• Patients must have chronic cutaneous skin lesions while taking chronic therapy (corticosteroids, methotrexate (max 10mg/week), azathioprine, hydroxychloroquine, cyclophosphamide, minocycline, doxycycline and chloroquine), in which the dose has not been altered in the three months prior to starting the study.
• Must have two visits within the previous 1-6 months (at least one month apart) with stable skin lesions, such as a SASI score was within one point for each of the features of the lesion.

• Must meet the following laboratory criteria:

  • Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL
  • Hematocrit ≥ 27%
  • White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3000 (≥ 3.0 X 109/L) and < 20,000 (< 20 X 109/L)
  • Neutrophils ≥ 1500 (≥ 1.5 X 109/L)
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000 (≥ 100 X 109/L)
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL (≤ 132.6 μmol/L)
  • Total bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dL
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST [serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, SGOT]) and alanine transaminase (ALT [serum glutamate pyruvic transaminase, SGPT]) < 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Females of childbearing potential (FCBP)‡ must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening (Visit 1). In addition, sexually active FCBP must agree to use TWO of the following adequate forms of contraception while on study medication: oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptives; tubal ligation; intrauterine device; barrier contraceptive or vasectomized partner. A FCBP must agree to have pregnancy tests every 28 days while on study medication.
• Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must agree to use barrier contraception (latex condoms) when engaging in sexual activity with FCBP while on study medication and for 84 days after taking the last dose of study medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, pulmonary, neurologic, psychiatric, hepatic, renal, hematologic, immunologic, or other major diseases (not including pulmonary sarcoidosis)
• Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study
• Pregnant or lactating female
• History of active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (any subspecies) within 3 years prior to the screening visit. Infections that occurred > 3 years prior to entry must have been effectively treated.
• History of incompletely treated latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (as indicated by a positive Purified Protein Derivative [PPD] skin test or in vitro test [T-SPOT®.TB, QuantiFERON Gold®].
• Clinically significant abnormality on the chest x-ray (CXR) at screening not due to sarcoidosis
• Use of any investigational medication within 28 days.
• Any clinically significant abnormality on 12-lead ECG at screening
• Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C laboratory test result indicating active infection at screening
• History of malignancy within previous 5 years (except for treated basal-cell skin carcinoma(s) and/or fewer than 3 treated squamous-cell skin carcinomas)
• Use of infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, pentoxifylline, or thalidomide in the prior three months.
