Healthy People Needed for Sarcoidosis Research
Trial Objectives
Researchers are working to understand the different symptoms of sarcoidosis in an effort to predict how the disease develops over time. Healthy participants are needed to help researchers learn more about healthy cells versus cells that are involved in the development of lung scarring diseases such as sarcoidosis. The goal is to develop new or better treatments.
