ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Sarcoidosis is a pulmonary and systemic granulomatous disease with a wide range of potential outcomes, from spontaneous resolution to end-stage organ damage and death. Currently, clinicians have no easy-to-use risk stratification tools for important clinical outcomes in sarcoidosis, such as progressive lung disease. This study will address two clinical practice needs (1) development of a risk calculator that provides an estimate of the likelihood of pulmonary progression in sarcoidosis patients during the follow-up period and (2) determine the optimal interval for serial clinical monitoring (eg, 6, 12, 18 months) using these risk prediction tools. METHODS ANDANALYSIS:
The Risk Indicators of Sarcoidosis Evolution-Unified Protocol study is a National Institutes of Health-sponsored, longitudinal observational study of adults with pulmonary sarcoidosis who will be enrolled at five US tertiary care centres. Participants will be evaluated at approximately 6-month intervals for up to 60 months with collection of lung function, blood samples and clinical data. The target sample size is 557 and the primary objective is to determine which clinical features measured during a routine clinic visit carry the most prognostic information for predicting clinical progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis over the follow-up period. The primary outcome measure will be quantified by a clinically meaningful change in forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide. The secondary objective is to determine if blood biomarkers measured during a routine clinic visit can improve the risk assessment modelling for progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis over the follow-up period. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Boards at each centre and the reliance Institutional Review Board overseeing the study (WCG, Protocol #20222400). Participants will provide informed consent prior to enrolment. Results will be disseminated via publication in a relevant peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05567133.Palabras clave
