New drug aims to boost immune cells in rare blood disorder
NCT ID NCT06056297
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests whether the drug mavorixafor can reduce serious infections and increase neutrophil levels in people with chronic neutropenia—a condition where the body doesn't make enough infection-fighting white blood cells. About 176 participants will receive either mavorixafor or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug safely lowers infection rates and improves blood cell counts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mavorixafor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, mavorixafor could become a new treatment option to reduce serious infections and improve quality of life for people with chronic neutropenia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not guaranteed. The drug may not work for all types of neutropenia, and side effects are possible. Success depends on showing clear benefit over placebo.
Why investors are watching
X4 Pharmaceuticals is running a phase 3 trial of its drug mavorixafor in 176 people with chronic neutropenic disorders, conditions where the body has too few infection-fighting white blood cells. For a micro-cap company, this late-stage readout is a central test of whether the drug works and can reach the market, so the outcome will heavily shape the company's future.
If it works: If the trial shows mavorixafor raises neutrophil levels and reduces infections, X4 could gain a path to regulatory approval and its first commercial product. That result would validate the drug's value for a patient group with few treatment options.
If it fails: Phase 3 trials often fail, and a negative or delayed result could leave X4 without a clear path forward, hurting its ability to fund further development. The company's small size means it has limited room to absorb a setback.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorder ≥6 months prior to the screening visit that is not attributable to medications, active or recent infections or malignancy. * Congenital Neutropenia, including but not limited to these classifications: 1. Isolated with a permanent (non-cyclic) presentation, for example, elastase, neutrophil expressed (ELANE), colony stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R), C-X-C chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) 2. Associated with extra-hematologic manifestations, for example, Barth syndrome, Cohen syndrome, glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 3 (G6PC3), Kostmann disease 3. Associated with metabolic disorders, for example, glycogen storage disease 1b (GSD1b) 4. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome * Acquired Primary Neutropenia 1. Chronic idiopathic neutropenia 2. Primary autoimmune neutropenia. Other chronic neutropenia (CN) disorders that may be eligible for enrollment can be clarified and approved upon discussion with study Medical Monitor. * Have an ANC \<1000 cells/µL during screening (single ANC value from hematology) and confirmed trough mean ANC (mean value of multiple ANC measurements over 6 hours) at baseline visit, with no clinical evidence of systemic infection. * Prior history of recurrent and/or serious infections during the 12 months preceding the screening visit (that is, suffering sequelae of chronic neutropenia), as defined by having at least 2 infections in the last 12 months that meet the following criteria: * Infection requiring the use of antibiotics (intravenous \[IV\]/oral); OR * Infection requiring a visit to healthcare facility (including but not limited to emergency room visit, urgent care facility, primary care physician's office, or in-patient hospitalization); AND for all potential participants: * Infections considered by the Investigator to be likely related to the potential participant's CN disorder. * Participants who are on G-CSF or other active background therapy must have been receiving these therapies during the previous 12 months while continuing to suffer from infections, be on a stable dose and dosing schedule for ≥4 weeks prior to screening visit and remain on this dose and dosing schedule throughout the study (unless ANC \>10,000 cells/µL for ≥4 weeks). * Participants must be willing to keep their G-CSF or other background therapy doses/regimens stable (other than for safety reasons) for the duration of the study. Key Exclusion Criteria: * A diagnosis of secondary neutropenia including those due to: 1. Hypersplenism 2. Infection 3. Malignancy 4. Autoimmune disease, for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, graft-versus-host disease, thyroid disease 5. Nutritional deficiency, for example, vitamin B12, folic acid, copper, caloric malnutrition 6. Drug-induced cause, for example, chemotherapy, clozapine, antiretrovirals, antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies. * A diagnosis of any of the following: 1. Aplastic anemia 2. Warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome 3. Certain CNs, including but not limited to these classifications are excluded: 1. Isolated with a cyclic presentation, for example, elastase, neutrophil expressed (ELANE) 2. Associated with immune dysregulation, for example, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Chédiak-Higashi syndrome, GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) deficiency syndrome 3. Associated with bone marrow failure, for example, Fanconi anemia, Diamond-Blackfan anemia 4. Neutropenia associated with a Duffy-null phenotype (formerly known as benign ethnic neutropenia). However, a participant with an autosomal dominant pathogenic variant in a gene associated with CN on a Duffy-null background may be eligible for inclusion * A medical or personal condition that may potentially compromise the safety of the participant, may preclude the participant's successful completion of the clinical study, or could, in the opinion of the Investigator or the Medical Monitor, interfere with the objectives of the study. * Received more than 1 dose of mavorixafor in the past. * Received C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) antagonist (other than mavorixafor) in the past 6 months. * Participants taking pegylated-G-CSF unless they have a diagnosis of congenital neutropenia confirmed at screening. * Participant is currently taking or has taken other investigational drug \<30 days prior to the screening visit or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
