- Group 1: If you are in this group, you will get a 15 mg dose of the study drug. OR
- Group 2: If you are in this group, you will get a 45 mg dose of the study drug. OR
- Group 3: If you are in this group, you will get a placebo (inactive substance with no drug in it, i.e. a "sugar pill")
During your participation in this study, you will have the following tests and procedures:
- Physical exams
- Blood works
- Breathing tests
- ECG
- X-ray
- Urine testing
- Vital signs
- Completing questionnaires and diaries
While you are taking the study drug or placebo, you will have at least 5 clinic visits that last 2-3 hours each.
Because there is a chance you may receive placebo, you are allowed to stay on some of your current sarcoidosis medications while you are in the study. If you are taking corticosteroids ("steroids"), the steroid dose will be decreased. Your study doctor will assess this and discuss all medication changes with you.
During the follow-up period, you will have one clinic visit about 4 weeks after your last dose of the study drug that will last about 2 hours.
