XFOR Profile
X4 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical firm dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics targeting rare diseases. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company was founded in 2010 and has since focused on harnessing its expertise to address unmet medical needs in complex and underserved areas. X4 Pharmaceuticals is known for its development of small molecule inhibitors that target key signaling pathways involved in disease pathogenesis.
The company's flagship product candidate, mavorixafor, is a small molecule inhibitor of the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4). Mavorixafor is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy in treating patients with warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis syndrome. Additionally, it is in Phase Ib trials for chronic neutropenia and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. This dual-stage approach underscores the drug's potential in addressing a range of severe and chronic conditions by modulating immune and inflammatory responses.
X4 Pharmaceuticals is also advancing other promising drug candidates, including X4P-002 and X4P-003. X4P-002 is a CXCR4 antagonist under development for the treatment of brain cancers, aiming to leverage its mechanism of action to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. X4P-003 is being developed to address CXCR4-related disorders and primary immunodeficiencies, further expanding the company's focus on rare and challenging conditions. These initiatives highlight X4 Pharmaceuticals' commitment to pioneering treatments for complex diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
In addition to its internal development programs, X4 Pharmaceuticals has established a strategic license agreement with Abbisko Therapeutics Co., Ltd. This partnership is aimed at developing, manufacturing, and commercializing mavorixafor in combination with checkpoint inhibitors and other agents for oncology indications. This collaboration enhances the company's ability to leverage its innovative therapies in the oncology space, potentially offering new treatment options for cancer patients. Through these efforts, X4 Pharmaceuticals continues to advance its mission of delivering novel and effective therapies for rare and serious diseases.
