PharmacoGenomic (PG) study:
The aim of this study is to determine the genes polymorphisms, including HLA polymorphismsn that could be associated with an increase risk of masitinib-induced severe neutropenia and severe skin toxicity. All samples will be centrally analyzed in the Institut Paoli Calmettes, department de Biopathologie, Marseille, France.

PharmacoKinetic (PK) study:
