BOSTON, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — X4 Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: XFOR), a company focused on improving the lives of people with rare hematology diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a corporate update.
“Our focus remains on our pivotal 4WARD trial in chronic neutropenia as we execute our strategy to deliver life-changing therapies to people living with rare blood diseases,” said Adam Craig, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Chairman of X4 Pharmaceuticals. “We have sharpened our operational focus and implemented targeted initiatives to drive continued progress in 4WARD with enrollment on track for completion in the third quarter of this year. Additionally, we were pleased to receive the positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency recommending the potential European approval of mavorixafor in WHIM syndrome, which would be the first and only therapy in Europe to treat this devastating condition.”
Recent Accomplishments and Updates
Deployed a series of proactive measures to increase enrollment in the global 4WARD Phase 3 trial of oral, once-daily mavorixafor (with or without G-CSF) in patients with congenital, acquired primary autoimmune, or idiopathic chronic neutropenia, including:
Expanding the number of current active clinical trial sites to over 100, including approximately 20 in the U.S.;
Enhancing our global Medical Affairs activities to increase Medical Science Liaison (MSL) field engagement and site interaction to educate physicians on our 4WARD trial and mavorixafor’s potential in treating chronic neutropenia;
Establishing a patient referral pathway for physicians to assist them in finding trial sites for their chronic neutropenia patients; and
Investing in database mining to identify potential participants.
European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending marketing authorization of mavorixafor the treatment of WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome in the European Union (EU). The positive opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission (EC) with a final approval decision anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
Cash runway through 2028 due to recent equity financings and operating expense reductions.

About Chronic Neutropenia and Mavorixafor
Chronic neutropenia is a primary, rare blood condition characterized by abnormally low levels of circulating neutrophils in the blood lasting more than three months, persistently or intermittently. As a result, people with chronic neutropenia are at an increased risk of serious and life-threatening infections and reduced quality of life. Neutrophils are retained in the bone marrow by the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis, creating a reserve of cells. Mavorixafor is a small molecule delivered in a capsule for oral dosing as a selective antagonist of the chemokine receptor, CXCR4. Down-regulation of the CXCR4 receptor by mavorixafor has been shown to mobilize functional neutrophils from the bone marrow into the peripheral bloodstream across multiple disease states. The level of circulating neutrophils is typically determined by the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) obtained from a blood draw.
About the 4WARD Clinical Trial
The 4WARD trial is a global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral, once-daily mavorixafor (with or without G-CSF) in patients with congenital, acquired primary autoimmune, or idiopathic chronic neutropenia who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections. The 52-week trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aiming to enroll 176 patients aged 12 years and older with confirmed trough absolute neutrophil count (ANC) levels less than 1,000 cells per microliter at baseline screening and histories of two or more serious and/or recurrent infections in the prior year. The primary endpoints of the study are the reduction in annualized infection rate and positive ANC response. For more information, visit clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06056297).
