Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral masitinib versus placebo in the treatment of patients suffering from smouldering or indolent systemic mastocytosis with severe symptoms of mast cell mediator release, unresponsive to optimal symptomatic treatment.

- description
- Experimental Arm: Masitinib (titration to 6.0 mg/kg/day) administered as an add-on to optimal concomitant symptomatic treatment (i.e. best supportive care, BSC). Participants receive masitinib (3.0 mg/kg/day), given orally twice daily, with a dose escalation to 4.5 mg/kg/day after 4 weeks of treatment, followed by dose escalation to 6.0 mg/kg/day after 4 weeks of treatment. Each ascending dose titration is subjected to a safety control.
