Investigation of the Efficacy of Antibiotics on Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating levaquin; ethambutol; rifampin and azithromycin. for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and Lung Function. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease for which the molecular and immunologic association with mycobacteria continues to strengthen. The investigators are interested in conducting a proof-of-concept investigation of the effects of antibiotics on sarcoidosis resolution. The investigators hypothesize that pulmonary sarcoidosis will improve faster if patients are given antimycobacterial therapy, in addition to their standard therapy.

Interventions
Levaquin 750 mg loading on day 1, then 500 mg po QD Ethambutol 15-25 mg/kg for a maximum of 1200mg po QD Azithromycin 500mg on day 1, then 250 mg po QD \*\*Rifampin 10 mg/kg for a maximum of 600mg po QD or Rifabutin 10 mg/kg for a maximum of 300 mg po QD. \*\*We will not use both, but either one or the other based upon if the patient is on other medications that are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 pathway.
