Summary

This trial is testing mavorixafor, a pill that may help people with chronic neutropenia by increasing their white blood cell counts. The study includes people with different types of chronic neutropenia who often have low levels of these important infection-fighting cells. Researchers want to see if taking mavorixafor daily for several months can safely and effectively raise their neutrophil counts. Mavorixafor has been shown to increase white blood cell counts in patients with WHIM syndrome in previous studies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with chronic neutropenia, including congenital and idiopathic types. Eligible participants must have been diagnosed at least 6 months prior, weigh over 15 kg, can be on or off G-CSF treatment but with specific ANC levels, and agree to use effective contraception. Those with active infections or certain medical conditions are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests mavorixafor's effects on individuals with chronic neutropenia in two parts: Part 1 (Phase 1b) explores how it impacts patients; Part 2 (Phase 2) assesses safety of long-term dosing and its effect on neutropenia after six months.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of mavorixafor will be closely studied during this trial, potential risks may include allergic reactions to the drug or its ingredients, digestive issues from capsule ingestion, and possible interactions with other medications.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Common treatments for neutropenia include granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) like filgrastim, which stimulate the bone marrow to produce more neutrophils, and antibiotics to prevent or treat infections. Mavorixafor, a CXCR4 antagonist, works by blocking the CXCR4 receptor, which is involved in the retention of neutrophils in the bone marrow. By inhibiting this receptor, mavorixafor promotes the release of neutrophils into the bloodstream, thereby increasing neutrophil counts. This mechanism is crucial for neutropenia patients as it helps to reduce the risk of infections and improve overall immune function.
