Study Summary

The objective is this study is to test whether use of Acthar gel in the context of sarcoidosis will lead to improved symptoms and lung function and correlate with decreased levels of predictive blood biomarkers, like chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9).

Primary Outcome

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was used to measure the gene expression for the gene CXCL9 using whole blood samples. The change in cycle threshold from before starting medication to the end of treatment was calculated. From this calculation, the number of participants that met the criteria of a 50% or greater drop in CXCL9 levels is reported.
