NCT ID NCT06868381

First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether baricitinib, taken with a steroid-sparing medication, can reduce active inflammation in the heart caused by sarcoidosis. Ten adults with cardiac sarcoidosis will take the drug for up to 16 weeks and undergo PET scans to see if heart inflammation improves. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing management is expected.
