Company Overview

Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNCY) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for kidney disease and related metabolic complications. The company’s primary focus is hyperphosphatemia, an excess of phosphate in the blood that commonly affects people with chronic kidney disease, particularly those receiving dialysis.

Unicycive’s lead product candidate is oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC), an investigational, orally administered phosphate binder designed to bind dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce its absorption into the bloodstream. The company is evaluating OLC as a potential treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease who require dialysis and may benefit from additional phosphate-management options.

The company’s activities have centered on clinical development and regulatory preparation rather than commercial product sales. Unicycive is based in the United States and has conducted its development work in collaboration with clinical and research organizations. Shalabh Gupta, M.D., serves as the company’s chief executive officer. Because OLC remains an investigational product, the company does not currently have an established commercial product portfolio or broad geographic sales operations.
