Registered outcomes19

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants Without Sarcoidosis Flare (Flare-Free Survival)Week 16 to Week 28
The primary outcome was flare-free survival of sarilumab-treated patients compared to placebo-treated controls. Patients will be considered to have flared if they receive rescue medication including increased glucocorticoids, or if they discontinue the study treatment in order to start a different therapy.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Percent PredictedBaseline and week 16
FVC is a pulmonary function test, and is defined as the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after taking a full breath. FVC% predicted is defined as FVC% of the patient divided by the average FVC% in the population for any person of similar age, sex and body composition.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Hemoglobin-corrected Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) Percent PredictedBaseline, and week 16
DLCO is a pulmonary function test, and measures the partial pressure difference between inspired and expired carbon monoxide. DLCO% predicted is defined as DLCO% of the patient divided by the average DLCO% in the population for any person of similar age, sex and body composition.
SecondaryChange in Pulmonary Function (FEV1) Percent PredictedBaseline and week 16FEV1 percent predicted is a normalized value of FEV1 calculated using the Knudson equation and based upon participant age, gender, and height.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Extrapulmonary Physician Organ Severity Tool (ePOST) Scale ScoreBaseline, week 16, and week 28
Physician and patient assessments assessed using the extrapulmonary physician organ severity tool (ePOST). Score Description: 0: Not affected 1. Slight 2. Mild 3. Moderate 4. Moderate to severe 5. Severe 6. Very Severe 17 organ domains were rated and summed to create a total score (range 0-102, higher scores correspond with more severity).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Physician Disease Activity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)Baseline, week 16, and week 28Physician rates patient's disease on a 100 mm VAS. Score range: 0 to 100, higher scores correspond to worse disease state.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Patient Disease Activity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)Baseline, week 16, and week 28Patient rates their disease on a 100 mm VAS. Score range: 0 to 100, higher scores correspond to worse disease state.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in FACIT-F Score (Fatigue Scale)Baseline, week 16, and week 28FACIT-F score Total score range: 0-52, lower scores correspond with more fatigue.
SecondaryNumber of Tender and Swollen Joints Per 68/66 Joint EvaluationBaseline, week 16, and week 28
The 66/68 Joint Count evaluates 68 joints for tenderness and pain with movement and 66 joints for swelling (hip joints can be evaluated for tenderness only, not for swelling. Joint evaluation score: 0: Absent 1: Present 9: Not applicable
SecondarySarcoidosis Activity and Severity Index for Cutaneous SarcoidosisBaseline, week 16, and week 28Sarcoidosis Activity and Severity Index evaluates 7 parameters on a 0 to 4 scale, summed for an overall scale score of 0 to 28 (higher values indicate higher activity/severity).
