Sarcoidosis (synonyms include Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease and Boeck sarcoid) is defined in the packet as a multisystemic disorder of unknown cause characterized by the formation of immune granulomas in involved organs. The packet records Orphanet:797 and GARD:7607. Its prevalence field carries the category COMMON with an estimate of 1-5 in 10,000; the population, geography, and measure type are not specified. Listed subtypes or related entities include pulmonary, cardiac, skin, neurologic, and hypercalcemic sarcoidosis, Löfgren syndrome, uveoparotid fever, and Blau syndrome.
The packet contains no phenotype annotations (total phenotype count 0), no age-of-onset data, and no GeneReviews clinical description. The only characteristic finding it certifies is immune granuloma formation in involved organs across multiple organ systems. A detailed symptom profile is not certified in this packet.
The packet's definition describes sarcoidosis as a disorder of unknown cause. No genes, inheritance pattern, or molecular mechanism are supplied, so its genetic basis and other contributors are not certified in this packet.
The packet supplies no diagnostic criteria or test list. The only diagnosis-related item is an FDA orphan-drug record for nitric oxide (SensorMedics Corporation) with the indication 'Diagnosis of sarcoidosis' and status DESIGNATED, which is not a marketing approval. Diagnostic approaches are otherwise not certified in this packet.
The packet lists no FDA-approved treatments for sarcoidosis, so no current FDA-approved option is identified here. It lists FDA orphan-drug designations (status DESIGNATED, which is not approval) for sarcoidosis, including alidornase alfa, dornase alfa, aviptadil, clindamycin hydrochloride, minocycline hydrochloride, sirolimus, and thymopentin. A designation for golimumab carries the status WITHDRAWN. Other management approaches are not certified in this packet.
81 trials found
The packet contains no natural-history, outcome, or survival information. Prognosis is not certified in this packet.
ClinicalTrials.gov data in the packet count 72 active trials for sarcoidosis and detail ten. Examples include brepocitinib in cutaneous sarcoidosis (NCT06978725, Phase 2, recruiting, Priovant Therapeutics), OATD-01 in active pulmonary sarcoidosis (NCT06205121, Phase 2, recruiting, Molecure S.A.), XTMAB-16 in pulmonary sarcoidosis (NCT07680166, Phase 2, not yet recruiting, Xentria), and tulisokibart in pulmonary sarcoidosis (NCT07867938, Phase 2, not yet recruiting, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC). A cardiac sarcoidosis multi-center prospective cohort (NCT01477359, Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation) is also listed. Trial titles do not establish the interventions tested. The packet's publication digest classifies 840 publications, most commonly case reports and case series.
