The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of masitinib (AB1010) to placebo in patients with mastocytosis with handicap.
This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 study, conducted in 15 countries, evaluating the efficacy and safety of masitinib (6 mg/kg/day administered orally in two daily intakes over 24-weeks with a double-blind extension period possible) for the treatment of indolent systemic mastocytosis, smoldering mastocytosis or cutaneous mastocytosis, in patients with mast cells mediator release symptoms that are refractory to conventional symptomatic treatment. A study protocol amendment restricted enrolment to patients with severe indolent and smoldering systemic mastocytosis. The objective of this phase 3 study was therefore to evaluate masitinib efficacy and safety in severe systemic mastocytosis patients, with or without D816V mutation of c-Kit. The primary objective of the phase 3 study was to detect a statistically significant difference between masitinib (plus optimal concomitant symptomatic treatments) and placebo (plus optimal concomitant symptomatic treatments) in cumulative response on four severe symptoms, referred to also as handicaps.

Cumulative response (4R75%)
The prospectively declared primary endpoint (4R75%) was cumulative response in at least one of four severe baseline symptoms of mast cell mediator release (pruritus, flushes, depression, or asthenia). Response was defined as a 75% improvement from baseline for any of these four symptoms. Cumulative response was defined as the number of actual responses between weeks 8 and 24, divided by the total number of possible responses over the same treatment period (ie, with five scheduled visits, each patient had a maximum of five to 20 possible responses depending on the number of severe baseline symptoms).
Time frame: 24 weeks
Cumulative response (3R75%)
Cumulative response in at least one of three severe baseline symptoms (pruritus, flushes, or depression)
Time frame: 24 weeks
Cumulative response (2R75%)
Cumulative response in at least one of three severe baseline symptoms (pruritus or flushes)
Time frame: 24 weeks
