OLC

Promising innovation to address a persistent problem

Oxylanthanum Carbonate (OLC) is an unapproved investigational new drug being developed under FDA’s 505(b)(2) regulatory procedure. If approved, OLC will share substantially the same product label and prescribing information as the reference-listed drug Fosrenol® (lanthanum carbonate), with the exception that OLC tablets are smaller in size and swallowed whole with water and not chewed.

Despite the availability of 6 FDA-approved phosphate binders, hyperphosphatemia remains uncontrolled in an estimated 75% of US dialysis patients.¹

Representative Sample of US Dialysis Patients

The daily pill burden of maintenance dialysis patients is among the highest across various chronic disease states including HIV/AIDS, diabetes mellitus, and congestive heart failure.²

• 19 pills per day (median)
• 49% of pill burden from phosphate binders
• Higher pill burden was independently associated with lower quality of life scores (HR-QOL)
• 62% of patients are non-adherent (self-reported)

Unmet Needs in Treatment of Hyperphosphatemia with Phosphate Binders (Unaided)³

In a survey of 100 US-based nephrologists:

• Lower pill burden/better patient compliance
• Greater efficacy
• Fewer side effects
• Once daily dosing / not taken with meal
• Other
• New MOA
• Lower cost / better coverage
• None

Through its proprietary nanoparticle technology, UNICYCIVE has harnessed the known phosphate binding potency of elemental lanthanum to reduce the number and size of pills that patients must take to control hyperphosphatemia^3*
