Full enrollment in ongoing global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in chronic neutropenia

on track for mid-2025

Right-sizing commercial efforts to optimize XOLREMDI promotion and

support U.S. WHIM syndrome community

Restructuring impact expected to extend cash runway into first half of 2026

BOSTON, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- X4 Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:XFOR), a company driven to improve the lives of people with rare diseases of the immune system, announced today a restructuring of its workforce and capital spending to focus efforts on advancing mavorixafor to treat those with chronic neutropenia, while also optimizing its U.S. promotion of XOLREMDI® (mavorixafor), approved for the treatment of WHIM syndrome (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections and myelokathexis), a rare immunodeficiency.

Strategic restructuring activities include:

  • Reducing overall headcount by 43 people (approximately 30% of X4 employees), which includes discontinuing research efforts and closing the company's facility in Vienna, Austria, as well as pausing pre-clinical drug candidate programs;
  • Scaling the U.S. commercial field team and supporting roles across the company;
  • Streamlining other spending to support the ongoing clinical development of mavorixafor for the larger population of those with chronic neutropenia.

"This strategic restructuring is being implemented to improve our operational efficiency and capital efficiency as we continue to maximize the global market opportunity for mavorixafor and to benefit the largest number of patients we can worldwide," said Paula Ragan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of X4 Pharmaceuticals. "We expect this organizational redesign to sharpen our focus on the execution of our ongoing global pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of mavorixafor in chronic neutropenia while we continue to build WHIM communities through both our U.S. commercial presence and through global partnerships. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the X4tizens being impacted by this restructuring. Their contributions and dedication have not only helped shape who we are as a company today, but, we believe, will continue to positively impact the immunodeficiency community for years to come."

X4 expects its efforts will decrease annual spending by $30-35 million and believes it will have sufficient funds to support operations into the first half of 2026. Workforce reductions are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.
