Résumé

Methotrexate (MTX), a folate antagonist, is often used as second-line treatment in patients with sarcoidosis. Effectiveness of MTX has large inter-patient variability and at present therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of MTX is not possible. Upon administration, MTX is actively transported into cells and metabolized to its active forms by adding glutamate residues forming MTXPG We retrospectively included patients with sarcoidosis that had started on MTX therapy and from whom blood samples and FDG-PET/CT were available 3 and 6-12 months after MTX initiation, respectively. FDG-uptake was measured by SUVmax in the heart, lungs and thoracic lymph nodes. Changes in SUVmax was used to determine anti-inflammatory response after 6-12 months of MTX therapy. MTXPG We included 42 sarcoidosis patients treated with MTX (15 mg/week); 31 with cardiac sarcoidosis and 11 with pulmonary sarcoidosis. In MTXPG These results suggest a relation between MTXPG
