History

The effectiveness of mavorixafor was evaluated in a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 31 adolescents and adults with WHIM syndrome (NCT03995108).[2] Mavorixafor improved absolute neutrophil counts and absolute lymphocyte counts, assessed over a 24-hour period four times throughout the study.[2] Absolute neutrophil counts below 500 cells/μL and absolute lymphocyte counts below 1000 cells/μL are associated with an increased risk of infections.[2] The average length of time over 24 hours that counts were above these levels was significantly longer with mavorixafor compared to the placebo group (15.0 hours compared to 2.8 hours for absolute neutrophil counts; 15.8 hours compared to 4.6 hours for absolute lymphocyte counts).[2]
