Masitinib in First Line Treatment of Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)
Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity against wild-type c-Kit, the juxta membrane domain of c-Kit, and PDGFR. In addition to its direct inhibitory action against these kinase targets, masitinib is also thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib with respect to imatinib in the first line treatment of gastro-intestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Treatment will be given until disease progression, limiting toxicity or patient consent withdrawal.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression (date of tumor assessment documenting progressive disease assessed by CT Scan according to RECIST 1.1 and based on central review) or to death due to any cause (whichever comes first).
Time frame: From day of randomization to disease progression or death, assessed for a maximum of 96 months]
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as time in months from the randomization date to the date of death due to any cause
Time frame: From day of randomization to death, assessed for a maximum of 96 months
