Understanding Sarcoidosis Progression
This study aims to better understand sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation in organs, most commonly the lungs. Researchers want to create tools to predict how sarcoidosis will progress in patients. They will do this by looking at clinical information gathered during regular doctor visits and by analyzing blood samples. The study will measure changes in your forced vital capacity (FVC), which is how much air you can exhale after a deep breath, at the beginning and after 24 months. You may be able to join if you are an adult (19 years or older) with a confirmed diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 200 participants.

What this trial measures
- Mean Change in Forced Vital Capacity in LitersBaseline and 24 months
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air in liters exhaled during a forced maneuver.
