  1. a Adverse events (AE) were recorded until 28 days after treatment interruption with any AE not resolved at the death of the patients recorded as an AE leading to death. TEAE: Treatment-emergent adverse event leading to permanent discontinuation excluding death. TRAE treatment-related adverse event leading to permanent discontinuation excluding death. b TRAE according to severity. M3.0 masitinib treatment-arm from the masitinib 3.0 mg/kg/day parallel group, M4.5 masitinib treatment-arm from the masitinib 4.5 mg/kg/day parallel group, tM6.0 masitinib treatment-arm from the titrated 6.0 mg/kg/day parallel group, PBO placebo, IRR incidence rate ratio for given masitinib cohort as compared with pooled placebo cohort (estimated as incidence rates of masitinib divided by pooled placebo)
