Study Overview

Brief Summary

The treatment of systemic mastocytosis has two main axes:

  • Control of mast cell activation symptoms and
  • The control of proliferation (accumulation) of mast cells.

There is no standard treatment and no treatment has a marketing authorization for the treatment of monoclonal indolent mastocytosis.

Detailed Description

Mastocytosis is an orphan disease related to the accumulation and / or the proliferation of abnormal mast cells in different tissues.

In adults, a classic distinction is made between isolated cutaneous forms (10 to 15%) and systemic forms (85 to 90%).

The treatment of systemic mastocytosis has two main axes:

  • Control of mast cell activation symptoms and
  • The control of proliferation (accumulation) of mast cells.

There is no standard treatment and no treatment has a marketing authorization for the treatment of monoclonal indolent mastocytosis.

Arms & Interventions

Treatment

Experimental

Patients will be treated by hydroxychloroquine at a dose of 6 to 6.5mg/kg/day

Intervention: Hydroxychloroquine (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change of mast cell activation symptoms

Time Frame: 12 month

The primary endpoint of this study is the change of mast cell activation symptoms as flushes between the start of treatment and 12 months later. The skin flush will be evaluated according to the absolute number of flushes / week at each visit

Secondary Outcomes

  • Difference on mast cell burden - serum tryptase level(12 month)
  • Difference on skin mast cell burden - mast cells/mm²(12 month)
  • Difference of mast cell activation symptoms : arthralgia(12 month)
  • Difference of mast cell activation symptoms : diarrhea(12 month)
  • Difference of mast cell activation symptoms : discomfort(12 month)
  • The safety of hydroxychloroquine treatment.(12 month)
  • Difference of mast cell activation symptoms : pollakiuria(12 month)
  • effectiveness of treatment(12 month)
