−Removed: We are a biotechnology company dedicated to developing treatments for certain medical conditions.
−Removed: Currently, two of our programs are focused
−Removed: on kidney disease, an area we believe we have the potential to offer medical benefit.
−Removed: As we grow the company and build our team, we intend
−Removed: to focus on identifying medical conditions within and outside of kidney disease.
−Removed: Our current development programs are focused on two novel
−Removed: Oxylanthanum Carbonate, for treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, and UNI 494,
−Removed: for treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI).
−Removed: Oxylanthanum Carbonate and UNI 494 were initially developed by and licensed to us from Spectrum
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals (“Spectrum”) and Sphaera Pharma, respectively.
−Removed: Spectrum conducted a Phase 1 clinical trial with Oxylanthanum
−Removed: Carbonate in 2012, prior to the grant of our license in 2018.
−Removed: Sphaera conceived and performed initial characterization of various potential

−Removed: As discussed herein, after completing IND enabling preclinical studies, we have conducted a Phase I clinical
−Removed: study in healthy volunteers with UNI 494 in 2023.
−Removed: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney (renal) function that can get worse over time leading to lasting damage and
−Removed: possibly Stage 5 or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
−Removed: Our initial focus is on developing drugs and getting them approved in the U.S., and
−Removed: then to partner with global biopharmaceutical companies in the rest of the world.
−Removed: According to the United States Renal Data System (USRDS)
−Removed: 2022 Annual Data Report, 30 million (14%) of adults in the United States are estimated to have CKD and, of these, approximately 13 million
−Removed: patients have advanced CKD (stage 3-5).
−Removed: Approximately 550,000 patients (ESRD) are on dialysis and of those, approximately 450,000 patients
−Removed: (~80%) take phosphate binders to control hyperphosphatemia hyperphosphatemia (too much phosphorus in their blood).
−Removed: The number of patients
−Removed: with ESRD in the U.S.
−Removed: is increasing steadily and is projected to reach between 971,000 and 1,259,000 patients in 2030.

+Added: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the gradual loss

+Added: CKD affects nearly 36 million Americans;
+Added: approximately 550,000 of them have end stage renal disease and require dialysis.
+Added: Hyperphosphatemia
+Added: is common in people with CKD and has been directly linked to increased morbidity and mortality for people on dialysis.
+Added: For an estimated
+Added: 75% of people in the U.S.
+Added: on dialysis, hyperphosphatemia remains uncontrolled due to challenges with the six currently available phosphate
+Added: binders, namely insufficient potency, pill burden and unpalatable formulations.
+Added: To address this significant and growing challenge, Unicycive
+Added: is developing Oxylanthanum Carbonate, which leverages proprietary nanoparticle technology to address the shortcomings of current therapies
+Added: by delivering higher potency that enables fewer and smaller pills — all in a formulation that is more acceptable for patients because
+Added: it is swallowed, not chewed.
+Added: With OLC, if approved, people on dialysis and their physicians may have a better option to control hyperphosphatemia.
