SARCOIDOSIS

This study is investigating whether taking vitamin D supplements can help people with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease. Researchers will give vitamin D to some participants with low levels and a placebo to others to see if it reduces inflammation and improves lung function an…

This study aims to find out if patients with severe sarcoidosis who are in remission can safely stop their infliximab treatment. It will compare two strategies: stopping the drug versus continuing it, in 90 adults who have been stable for at least 6 months. The main goal is to se…

This study is testing a new blood marker to detect active inflammation in the heart caused by sarcoidosis. It aims to provide a simpler and safer alternative to current complex scans. The research will involve 120 participants, including people with sarcoidosis, heart attack pati…

This study is testing a new imaging technology called full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) on small tissue samples taken during lung biopsies. The goal is to see if this quick, high-resolution imaging can help doctors assess the quality of the biopsy sample in real-tim…

This study is testing whether an 8-week online mindfulness program can help reduce the severe fatigue often experienced by people with sarcoidosis. It will also see if the program improves symptoms of anxiety and depression. Researchers will compare the mindfulness group to a mon…

This study is creating a large collection of health information and biological samples from people with various rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The goal is to help researchers better understand what causes these conditions and how they progress over time. …

This study is creating a large collection of health information and biological samples from people with various scarring lung diseases. Researchers will use this 'biobank' to look for patterns, risk factors, and potential targets for future treatments. The goal is to better under…

This study aims to understand how the body's own immune cells behave in lung diseases like cancer, COPD, and sarcoidosis. Researchers will observe patients with these conditions, as well as some healthy people, to learn why some patients don't respond to modern immunotherapies. T…

This study is creating a large, private registry of health information from people living with sarcoidosis. Participants answer surveys about their symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and life with the disease, and can choose to link their medical records. The goal is to build a det…

This research study aims to better understand how the immune system works in sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and lumps called granulomas. Researchers will compare blood and tissue samples from 100 people with sarcoidosis to samples from people with tuberculosis, w…

This study aims to understand why sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease with no cure, affects people so differently. Researchers will collect samples from 5,000 people with or suspected of having sarcoidosis, plus some healthy volunteers, to study their genes, immune cells, and gu…

This study aims to create a single, large registry to collect information on many different rare diseases. It will enroll about 380 patients already being treated at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires who have one of the listed rare conditions. The goal is to gather data to be…
