Do you have the passion and commitment to join a team whose mission is to develop treatments that have a clear and profound impact on people with rare diseases? Does it excite you to be a part of a company developing potential new treatments that could dramatically improve the lives of people with limited to no treatment options? Named one of the Top Places to Work by The Boston Globe, X4 is an exceptional place, focused on open communication and collaboration and dedicated to each other, our partners, and the medical community.

With the April 2024 U.S. approval of our first drug XOLREMDI (mavorixafor), we have made great progress in advancing our patient-centric mission and in evolving the company into a fully integrated pharmaceutical company. But there is so much left to do! We are continuing to explore global opportunities for mavorixafor in its first indication, while also advancing mavorixafor for people with chronic neutropenia through an ongoing pivotal, global Phase 3 clinical trial. In addition, our research team in Vienna, Austria is focusing on new drug discovery and examining the genetic causes of chronic neutropenic disorders.
