New study aims to predict lung outcomes in sarcoidosis patients
NCT ID NCT05567133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is developing prediction models to forecast lung function changes in people with sarcoidosis, a condition that causes inflammation in the lungs. Researchers will collect clinical data and blood markers from 200 adults during routine clinic visits. The goal is to create tools that help doctors personalize care and anticipate pulmonary complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better tools for doctors to predict how sarcoidosis will affect a patient's lungs, helping guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The prediction models may not be accurate enough for widespread use and will need further validation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis over the age of 18 2. 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 Exclusion Criteria: 1. Inability to tolerate study procedures as determined by the investigator 2. Pregnant or breastfeeding 3. 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 4. Concurrent interstitial lung diseases such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis 5. Hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) \< 25%
