5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The study objective is to compare the efficacy and the safety of masitinib at 6 mg/kg/day versus placebo in the treatment of patients with Severe Persistent Asthma treated with oral corticosteroids.
Detailed Description
Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It is known that activation of inflammatory cells, such as mast cells, and fibrous tissue remodeling are associated with c-Kit, Lyn and PDGFR kinase signaling pathways; all key targets of masitinib. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib at 6 mg/kg/day versus matched placebo in severe persistent asthma patients that is uncontrolled with oral corticosteroids. The primary outcome measure will be severe asthma exacerbation rate over duration of the treatment.
