29 days
Cumulative Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Through Day 30
Up to 30 days post-intervention

The cumulative incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring through day 30 following the intervention. An SAE is defined by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines as any adverse event fulfilling at least one of the following criteria: Results in death; Is life threatening; Requires in-subject hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; Is considered an important medical event (or medically significant)

Week 4 evaluation
4 weeks

Alterations in Gene Expression Profiling, cell counts (CD3+, CD11c+, Neutrophil Elastase+, CD20+, CD138+) at Week 4 compared to

Week 12 evaluation
12 weeks

Alterations in Gene Expression Profiling, cell counts (CD3+, CD11c+, Neutrophil Elastase+, CD20+, CD138+) at Week 12 compared to Baseline

Hemoglobin response
by Week 24

Hemoglobin level of \> 10 g/dL and 2 g/dL higher than the baseline hemoglobin

Mean Change of Proteinuria as Measured by Spot Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio (sPCR) at Week 24
Baseline to 24 weeks

Mean change from Baseline (Visit 2) of proteinuria as measured by the spot Protein-Creatinine Ratio (sPCR) at 24 weeks (Visit 9) for the ITT Population

Overall Response Rate as Assessed According to the"Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma" (Cheson 2007).
Serial tumor assessments were taken at baseline (within 28 days of the start of treatment), and re-evaluated at Day 57, and every 12 weeks thereafter or to confirm response . (Maximum duration of treatment 511 days, Maximum duration of follow-up 812 Days)

Proportion of patients with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma categorises the response of the treatment of a patient's tumour to; CR: the disappearance of all evidence of disease; PR: ≥ 50% decrease in the sum of the perpendicular diameters (SPD) of the six largest dominant nodes plus no increase in the size of other nodes and no new sites of disease; Stable Disease (SD): less than a PR but not progressive disease; Relapsed Disease or PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥ 50% of previously involved sites from nadir. Primary efficacy is based on Phase II patients only.

Clinical Benefit Rate as Assessed According to the "Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma" (Cheson 2007).
Serial tumor assessments were taken at baseline (within 28 days of the start of treatment), and re-evaluated at Day 57, and every 12 weeks thereafter or to confirm response (Maximum duration of treatment 511 days, Maximum duration of follow-up 812 Days)

Proportion of patients with Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD)

Frequently asked questions about Fostamatinib

What is Fostamatinib used for?

Fostamatinib is an investigational small molecule kinase inhibitor being studied for multiple conditions, including IGA Nephropathy, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Lymphoma, Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and Covid19. It is being developed by Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RIGL) and is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials.

How does Fostamatinib work?

Fostamatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor, belonging to the -tinib class of drugs. It works by inhibiting kinase enzymes, which play a role in cellular signaling pathways. By blocking these kinases, Fostamatinib aims to modulate immune responses and reduce inflammation in the conditions it is being studied for.

Who makes Fostamatinib?

Fostamatinib is being developed by Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock ticker is RIGL. Rigel is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Fostamatinib across various indications, including respiratory and autoimmune conditions.

What phase is Fostamatinib in?

Fostamatinib is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 2 trials are evaluating its safety and efficacy in conditions such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

What clinical trials is Fostamatinib in?

Fostamatinib has been studied in several clinical trials. Completed trials include NCT00446095 for B-cell Lymphoma, NCT02612558 for Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and NCT05040698 for Hidradenitis Suppurativa. A Phase 2 trial, NCT06564207, is planned for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome but has not yet started recruiting.

Is Fostamatinib the same as Fostamatinib in combination with chemotherapy?

Fostamatinib is also known as Fostamatinib in combination with chemotherapy, specifically with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. This combination is being studied for certain cancer indications. The drug itself is the same active ingredient, but the combination regimen includes additional chemotherapy agents.
