Abstract

Chronic immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by antibody-induced platelet (PLT) destruction, leading to a reduction in the number of circulating PLTs. Initial treatment is with corticosteroids. In patients who become resistant to corticosteroids, the TPOs, consisting of romiplostim (ROM), eltrombopag (ELT) and avatrombopag (AVA) or the spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor fostamatinib (FOS), are appropriate next lines of therapy. In this study, the comparative safety and effectiveness between fostamatinib vs. the TPOs was evaluated in a real-world setting.
