Trial design

Randomised, open-label, placebo + g-csf: placebo for bl-8040 administered sc following reconstitution (placebo formulated as lyophilized powder with 50 mg mannitol) on the same schedule as bl-8040; g-csf administered ~10 μg/kg/day (maximum 15 μg/kg) sc daily in the morning for up to 8 days. bl-8040 (motixafortide) administered as 1.25 mg/kg by slow sc injection following reconstitution on the evening of day 4 (with potential additional bl-8040/placebo dose on evening of day 6 if needed).-controlled, adaptive Phase III trial in Spain, Italy, Germany and others.

Comparator
Placebo + G-CSF: Placebo for BL-8040 administered SC following reconstitution (placebo formulated as lyophilized powder with 50 mg mannitol) on the same schedule as BL-8040; G-CSF administered ~10 μg/kg/day (maximum 15 μg/kg) SC daily in the morning for up to 8 days. BL-8040 (MOTIXAFORTIDE) administered as 1.25 mg/kg by slow SC injection following reconstitution on the evening of Day 4 (with potential additional BL-8040/placebo dose on evening of Day 6 if needed).
Adaptive
True - An open-label lead-in (Part 1) enrolled 12 subjects to ascertain the dose of BL-8040 (BL-8040 1.25 mg/kg used); an independent DMC reviewed safety and efficacy data (review of 11 subjects for safety and 10 for efficacy) and recommended progression to the randomized Part 2.
