- Immune thrombocytopenic purpura
Dosing
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura Initiate at 36 mg orally once daily (18 mg for East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry or hepatic impairment; 9 mg for both); adjust in 18-mg increments to maintain platelet count >=50 x 10^9/L; maximum 54 mg daily.
Hepatitis C, Chronic Initiate at 18 mg orally once daily; adjust in 18-mg increments every 2 weeks to achieve platelet count needed to initiate or maintain pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy; maximum 72 mg daily; discontinue when antiviral therapy is discontinued.
Severe Aplastic Anemia Initiate at 36 mg orally once daily (18 mg for East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry or hepatic impairment); adjust in 36-mg increments every 2 weeks to maintain platelet count >=50 x 10^9/L; maximum 108 mg daily.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura Initiate at 100 mg orally twice daily; after 4 weeks, increase to 150 mg twice daily if platelet count has not reached at least 50 x 10 9 /L; use the lowest dose to maintain platelet count at least 50 x 10 9 /L; discontinue after 12 weeks if platelet count does not increase sufficiently to avoid clinically important bleeding.

Pharmacology
Eltrombopag is a TPO-receptor agonist that interacts with the transmembrane domain of the human TPO-receptor (cMpl), initiating signaling cascades that induce proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes, leading to increased platelet production.
Fostamatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with demonstrated activity against spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK); its major active metabolite R406 inhibits signal transduction of Fc-activating receptors and B-cell receptor, reducing antibody-mediated destruction of platelets.
