double-blind studies in the FIT Phase 3 clinical program for fostamatinib, an oral spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor, in
adult chronic/persistent immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). In the FIT 2 (Study 048) Phase 3 study, the fostamatinib response rate
was 18%, consistent with the recently reported FIT 1 (Study 047) Phase 3 study. In Study 048, one patient in the placebo group
(4%) achieved a stable platelet response; therefore the difference between those on treatment and those on placebo did not reach
statistical significance (p=0.152) and the study did not meet its primary endpoint. When the data from both studies are combined,
however, this difference is statistically significant (p=0.007). Sign up for your complimentary research report on RIGL at:
