About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria include:

  • Patient with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).
  • Patient with severe symptoms over the 14-day run-in period defined as at least one of the following: Pruritus score ≥ 9; Number of flushes per week ≥ 8; Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD-17) score ≥ 19
  • Patient with documented treatment failures of his/her handicap(s) (within last two years) with at least two of the symptomatic treatments used at optimized dose.
  • Patients must be on a stable dose of Anti-H1 for a minimum of 4 weeks before screening and should remain at a stable dose throughout the study period.

Exclusion Criteria include:

  • Previous treatment with any Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor.
  • Any change in the symptomatic treatment of MCAS, including systemic corticosteroids, or administration of any new treatment for MCAS within 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Patient with systemic indolent mastocytosis.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Arm Description

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Confirmed response at 50%
Confirmed response at 50%, defined as an improvement with respect to the baseline values of 50% for Pruritus, Flushes and Depression (HAMD-17 score) which should be confirmed from the previous visit. Handicaps at baseline defined as: pruritus score ≥ 9; number of flushes per week ≥ 8; HAMD-17 score ≥ 19.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Cumulative response
Cumulative (every patient visit) response at 75% on 3 handicaps (pruritus, flush, depression) from week 8 to week 24. Analysis will be performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model with stratification.
Confirmed response (75%)
Confirmed response at 75%, defined as an an improvement with respect to the baseline values of 75% for Pruritus, Flushes and Depression (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) which should be confirmed from the previous visit. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) has 17 items and is scored between 0 and 4 points. Scores of 0-7 are considered as being normal, 8-16 suggest mild depression, 17-23 moderate depression and scores over 24 are indicative of severe depression; the maximum score being 52.
Patient-Reported Outcome for Symptom Severity (PROSS)
Changes in MCAS symptom severity will also be assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcome for Symptom Severity (PROSS) questionnaire. Total and individual symptom scores will be determined at baseline and at every visit until Week 24.The PROSS questionnaire has 11 items and is scored between 0 and 10 points. A score of 0 is an absence of the symptom and a score of 10 is very severe; the maximum score being 110.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dosing schemes of oral masitinib versus matching placebo in the treatment of patients suffering from severe MCAS with handicap unresponsive to optimal symptomatic treatment.
Detailed Description
Multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing two different dosing schemes over a 24-week treatment period. Dosing scheme #1: Oral masitinib treatment at 3 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, then a switch to 4.5 mg/kg/day for the remainder of the treatment period, versus placebo with a matching titration scheme. Randomization 2: 1 (Masitinib MCAS: Placebo MCAS). Dosing scheme #2: Oral masitinib treatment at 3 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, then a switch to 4.5 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, then a second switch to 6 mg/kg/day for the remainder of the treatment period versus placebo treatment with a matching titration scheme. Randomization 2: 1 (Masitinib MCAS: Placebo MCAS)
