Eighty-six patients were treated with OLC in this open-label single arm Phase 2 study. At screening, only 59% of patients had serum phosphate levels of ≤5.5 mg/dL (phosphate control). OLC was well tolerated and enabled serum phosphate control in >90% of patients with a low pill burden (two-thirds of patients receiving three or fewer tablets/day).
