Unicycive Therapeutics presents new data on OLC at NKF meeting

Unicycive Therapeutics announced that two posters related to the Company’s lead product candidate, oxylanthanum carbonate, OLC, were presented at the National Kidney Foundation, NKF, Spring Clinical Meeting. “The NKF Spring Clinical Meeting was an important meeting for Unicycive as we were able to present data from the OLC bioequivalence study and our second poster was featured as a top-rated submission,” said Shalabh Gupta, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Unicycive. “Phosphate binders are integral to the management of hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD and their effectiveness is adversely affected by non-adherence and limitations of phosphate binding capacity relative to dietary intake. Our data confirms that OLC is bioequivalent to lanthanum carbonate by showing similar outcomes in both groups with respect to mean change in urinary phosphate excretion. Importantly, OLC demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile with no serious adverse events. This data is important as it serves as one of the key components for our New Drug Application filing with the FDA under the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway.”
