Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 13, 2024, X4 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “X4”) issued a press release titled “X4 Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Results from Completed Six-Month Phase 2 Trial of Mavorixafor in Chronic Neutropenia (CN)”. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

On November 13, 2024, the Company posted a corporate presentation on the Company’s website to provide updates and summaries of its business. A copy of the corporate presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Exchange Act or under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01    Other Events.

On November 13, 2024, the Company announced positive new clinical data from its now completed Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating mavorixafor, an oral CXCR4 antagonist, in the treatment of people with chronic neutropenia (“CN”). An analysis of final data from the six-month study showed that once-daily oral mavorixafor durably and meaningfully increased participants’ mean absolute neutrophil counts (“ANC”). In addition, when tested in combination with injectable granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”), mavorixafor treatment enabled clinicians to substantially reduce G-CSF dosing while maintaining normal mean ANC levels.

Results from Completed Phase 2 Study of Mavorixafor in CN

The Phase 2 study of mavorixafor was a six-month, open-label clinical trial that enrolled a total of 23 participants diagnosed with idiopathic, congenital, or cyclic chronic neutropenia. The analysis presented today includes results from the two study treatment groups: mavorixafor monotherapy (n = 10 at baseline) and mavorixafor in combination with G-CSF (n=13 at baseline).

Consistent with previously presented analyses, results from participants receiving mavorixafor monotherapy showed that mavorixafor durably increased mean ANC from baseline, with mean ANC reaching normal levels at Month 3 (n=9) and Month 6 (n=8). Further analysis showed that those with severe CN achieved greater than two-fold increases in mean ANC levels out to six months (n=4), reaching levels typically targeted by physicians for patients with severe CN.

New results presented today demonstrated that physicians chose to reduce G-CSF dosing in nine of 12 eligible participants. Of those nine, eight had G-CSF reduced at the earliest timepoint permitted and three were taken completely off of G-CSF prior to their Month 6 visit. Mean reductions in G-CSF were 52% at Month 3 (n=8) and 70% at Month 6 (n=9), while mean ANC levels remained in the normal range. The three participants receiving mavorixafor who remained on stable doses of G-CSF maintained mean ANC levels in the normal range at all timepoints.

The Company also announced new findings from a sub-study comparing the mean percentage of functional neutrophils in samples from healthy donors (n=5) to participants from the Phase 2 CN study (n=9) using two common study methods. These results demonstrated that the mean percentage of functional circulating neutrophils in CN participants in this sub-study was comparable to that of healthy donors after six months of mavorixafor dosing. The subset of participants with congenital neutropenia (n=4 of 9) also had mean percentage of functional neutrophils comparable to those of healthy donors. This is the first clinical demonstration of the functionality of


neutrophils mobilized by mavorixafor, and further increases the company’s confidence in achieving success in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 4WARD clinical trial.

Overall, mavorixafor was generally well tolerated as a monotherapy and in combination with G-CSF, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported, consistent with previous clinical studies.

X4 Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Results from Completed Six-Month
Phase 2 Trial of Mavorixafor in Chronic Neutropenia (CN)

Mavorixafor durably and meaningfully elevated participants’ mean absolute neutrophil counts (ANC)

Mavorixafor enabled substantial reductions in G-CSF dosing while maintaining
mean ANC at normal levels

Phase 2 study results and new analysis confirming functionality of neutrophils in sub-study participants bolster confidence in achieving success in Phase 3 4WARD trial

Company conference call and webcast today at 8:00 am ET

BOSTON, November 13, 2024 – X4 Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: XFOR), a company driven to improve the lives of people with rare diseases of the immune system, today announced positive new clinical data from its now completed Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating mavorixafor, an oral CXCR4 antagonist, in the treatment of people with chronic neutropenia (CN). An analysis of final data from the six-month study showed that once-daily oral mavorixafor durably and meaningfully increased participants’ mean absolute neutrophil counts (ANC). In addition, when tested in combination with injectable granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), mavorixafor treatment enabled clinicians to substantially reduce G-CSF dosing while maintaining normal mean ANC levels.

“Since the U.S. approval of G-CSF to treat severe chronic neutropenia, there has remained a significant unmet need for an optimal treatment in terms of long-term efficacy, safety, and route of administration,” said Teresa Tarrant, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Rheumatology, and Immunology at Duke University School of Medicine. “I am encouraged by these Phase 2 results showing that mavorixafor not only increased circulating neutrophils across study participants, but also that these neutrophils were functional in a sub-study population. The larger Phase 3 mavorixafor CN trial will expand on these data, and I remain optimistic about this potential much-needed innovation for patients with chronic neutropenia.”

“We could not be more pleased with the results from the six-month Phase 2 study of mavorixafor in CN, which are consistent with our earlier findings that mavorixafor durably and meaningfully increased ANC in this population,” said Paula Ragan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of X4 Pharmaceuticals. “Importantly, we gained insights into the potential real-world use of mavorixafor in CN, should we ultimately obtain approval. These data not only confirm our interim findings, but also increase our confidence in a positive outcome for our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 4WARD trial and the potential of mavorixafor to help people living with chronic neutropenia.”





Results from Completed Phase 2 Study of Mavorixafor in CN
The Phase 2 study of mavorixafor was a six-month, open-label clinical trial that enrolled a total of 23 participants diagnosed with idiopathic, congenital, or cyclic chronic neutropenia. The analysis presented today includes results from the two study treatment groups: mavorixafor monotherapy (n = 10 at baseline) and mavorixafor in combination with G-CSF (n=13 at baseline).

Mavorixafor monotherapy:
•Consistent with previously presented analyses, results from participants receiving mavorixafor monotherapy showed that mavorixafor durably increased mean ANC from baseline, with mean ANC reaching normal levels at Month 3 (n=9) and Month 6 (n=8).
◦Further analysis showed that those with severe CN achieved greater than two-fold increases in mean ANC levels out to six months (n=4), reaching levels typically targeted by physicians for patients with severe CN.

Mavorixafor in combination with injectable G-CSF:
•New results presented today demonstrated that physicians chose to reduce G-CSF dosing in nine of 12 eligible participants. Of those nine, eight had G-CSF reduced at the earliest timepoint permitted and three were taken completely off of G-CSF prior to their Month 6 visit.
◦Mean reductions in G-CSF were 52% at Month 3 (n=8) and 70% at Month 6 (n=9), while mean ANC levels remained in the normal range.
•The three participants receiving mavorixafor who remained on stable doses of G-CSF maintained mean ANC levels in the normal range at all timepoints.

Neutrophil functionality assessment sub-study
•X4 also announced new findings from a sub-study comparing the mean percentage of functional neutrophils in samples from healthy donors (n=5) to participants from the Phase 2 CN study (n=9) using two common study methods. These results demonstrated that the mean percentage of functional circulating neutrophils in CN participants in this sub-study was comparable to that of healthy donors after six months of mavorixafor dosing.
◦The subset of participants with congenital neutropenia (n=4 of 9) also had mean percentage of functional neutrophils comparable to those of healthy donors.
◦This is the first clinical demonstration of the functionality of neutrophils mobilized by mavorixafor, and further increases the company’s confidence in achieving success in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 4WARD clinical trial.

Safety summary
•Mavorixafor was generally well tolerated as a monotherapy and in combination with G-CSF, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported, consistent with previous clinical studies.

About Chronic Neutropenia and Mavorixafor
Chronic neutropenia is a rare blood condition lasting more than three months, persistently or intermittently, and characterized by increased risk of infections and reduced quality of life due to abnormally low levels of neutrophils circulating in the blood. Neutrophils are retained in the bone marrow by the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis, creating a reserve of cells. Downregulation of the CXCR4 receptor by mavorixafor, an orally active CXCR4 antagonist, has been shown to mobilize neutrophils from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood across multiple disease states. The level of circulating neutrophils is typically measured by drawing blood to determine the absolute neutrophil count (ANC).

About the Phase 1b/Phase 2 Chronic Neutropenia Trial
The Phase 1b/Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04154488) is a proof-of-concept, open-label, multicenter study designed to assess oral mavorixafor, with or without injectable G-CSF, in participants with chronic neutropenic disorders, including idiopathic, cyclic, and congenital neutropenia. In the Phase 1b portion of the study, participants received one dose of oral mavorixafor and were assessed for magnitude of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) response and tolerability. In this initial portion of the study, 100% of participants (n=25) responded to treatment and mavorixafor was generally well tolerated alone or dosed concurrently with G-CSF. The Phase 2 portion of the trial (n=23) assessed the safety, tolerability, and the impact on participants’ neutropenia of oral, once-daily mavorixafor with and without concurrent injectable G-CSF therapy over a six-month period.

About the 4WARD Global, Pivotal, Phase 3 Clinical Trial
The 4WARD trial is a global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT06056297) evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral, once-daily mavorixafor (with or without G-CSF) in people with congenital, acquired primary autoimmune, or idiopathic chronic neutropenia who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections. The 52-week trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aiming to enroll 150 participants with confirmed trough ANC levels less than 1,500 cells per microliter at baseline screening and histories of two or more serious and/or recurrent infections in the prior year. The primary endpoint of the trial is based on two outcome measures: annualized infection rate and positive ANC response.

Unmet Needs in Chronic Neutropenia: Patients and Physicians Eager for Innovation 1. https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/fda-approves-new-indication-neupogen-chronic-neutropenia Only Currently Approved Therapy: Injectable Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) • Approved to treat severe chronic neutropenia in 19951 • Used as a chronic daily injection or as rescue during serious infection episodes • Frequent treatment-related / treatment-limiting bone pain other adverse events, and long-term risk of myelodysplastic syndrome and/or leukemia Jolan Walter, MD, PhD ““The administration [of G-CSF] is painful and also can have long-term consequences.” Jean Donadieu, MD, PhD “It is a medical need to improve the infection rate of the patient by a less aggressive or less painful treatment.” “ “Often, the effective [G-CSF] dose is also a toxic dose, so you have to slowly back down off the dose.” “ Peter Newburger, MD ““If I get the extreme bone pain, I am unable to sleep. It's unreal …I dread injecting every day. I dread it. It’s the worst part of my day.” Vanessa, CN Patient “You’re fighting a medicine that’s there to make you feel better or fend off infections …[but it] makes you feel like absolute crap.” Kevin, CN Patient “ 11

 
Significant Opportunity to Address Unmet Needs in CN Community 1. X4 Market Research, July 2023 – data on file; ICD-10 Code Research (2017-2023). 12 Broad Opportunity for Mavorixafor: Monotherapy or in Combination with G-CSF High unmet needs in ~15,000 patients in the U.S.1 • Patients diagnosed with idiopathic, autoimmune, or congenital CN (Phase 3 trial target population) • Adolescents and adults with history of serious/recurrent infections and/or previous/ongoing treatment with G- CSF Current use of G-CSF within these high unmet need patient populations • ~51% of patients on chronic G-CSF therapy • ~49% of patients not on chronic G-CSF therapy 50,0001 Diagnosed U.S. CN Population ~15,000 with High Unmet Needs Mavorixafor Monotherapy To treat those: • Naïve to G-CSF • Intolerant or unresponsive to G-CSF • Using G-CSF acutely, on demand Mavorixafor + G-CSF To enable a meaningful reduction in G-CSF dosing, lessening pain, discomfort, and long-term risk of malignancies

 
Phase 2 Clinical Trial in Chronic Neutropenia: Goals and Design 1. The neutrophil life-cycle is 10-14 days (https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2021.766620); Phase 2 study’s measurements of ANC over 6 months (at 30-day intervals) assess bone marrow status and durability of neutrophil production. 2. Modifications to G-CSF dosing allowed after Month 2 at physician’s discretion.  Confirm durability of positive Phase 1b results Assess long-term safety and tolerability Explore whether physicians will reduce G-CSF   Inform design of and derisk Phase 3 pivotal trial Main Phase 2 Study Goals Baseline Assessment Phase 2 Study: Assessing Safety, Durability of ANC Levels over 6-Month Period1 Once-Daily Oral Mavorixafor: Monotherapy +/-G-CSF2 DAY -1 Month 1 Assessment Month 3 Assessment Month 6 Assessment Study Visits 13
