Targeted failure. Post No 34-35. Fostamatinib and tabalumab

More details regarding failures are here and here.
The fact that mAb tabalumab failed was more or less expected due to mAb’s hype is on its way down. But chances to fail for fostamatinib were lower. Of course fostamatinib is a result of the targeted approach with a sexy “scientific” background:
File:Fostamatinib.svgFostamatinib is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of a variety of diseases. The drug is administered orally as a disodium salt, and is a prodrug of the active compound tamatinib (R-406), which is an inhibitor of the enzyme spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk).
Well, what targeted failure will come next?
