Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease that causes the formation of granulomas—small lumps or nodules. Although it primarily affects the lungs, it can involve multiple organs, including the eyes, skin, liver, kidneys, brain, and heart. Sarcoidosis has no cure, and its treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the affected organs. Oral corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are the first-line treatment for sarcoidosis. When corticosteroids are not effective or cause side effects, immunosuppressive agents like methotrexate, azathioprine, and leflunomide are usually prescribed. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors such as infliximab and adalimumab are used as third-line therapy. Several therapies are in the pipeline for sarcoidosis, including efzofitimod (aTyr Pharma), XTMAB-16 (Xentria), and namilumab (Kinevant Sciences). This report offers insight from real-world claims data into prescribing trends in sarcoidosis to help developers better understand current treatment and define the market niche for emerging products.
