All statements, other than statements of historical or present facts, are forward - looking statements, including statements regarding our future financial condition, f uture revenues, projected costs, prospects, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including our plans for clinical trials and plans to submit for regulatory filings. In s ome cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “model,” “should,” “would,” “pla n,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “seek,” “goal,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions.

Therefore, actual outcomes and results c oul d materially differ from what is expressed, implied, or forecasted in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to: our expectations regarding t he timing, costs, conduct, and outcome of our clinical trials, including statements regarding the timing of the initiation and availability of data from such trials; the timing and likelihood of regulatory fil ing s and approvals for our product candidates; whether regulatory authorities determine that additional trials or data are necessary in order to obtain approval; our ability to obtain funding for our operations, includ ing funding necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our product candidates; our plans to research, develop, and commercialize our product candidates; the commercialization of our product ca ndi dates, if approved; the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates; our expectations regarding the potential market size and the size of the patient populations for our product cand ida tes, if approved for commercial use, and the potential market opportunities for commercializing our product candidates; the success of competing therapies that are or may become available; our expectations re garding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates; the ability to license additional intellectual property relating to our product candidates and to comply wit h our existing license agreements; our ability to maintain and establish relationships with third parties, such as contract research organizations, suppliers, and distributors; our ability to maintain and establish co lla borators with development, regulatory, and commercialization expertise; our ability to attract and retain key scientific or management personnel; our ability to grow our organization and increase the size of our fac ilities to meet our anticipated growth; the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing; our expectations related to the use of ou r a vailable cash; our ability to develop, acquire, and advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials; the initiation, timing, progress, and results of future preclinical studies and devel opm ents and projections relating to our competitors and our industry. Topline data from the Oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC) pivotal trial is preliminary and subject to change based on further detailed analysis. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations can be found in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all ris k f actors, nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implie d b y, any forward - looking statements.

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

 

 

Oxylanthanum Carbonate (OLC) Product Profile Overview ▪ Potential best - in - class product being developed under FDA’s 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia ▪ If approved, OLC is expected to share substantially the same product label and prescribing information as the reference - listed drug Fosrenol (lanthanum carbonate) ▪ OLC advantages: (1) Potency : shares high phosphate binding capacity of lanthanum , (2) Pill Burden: smaller and fewer pills, ( 3 ) Palatability: swallowed whole with water and not chewed ▪ Proprietary Nanoparticle Technology ▪ UNICYCIVE has harnessed the phosphate binding potency of lanthanum to reduce the number and size of pills that patients must take to control hyperphosphatemia • Enhanced surface area • Lower molecular weight • Immediate release tablets Strong Global Intellectual Property ▪ Enables smaller pills ▪ Pills are swallowed (not chewed) 5

Dialysis Patients Experience Excessive Pill Burden: Phosphate Binders Account for Half of the Problem The daily pill burden for maintenance dialysis patients is among the highest across various chronic disease states including HIV/AIDS, diabetes mellitus, and congestive heart failure 1 • 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) 7 1 Chiu YW, et al.

18 Primary Endpoint: Tolerability ● OLC - 201 is an open - label/non - comparator study design that was agreed upon with the FDA ● We believe that the low rate of OLC treatment - related discontinuations observed in this clinical trial compare favorably to the historical data that was submitted in the original Fosrenol NDA ○ Rate of discontinuations due to adverse events (treatment - related and non - treatment related) from Fosrenol Package Insert was 14% ○ OLC rate of discontinuations due to adverse events (treatment - related and non - treatment related) was 6% We believe that these results for OLC are sufficient to support the demonstration of similarity to Fosrenol with regard to tolerability required for our 505(b)(2) NDA filing

 

 

19 Secondary Endpoints: Safety & PK (N=86) n (%) Adverse Event 8 (9%) a Diarrhea 5 (6%) a Vomiting Treatment - Related Adverse Events in ≥5% Patients a) Two patients experienced both diarrhea and vomiting Safety • No treatment - related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) • 6 patients had non - treatment - related SAEs • Most AEs were mild - to - moderate; only 2 patients with severe treatment - related AEs Pharmacokinetics • PK assessment is ongoing and will be submitted in the NDA • Prior Phase 1 clinical trial completed showed PK in healthy volunteers similar to Fosrenol

 

 

Adverse Event (AE) Profiles of Phosphate Lowering Therapies from FDA - Approved Product Labels Disclaimer: FDA cautions that because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in c lin ical trials of a drug cannot to directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in pr act ice. * 20 We believe that the AE profile observed in the OLC pivotal trial compares favorably with the historical clinical experience with Fosrenol and other phosphate binders and supports a similar safety profile required for our 505(b)(2) NDA filing
