He further stated that the company hoped to support the goal of shifting treatment in autologous stem-cell mobilization, making Motixafortide when used together with G-CSF.
The study has been on going on for some time and the current results are a reflection of more than 3 years of studies. Dubbed the genesis study, it started in 2017 and is a randomized multiple center study testing the safety, efficacy as well as the tolerability of Motixafortide and G-CSF when analyzed in comparison to a study on a placebo.
The main objective of the study has been to show that a single dose of Motixafortide when used with G-CSF is a better treatment compared to G-CSF alone. The study’s secondary endpoint has been to check the time taken to engraftment of platelets and neutrophils, as well as the durability of the engraftment among other endpoints.
