The study, involving 86 patients, showed that two-thirds of participants achieved target phosphate levels with three or fewer tablets daily. The treatment demonstrated minimal to no systemic absorption and was well-tolerated, with only 4% of patients discontinuing due to treatment-related adverse events. The most common side effects were gastrointestinal, including diarrhea (9%) and vomiting (6%).

Unicycive Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UNCY) announced receiving a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for Oxylanthanum Carbonate (OLC), intended to treat hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis.
The CRL cited deficiencies at a third-party manufacturing vendor unrelated to OLC itself. The FDA did not raise concerns about pre-clinical, clinical, or safety data. The company has identified a second manufacturing vendor that has already produced OLC drug product and could help resolve the Clinical Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) issues.
Unicycive plans to request a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss next steps. The company reports an unaudited cash balance of approximately $20.7 million, with runway expected into the second half of 2026.
