BioLineRx Announces Positive Results from Pharmacoeconomic Study Positioning Motixafortide as Potential Standard of Care in Stem Cell Mobilization
BioLineRx Ltd., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has announced positive results from a pharmacoeconomic study evaluating the cost-effectiveness of using investigational drug Motixafortide as a primary stem cell mobilization (SCM) agent on top of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), versus G-CSF alone, in multiple myeloma patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The study concluded that the addition of Motixafortide to G-CSF is associated with a statistically significant decrease in health resource utilization (HRU) during the ASCT process, compared to G-CSF alone. The study findings suggest that the use of Motixafortide, on top of G-CSF, could be a cost-effective option in the US.
