The purpose of this study is to find out if Acthar Gel is safe and effective to treat pulmonary sarcoidosis. Participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive a shot under their skin of Acthar Gel or a matching placebo gel that has no drug in it. They will receive their assigned shot twice a week for 24 weeks. All participants who complete the 24-week treatment period will be eligible to receive Acthar Gel for 24 more weeks, even if they were originally in the placebo group.
