Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of H.P. Acthar® Gel (Acthar) in the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary Drug: repository corticotropin injection Drug: Placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 4, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Acthar gel in the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis. All subjects who meet eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to receive either 1 mL (80 U) of Acthar or 1 mL of a matching placebo subcutaneously (SC) 2 x/week. Subjects will be assigned to treatment in a 1:1 ratio with up to 50 subjects per arm for a total of up to 100 subjects. Subjects who complete the 24 week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period will be eligible to continue in an optional 24 week open label extension.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Response will be evaluated by Sarcoidosis Treatment Score (STS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 weeks ]
    STS is an exploratory newly developed composite score that combines the results of pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity; diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide), high-resolution computed tomography, Quality of life (King's Sarcoidosis Questionnaire; Fatigue Assessment Scale) and corticosteroid tapering.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 90 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject with biopsy confirmed sarcoidosis meeting American Thoracic Society criteria ≥ 1 year at screening (Visit 1).

  • Symptomatic pulmonary disease defined as any one of the following criteria for pulmonary function test (PFT); imaging; steroid dose; or symptoms:

    1. Decrease ≥ 5% absolute change of % predicted in the best available FVC within the past 2 years.
    2. Decrease ≥ 5% absolute change of % predicted in the best available DLCO within the past 2 years.
    3. Radiographic progression in chest imaging on side by side comparison within the past 2 years.
    4. Progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis necessitating increase in antisarcoidosis therapy in the past 2 years.
    5. Dyspnea with Medical Research Council Scale of ≥ 1 at screening (Visit 1).
  • Subject receiving ≥ 5 mg and ≤ 40 mg prednisone (or equivalent) for pulmonary sarcoidosis.
  • Stable prednisone dose ≥ 4 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Subjects treated with any disease modifying antisarcoidosis drugs (eg, methotrexate) must be on stable dose for ≥ 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1).
  • Forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥ 45% ≤ 95% predicted.
  • Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥ 30%.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any difference >10% in FVC on spirometry between the determination at screening (Visit 1) and the determination at Visit 2.
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension requiring or receiving treatment.
  • Extra pulmonary involvement that per the Investigator's evaluation requires treatment that would impede corticosteroid tapering for pulmonary involvement.
  • Treatment with antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody (eg, infliximab, adalimumab) in prior 3 months.
