Clinical Trial: Study of Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of ACZ885 (Canakinumab) in Patients With Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Study Status: Not yet recruiting
Recruit Status: Not yet recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Multiple-dose, Subject and Investigator Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Design Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of ACZ885(Canakinumab) in Patients With To compare the effect of ACZ885 versus placebo in the change between baseline and week 24 in pulmonary function as measured by spirometry.



Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Change between baseline and week 12 in pulmonary tissue inflammation as measured by [F-18]FDG-PET/CT [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    To determine the effect of ACZ885 on the change of pulmonary tissue inflammation as measured by [F-18]FDG-PET/CT from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment compared to placebo.
  • Change from baseline in other parameters of pulmonary function testing [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
    To determine the effect of ACZ885 versus placebo on other parameters of pulmonary function testing in patients with sarcoidosis at 24 weeks compared to baseline.
  • Change from baseline in High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scoring [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ]
    To determine the effect of ACZ885 versus placebo on HRCT of patients with sarcoidosis at 24 weeks compared to initial HRCT scan as measured by side-by-side comparison by blinded reviewers and HRCT scoring.
  • Change from baseline distance walked as assessed by the 6-minute walk test [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24 ]
    To determine the effect of ACZ885 versus placebo on the 6-minute walk test distance of patients with sarcoidosis at 12 and 24 weeks compared to baseline
  • Change from baseline of additional [F-18]FDG-PET outcomes [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    To determine the effect of ACZ885 on additional [F-18]FDG-PET outcomes after 12 weeks of treatment compared to placebo.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
