Real-World Use of Fostamatinib in Patients with Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombotic Risk.

Patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are at increased risk for bleeding and are paradoxically at increased risk for thrombosis. Many patients with ITP have underlying cardiovascular (CV) disease and/or other thrombotic risk factors for which considerable attention to selecting a therapeutic agent to manage ITP is needed. Fostamatinib, a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, may reduce the risk of thrombosis while not interfering with hemostasis.
