Fostamatinib is an orally administered prodrug that is rapidly converted to its active metabolite, R406. It acts as a spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor and is primarily indicated for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in adults. Fostamatinib was approved by the FDA in 2018 for this purpose and is currently used in clinical practice.
