Post-marketing safety surveillance of fostamatinib: an observational, pharmacovigilance study leveraging FAERS database

Fostamatinib, an FDA-approved oral small-molecule spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor, is used to treat thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have not responded to previous treatments. However, comprehensive safety data is lacking. This study uses the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to explore real-world adverse events (AEs) related to fostamatinib, aiming to inform its clinical use.
