General information

Class/mechanism: Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor. The main metabolite of fostamatinib is R406, which reduces antibody-mediated destruction of platelets. R406 also inhibits signal transduction of Fc-activating receptors and B-cell receptor.[1][2][3][4][5]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
