Brief summary: This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of X4P-001 administered as 200 mg twice daily compared with 400 mg once daily.

This study will also assess the pharmacodynamic effects of X4P-001 administered as 200 mg twice daily compared with 400 mg once daily on levels of circulating white blood cells (total and by cell type).

Detailed description: This study will be conducted in 15 healthy volunteers at a clinical research unit located in Daytona Beach, Florida. Screening will be done within 35 days prior to the first dose of study drug (first Dosing Period). Each subject will complete two 10-day Dosing Periods, one using once daily dosing and the other twice daily dosing. The interval between the Dosing Periods will be 7 to 17 days. Patients will be randomly assigned to which regimen is administered the first Dosing Period. Safety laboratory tests will be performed at screening, and prior to and after each Dosing Period. End-of-Study (EOS) visit, the final study event, will be performed 14 to 21 days after the last dose of study drug.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive.
2. Have signed the current approved informed consent form.
3. For women of childbearing potential, (a) agree to use effective contraceptive methods from screening, through the study, and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug; and (b) have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) at screening and on Day -1 prior to each Dosing period.
4. For men, agree both to (a) use effective contraceptive methods and (b) abstain from donating sperm, from admission to the in-residence unit prior to the first Dosing Period, through the study, and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
5. Be willing and able to comply with this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Is an employee of the Phase 1 unit or an immediate family member of an employee.
2. Has a BMI \<18.0 or \>30.0.
3. Has a history of hypersensitivity or allergy to any drug compound, food or other substance assessed as significant by the Investigator.
4. Has a history or presence of any medical condition capable of altering absorption, metabolism or elimination of drugs (history of routine cholecystectomy is permitted).
5. Has alcohol intake exceeding 21 units per week for males or 14 units per week for females, where 1 unit = 12 oz (360 mL) beer, 5 oz (150 mL) wine, or 1.5 oz (45 mL) distilled spirits.
6. Has within the past 12 months used illicit drugs.
7. Has within the past 6 months been a smoker or used tobacco or nicotine replacement products.
8. Is within 6 months post-partum or termination of a pregnancy.
9. Has within the past 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, participated in any other clinical trial involving an investigational treatment.
10. Has within the past 30 days had an acute medical illness, including an active infection.
11. Has within the past 30 days donated more than 500 mL of blood.
12. Has within the past 30 days, or is scheduled to have while participating in the study, surgery requiring general anesthesia.
13. Has within the past 30 days, or is scheduled to have while participating in the study, any immunizations.
14. Has within the past 14 days been nursing.
15. Has within the past 14 days donated plasma.
16. Has within the past 14 days used any prescription or over the counter medications, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator.
17. Has positive urine or serum test for drugs of abuse or for cotinine.
18. Has positive serologic laboratory tests:

    * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or -2)
    * Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
    * Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
19. Has confirmed abnormal safety laboratory tests representing CTCAE Grade 2 or higher. Subjects with Grade 1 abnormalities may be enrolled with the approval of the Investigator and the Sponsor.
20. Has insufficient venous access to permit the scheduled blood sampling.
21. Has any other medical or personal condition or finding that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may potentially compromise the safety or compliance of the subject, or may preclude the subject's successful completion of the clinical trial.
