Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objective is to compare the efficacy and the safety of masitinib at 3 mg/kg/day or 4.5 mg/kg/day versus placebo in the treatment of patients with severe COPD. Primary endpoint: ? Absolute change from randomisation in the 6-minutes walking distance test at Week 24;Secondary Objective: ? Absolute change from randomisation in the 6-minutes walking distance test at Week 4, 8 , 12, 18 and 24. ? Absolute change from randomisation in the post-bronchodilator FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second) at Week 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24. ? Absolute change from randomisation over 24 weeks in the weekly dose of rescue medication (salbutamol) ? Absolute change from randomisation in the TDI (Transitional Dyspnoea Index) Focal Score (i.e. change from BDI or Baseline Dyspnoea Index at randomisation [W0]) over 24 weeks of treatment ? Absolute change from randomisation in the SGRQ (Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire) at Week 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 ? Absolute change from randomisation in symptoms of cough and sputum ? Exacerbation rate (number of COPD exacerbation per patient per year) during the W0 W24 period ? Rate of Severe exacerbations defined as a need for hospitalization or emergency department visit during the W0 W24 period (etc...);Primary end point(s): Absolute change from randomisation in the 6-minutes walking distance test at Week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 WEEKS
