X4 Pharmaceuticals Inc. has recently published data from 3 different posters which were presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in Georgia. You can read the full posters on their website here, but below is a brief summary of each.
Poster 1
Poster 2
The second poster (#1121) focused on mavorixafor as a therapy for those diagnosed with WHIM syndrome. It shared the findings from the extension portion of an open-label Phase 2 trial. The median duration of treatment was 148.4 weeks.
The therapy was found to be well tolerated over the long term. Additionally, there were durable raises in monocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. Improvements in warts and in infections were sustained.
Further, the higher the dose of the treatment, the lower infection rates dropped.
Patient interviews were also conducted which demonstrated the treatment was tolerated well, hospital trips decreased, and infection prevalence and duration decreased.
There is now a Phase 3 trial for WHIM syndrome which is ongoing. The primary endpoint of this trial is time above threshold for ANC. Results from this Phase 3 trial are anticipated by the last quarter of 2022. The trial will last a total of 52 weeks.
So far, this therapy remains to look like a safe, tolerable, effective therapy for WHIM syndrome.
Poster 3
The 3rd poster (#2063) examined functional analyses of different CXCR4 WHIM syndrome mutations.
The researchers found that AKT activation as well as CXCR4 internalization may be key assays to predict pathogenicity of CXCR4 variants in vitro. Additionally, all of the CXCR4 cell line variants examined were found to be sensitive to the therapy.
