Episode 41| Dr. Matt Baker is researching a promising new drug to fight sarc at Stanford University.

Dr. Matt Baker at Stanford University is studying Sarilumab also known as KEVZARA as a treatment for sarcoidosis.  Sarilumab is already approved for rheumatoid arthritis, but it's anti-inflammatory properties make it a great candidate to treat sarcoidosis as well. In this interview, Dr. Baker explains in layman's terms how Sarilumab works in your body to keep the autoimmune process from creating inflammation, which in turn causes many of the problems people suffer with sarcoidosis.
