Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Forced Vital Capacity [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Change in forced vital capacity, % of predicted, between CMK389 and placebo.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Composite index of pulmonary physiology and exercise capacity [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Relative reduction in forced volume capacity ≥ 10% or relative reduction in forced expiratory volume in one second ≥ 10% or relative reduction of diffusion capacity ≥ 15% or relative reduction of 6-minute walk distance ≥ 50 meters.

  2. [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Change in imaging maximum standardized uptake value and mean standardized uptake value.

  3. Pulmonary physiology [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Change in forced expiratory volume in one second and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide.

  4. Steroid use (mg days) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Difference in steroid usage for each arm of the study.

  5. Exercise capacity [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    Change in 6-minute walk distance.

  6. Pharmacokinetics of CMK389 maximum concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Week 28 ]
    The observed maximum plasma concentration (Cmax/end of infusion) [mass / volume].

  7. Pharmacokinetics of CMK389 trough concentration (Ctrough) [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Week 28 ]
    The lowest concentration of drug (Ctrough) reached before the next dose is administered.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have a body mass index (BMI) at screening within the range of 18 - 46 kg/m2. BMI = Body weight (kg) / [Height (m)]2
  • Biopsy proven pulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed > 1 year prior to screening
  • Scadding stage II, III or IV as determined by the most recent chest x-ray obtained within 12 months prior to screening or at screening (confirmed by the Investigator)
  • HRCT extent of fibrosis <20% (confirmed by the central imaging reader) at screening
  • Treatment with 5-15 mg/day prednisone (or prednisone oral equivalents) for ≥ 6 months prior to screening.
  • Co-medication with methotrexate or azathioprine for ≥ 6 months prior to screening (Note: hydroxychloroquine is allowed as background therapy but not required)
  • Able to perform reliable, reproducible pulmonary function test maneuvers per American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of significant pulmonary hypertension (WHO group 5) requiring pharmacological treatment
  • Active cardiac sarcoidosis requiring treatment. Inactive cardiac sarcoidosis or stable cardiac sarcoidosis not requiring treatment are permissible.
  • A known diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis
  • Forced vital capacity (FVC) <50% of predicted at screening (central read)
  • Modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale ≥ 3 at screening
  • Concomitant treatment with leflunomide, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab, roflumilast, pentoxifylline, and abatacept within 12 weeks of screening
  • Prior treatment with rituximab, canakinumab, anakinra, and tocilizumab
  • Current use of any inhaled substance, including but not limited to tobacco, marijuana products and use of electronic cigarette or vaping device, and excluding inhalers or nebulizers prescribed for pulmonary sarcoidosis
  • Any conditions or significant medical problems which in the opinion of the investigator and in consultation with the sponsor, immunocompromises the patient and/or places the patient at unacceptable risk for immunomodulatory therapy
  • Contraindication to FDG-PET scan investigations such as severe claustrophobia or uncontrolled diabetes
  • History or current diagnosis of ECG abnormalities not due to Cardiac Sarcoidosis and indicating significant risk of safety for patients participating in the study
  • A diagnosis of Lofgren's syndrome
  • A history of pancreatitis

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
