X4 Pharmaceuticals (XFOR) said Friday that its marketing authorization application for mavorixafor to treat WHIM syndrome has been validated for review by the European Medicines Agency.
The EMA previously granted mavorixafor orphan drug designation to treat WHIM syndrome, a rare genetic disease that impairs the body's immune system and is characterized by recurrent infections, skin warts, and an increased risk of cancer.
The treatment is sold in the US under the Xolremdi brand name following approval last April by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat WHIM syndrome in patients 12 years of age and older.
