Trial-results highlights

Clinical trials investigated fostamatinib for rheumatoid arthritis and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

For rheumatoid arthritis, the OSKIRA-1 study (NCT01197521) evaluated change from baseline to week 24 in modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS). The mean change was 1.29 Units for the fostamatinib 100 mg BID (4 weeks) then 150 mg QD PO arm, 0.45 Units for the fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm, and 0.13 Units for the placebo (24 weeks) then fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm. In the same study, the proportion of patients with ACR20 at week 24 was 44.4% for the fostamatinib 100 mg BID (4 weeks) then 150 mg QD PO arm, 49.0% for the fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm, and 34.2% for the placebo (24 weeks) then fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm.

Other studies also assessed ACR20 at week 24. In OSKIRA-2 (NCT01197534), 39.6% of patients in both the fostamatinib 100 mg BID (4 weeks) then 150 mg QD PO arm and the fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm achieved ACR20, compared to 24.5% in the placebo (24 weeks) then fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm. In OSKIRA-3 (NCT01197755), 27.8% of patients in the fostamatinib 100 mg BID (4 weeks) then 150 mg QD PO arm achieved ACR20, 36.2% in the fostamatinib 100 mg BID PO arm, and 21.1% in the placebo PO arm.

For idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), the FIT study (NCT02076399) reported that 9 participants in the fostamatinib recipient arm had a stable platelet response (count of ≥50,000/µL on at least 4 of the last 6 scheduled visits between weeks 14 and 24), compared to 0 participants in the placebo recipient arm. Another FIT study (NCT02076412) found that 9 participants in the fostamatinib recipient arm achieved a stable platelet response of at least 50,000/µL from baseline to week 24, versus 1 participant in the placebo recipient arm. In a separate study (NCT02077192), 15.4% of subjects in the fostamatinib disodium arm achieved a platelet count of at least 50,000/µL within 12 weeks of beginning treatment up to 12 months.
