Effects of Fostamatinib on the Pharmacokinetics of Oral Contraceptive, Warfarin, and the Statins Rosuvastatin and Simvastatin: Results From Phase I Clinical Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Fostamatinib is a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been investigated as therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. The present studies assessed the potential for pharmacokinetic interaction between fostamatinib and the commonly prescribed medications oral contraceptive (OC), warfarin, and statins (rosuvastatin, simvastatin) in healthy subjects.

Methods

The OC study was a crossover study over two 28-day treatment periods (Microgynon(®) 30 plus placebo or fostamatinib). Concentrations of OC constituents (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) were measured. Effects on warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were assessed (21-day study). Warfarin was administered on days 1 and 14, fostamatinib on days 8-20. The sta
