Treatment for chronic neutropenia using mavorixafor
Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study of Mavorixafor in Participants With Congenital and Acquired Primary Autoimmune and Idiopathic Chronic Neutropenic Disorders Who Are Experiencing Recurrent and/or Serious Infections
Run by X4 Pharmaceuticals · NCT06056297 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new drug called mavorixafor can help people with chronic neutropenia, a condition that makes them prone to infections, by boosting their white blood cell levels and lowering infection rates.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorders for at least six months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose neutropenia is attributable to medications, active infections, or malignancy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of mavorixafor in patients with congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorders who are experiencing recurrent or serious infections. Participants will continue their current treatment regimen while receiving either mavorixafor or a placebo. The primary goal is to demonstrate clinical benefit by increasing levels of circulating neutrophils and reducing infection rates.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the frequency and severity of infections in patients with chronic neutropenia.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in treating chronic neutropenia with similar approaches, but the specific use of mavorixafor is novel.

* 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.
