Evaluating OATD-01 for treating active pulmonary sarcoidosis
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a 12-week Administration of OATD-01, an Oral Inhibitor of Chitinase-1 (CHIT1), for the Treatment of Active Pulmonary Sarcoidosis (the KITE Study)
Run by Molecure S.A. · NCT06205121 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment called OATD-01 to see if it helps adults with active pulmonary sarcoidosis feel better over 12 weeks.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults with active symptomatic pulmonary sarcoidosis who are either treatment-naïve or have previously been treated but are currently untreated.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients requiring immediate standard care therapy for pulmonary sarcoidosis or those with other significant lung diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of OATD-01 in patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis. Participants, aged 18 and older, will be randomized to receive either OATD-01 or a placebo for a duration of 12 weeks. The study will utilize imaging techniques to confirm the diagnosis and will stratify participants based on their previous treatment history. The trial aims to maintain double-blind conditions throughout the treatment period to ensure unbiased results.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients suffering from active pulmonary sarcoidosis.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of OATD-01, similar studies targeting pulmonary sarcoidosis have shown promise in evaluating new treatments.
