Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of patients with a significant clinical response
Significant clinical response will be defined as a relative decrease in "facial SASI" ≥ 25% compared to baseline.
Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Percentage of patients with a good clinical response
A good clinical response will be defined as a relative decrease of "facial SASI" ≥ 50%.
Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.
Percentage of patients with complete clinical response
Complete clinical response will be defined as "facial SASI" = 0. Facial SASI score evaluates 4 features for each of 4 facial quadrants and the nose: erythema, induration, and desquamation, each ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), and an area score ranging from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). The maximal range of modified Facial SASI scores is 0 to 72.
Percentage of patients with an improvement of their quality of dermatological life
An improvement will be defined as a decrease of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire> 25%. DLQI goes from 0 to 30. A lower score indicated a good quality of Life, and a higher score a worse quality of life.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease of unknown etiology characterized by the presence of epithelioid granulomas without caseous necrosis in the organs involved. Sarcoidosis cutaneous lesions can be severe. There is no recommendation for the treatment of cutaneous sarcoidosis. A recent study highlights the potential efficacy of mTOR inhibitors in the treatment of sarcoidosis granulomas. The hypothesis is that sirolimus could be effective for sarcoidosis treatment, especially for cutaneous lesions.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate sirolimus efficacy on cutaneous sarcoidosis of the face.
The main evaluation criteria is the percentage of patients with a significant clinical response (relative decrease in "facial SASI" ≥ 25%) at week 16 of treatment.
