The current study will determine the role of Rituximab as new agent for patients with refractory disease.
Detailed Description:
Patients with refractory pulmonary sarcoidosis will be eligible for participation in this open label trial of Rituximab as additional therapy. The study will evaluate the efficacy of rituximab in improving the symptoms and functional capacity in patients with chronic sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement who are symptomatic despite current treatment.
