The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with docetaxel and prednisone with respect to placebo in combination with docetaxel and prednisone in the treatment of first line metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC). Approximately 580 patients will be randomized in 2 groups with a ratio 1:1. The primary outcome measure is progression free survival. Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment.
