Study summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a prospective cohort of patients with and without cardiac sarcoidosis as well as active and inactive disease to develop a prospective biobank from which exosome analysis of peripheral blood will derive unique biomarkers of disease activity in cardiac sarcoidosis.

Study population

Patients referred to the Cardiac Sarcoid Clinic with a clinical suspicion or a previously confirmed diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults ≥18 years.
  • Patients referred to the Cardiac Sarcoid Clinic with a clinical suspicion or a previously confirmed diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis.
  • Undergoing FDG-PET as part of standard care.
  • Ability to provide .

Exclusion criteria

  • Inability to provide .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2028, 24 months after the start.

Of 59 non-industry observational studies under Sarcoidosis, half reached primary completion within 49 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 111. This study's planned 24 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 59 studies reached it within 49 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 111.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
