The following data will be presented at the NFK’s Spring Clinical Meeting:
- Results from three pre-clinical studies of UNI-494, evaluating the risk of drug/drug interactions (DDI) will be presented in a poster titled, “In Vitro Drug Interaction Studies of UNI-494 Indicate Low Risk of Drug-Drug Interactions.”
- Efficacy data from a study of UNI-494 in a bilateral renal ischemia perfusion (I/R) model will be presented in a poster titled, “UNI-494 Lowers Urine 2-microglobulin in Rats.”
- Outcomes from a study that evaluated the medication weight of various phosphate binders to bind 1 gram of phosphorus will be presented in a poster titled “Binder Weight to Bind 1 Gram of Phosphate.”
“We continue to build on the growing body of clinical evidence that supports the therapeutic potential of our two lead programs in kidney diseases and are delighted to be presenting these positive data before an audience of leading kidney disease experts,” said
“We are very encouraged by the UNI-494 data to be presented as it should underscore the prodrug’s potential to be reno-protective and to have low risk of DDI, both of which are important findings for this product candidate as a promising therapeutic for acute kidney disease, a condition for which there are currently no FDA approved therapies,” added
