RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

Efficacy and Safety Study of OATD-01 in Patients With Active Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a 12-week Administration of OATD-01, an Oral Inhibitor of Chitinase-1 (CHIT1), for the Treatment of Active Pulmonary Sarcoidosis (the KITE Study)

Efficacy and Safety Study of OATD-01 in Patients With Active Pulmonary Sarcoidosis (NCT06205121) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Pulmonary Sarcoidosis, sponsored by Molecure S.A.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, Pharmacodynamics (PD), and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of OATD-01 in the treatment of subjects with active pulmonary sarcoidosis.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Pulmonary Sarcoidosis and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 96 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Pulmonary Sarcoidosis subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Male and female subjects with active symptomatic pulmonary sarcoidosis, (definite diagnosis of active pulmonary sarcoidosis per ATS guidelines) - Treatment-naïve or previously treated (no recruitment cap) - Parenchymal pulmonary involvement on \[18F\]FDG PET/CT Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Requirement for immediate start of standard of care therapy for pulmonary sarcoidosis - Active cardiac or neuro- sarcoidosis - History of/active Löfgren syndrome - Clinically significant lung disease other than sarcoidosis (e.g. tuberculosis, asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer) or any current inflammatory or immunological systemic disease other than sarcoidosis - Potentially effective systemic or inhaled pharmacological (including investigational) therapy for sarcoidosis (whether pulmonary or other disease), with the exception of any of the following: 1. corticosteroids received not later than 3 months prior to enrolment 2. immunosuppressants or anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) agents (or other anti-inflammatory/anti-fibrotic treatment) received not later than 4 months prior to enrolment - Systemic treatment indication being an extrapulmonary location of sarcoidosis (e.g., neurological) - Heart conditions: QTcF interval prolongation, cardiac arrhythmia (other than non-sustained supraventricular arrhythmia), heart failure (New York Heart Association class III or IV) and/or known myocardial hypertrophy or Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction \<50% in the cardiac MRI - Known neurosarcoidosis or small fiber neuropathy or medical conditions causing primary ataxia - Lab abnormalities: Abnormal bilirubin, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Creatinine clearance (CrCL) Hypokalemia hypocalcemia (\<2.1 mmol/L), marked fasting hyperglycemia at screening ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06205121), the sponsor (Molecure S.A.), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
