E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with ustekinumab or golimumab in subjects with chronic sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement despite current therapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate the safety of ustekinumab or golimumab in subjects with chronic sarcoidosis with pulmonary and/or skin involvement
2. To evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab or golimumab in improving the symptoms, functional capacity, and patient reported outcomes at Week 28 in subjects with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis who are symptomatic despite current treatment
3. To evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab or golimumab in improving the symptoms and patient reported outcomes at Week 28 in subjects with skin manifestations of chronic sarcoidosis who are symptomatic despite current treatment
4. To assess the ability to taper off of OCS in subjects with chronic pulmonary and/or skin sarcoidosis who are symptomatic despite current OCS treatment
5. To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ustekinumab or golimumab in subjects with chronic sarcoidosis with pulmonary and/or skin involvement

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Patients must have sarcoidosis with onset date of >=2 years prior to screening with at least 1 of the following: a. pulmonary sarcoidosis defined as 1) a diagnosis of sarcoidosis with evidence of lung parenchymal disease (Stage II, III or IV on chest radiograph), and 2) an FVC of >=45% and <=80% of predicted normal value at screening, and 3) an MRC dyspnea score of >2 at screening, and 4) a 6 minute walk distance between 100 to 550 meters at screening, and 5) <=15% absolute change in percent-predicted FVC at baseline relative to screening AND/OR b. skin sarcoidosis defined as 1) active chronic skin lesions for >=3 months either on face or elsewhere on body that have not resolved on current systemic and/or local therapy, and 2) have either: a single lesion of >=2 cm in longest dimension or multiple (3 or more) lesions with at least 1 lesion having a longest dimension of >=1 cm, and 3) have an SPGA score >=2 at screening - have been receiving treatment with oral corticosteroids and/or 1 or more immunomodulators for >=3-month period immediately prior to screening - on a stable dose of thesemedications for >=4 weeks before screening |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Have a diagnosis of other significant respiratory disorder other than sarcoidosis that would complicate the evaluation of response to treatment - Have a smoking history of >=20 pack years - Have used an investigational drug within 1 month prior to screening or within 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer - have received previous administration of a treatment with any other therapeutic agent targeted at reducing TNFalpha within 6 months or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer, prior to screening - Patients who have previously received biologic anti-TNFalpha agents outside of the above period are allowed to enter the study - Have previously used cyclophosphamide - Have previously used or received local therapy (including local injections) within 3 months before the screening visit or used or received treatment with prescription topical creams within 1 month before the screening visit for treatment of sarcoidosis skin lesions - Have used any therapeutic agent targeted at reducing IL-12 and/or IL-23, including but not limited to, ustekinumab and briakinumab within 6 months or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer, prior to the screening visit - have received natalizumab or agents that deplete or modulate the activity of B cells or T cells within 12 months of screening, or, if after receiving these agents, evidence is available at screening of persistent depletion of the targeted lymphocyte population - have used any antibody (monoclonal or polyclonal) or antibody-based agents <= 6 months or within 5 half-lives of the biologic prior to the screening visit, whichever is longer |
