Placebo & BSC
Masitinib 4.5 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) for 4 weeks, given orally twice daily, with a dose escalation to 4.5 mg/kg/day for the remainder of the treatment period. Each ascending dose titration is subjected to a safety control.
Masitinib 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) for 4 weeks, given orally twice daily, with a dose escalation to 4.5 mg/kg/day for4 weeks of treatment, then a second dose escalation to 6 mg/kg/day for the remainder of the treatment period. Each ascending dose titration is subjected to a safety control.
Placebo administered as an add-on to optimal concomitant symptomatic treatment (i.e. best supportive care, BSC). Participants receive a matched dose placebo, given orally twice daily.
