Official Title: Use of Roflumilast to Prevent Exacerbations in Fibrotic Sarcoidosis Patients (REFS)
Brief Summary:
Pulmonary sarcoidosis patients with fibrosis often develop recurrent episodes of bronchitis. These can lead to worsening of disease for both the short and long term.
Roflumilast has been shown to reduce the number of acute bronchitis episodes in patients with COPD.
Drugs similar to Roflumilast have been shown to help sarcoidosis. The current study is to determine if Roflumilast will reduce number of episodes of bronchitis and help fibrotic sarcoidosis.
