Investor presentation summary
1 Jun, 2026Clinical trial results and safety profile
Achieved study objective by demonstrating tolerability and safety of OLC in CKD patients on hemodialysis.
Treatment-related discontinuation rate was 1.4% in the evaluable population, with total discontinuations due to adverse events at 6%, lower than the 14% rate for Fosrenol.
Most common treatment-related adverse events were diarrhea (9%) and vomiting (6%), with no treatment-related serious adverse events.
OLC safety profile compares favorably to Fosrenol and other phosphate binders.
90% of OLC-treated patients achieved effective serum phosphate control at the end of titration; 69% controlled at ≤1,500 mg/day.
Product profile and advantages
OLC is being developed under the FDA's 505(b)(2) pathway for hyperphosphatemia treatment.
Expected to share a similar label to Fosrenol but offers smaller, swallowable tablets and fewer pills.
Utilizes proprietary nanoparticle technology to enhance potency and reduce pill burden.
Immediate release tablets are swallowed whole, improving palatability.
Strong global intellectual property protection is in place.
Clinical trial design and patient demographics
Open-label, non-comparator pivotal trial design agreed with FDA; primary endpoint was tolerability based on adverse event-related discontinuations.
Safety population included 86 patients; 71 were evaluable for the primary endpoint.
Majority of patients previously used Renvela, Phoslo, Auryxia, or Velphoro as phosphate binders.
Mean patient age was 62.4 years; 45% female and 55% male.
