Exicure Inc. has announced the publication of results from a Phase 2 clinical study evaluating burixafor, a highly selective CXCR4 inhibitor, in the journal Annals of Hematology. The study assessed burixafor in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin disease undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. The results showed that 92% of participants met the primary endpoint of collecting at least 5.0 × 10⁶ CD34+ cells/kg within two leukapheresis sessions, with half achieving the target in a single session. Burixafor demonstrated rapid stem cell mobilization, with peak CD34+ cell counts occurring within one hour of administration, and was generally well tolerated. Additionally, Exicure recently completed another Phase 2 study evaluating burixafor in combination with G-CSF and propranolol in multiple myeloma patients. Positive topline data from this study were presented at the American Society of Hematology $(ASH)$ Annual Meeting in December 2025 and the Tandem Meetings in February 2026.
