Corporate presentation summary
12 Aug, 2026Corporate overview and strategy
Focused on novel treatments for kidney disease, with a diversified portfolio and strong IP protection extending potentially to 2035.
Lead asset OLC targets hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis; UNI-494 is in development for acute kidney injury.
Management team has a proven track record in developing and commercializing kidney drugs.
Cash runway extends into 2027, with $61.4 million in cash and $102 million in potential warrant funding.
Market opportunity and unmet need
Hyperphosphatemia represents a US market opportunity exceeding $1 billion, with over 550,000 dialysis patients and 80% receiving phosphate binders.
Despite six approved therapies, 75% of patients fail to achieve target serum phosphorus levels, mainly due to high pill burden and poor adherence.
Lower pill burden is the greatest unmet need, as dialysis patients take a median of 19 pills daily, with 49% from phosphate binders.
OLC product profile and clinical data
OLC uses proprietary nanoparticle technology for high potency, low pill burden, and palatable formulation, swallowed whole with water.
Pivotal study showed 91% of patients achieved phosphate control, with 69% reaching targets at ≤1500 mg/day.
Safety profile compares favorably to other phosphate binders, with most adverse events mild to moderate and low discontinuation rates.
79% of patients preferred OLC over prior therapy, citing ease of use and satisfaction.
