Pomerantz Law Firm Initiates Class Action Against Unicycive Therapeutics
On September 18, 2025, Pomerantz LLP announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Unicycive Therapeutics, Inc., along with specific company officers. This legal action, recorded in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, is aimed at protecting investors who acquired Unicycive securities between March 29, 2024, and June 27, 2025, a period crucial for the allegations outlined in the suit.
The class action, cited under docket number 25-cv-06923, has been prepared on behalf of all individuals and entities, excluding the Defendants, who made purchases or acquired Unicycive securities within the stated timeframe. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages resulting from alleged violations of the federal securities laws as stipulated under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, along with Rule 10b-5 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Background on Unicycive and Allegations
Unicycive, which trades under the NASDAQ symbol UNCY, is positioned as a clinical-stage biotechnology firm that crafts therapies aimed at unmet medical needs in the U.S. Among its notable developments is oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC), a proposed treatment intended for managing hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis.
Throughout the class action period, Unicycive's executives allegedly oversold the readiness and capability of their submissions for a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning OLC. These claims were made under the notion of meeting strict manufacturing compliance standards set forth by the agency.
The situation escalated in September 2024, marking the submission of the OLC NDA to the FDA. However, the complaint contends that this readiness was grossly overstated, coupled with assertions that the NDA's prospects were misrepresented. These misleading statements made by Unicycive's executives potentially misled investors about the actual state of the company’s operations and compliance policies.
In a shocking turn of events, on June 10, 2025, Unicycive revealed that the FDA had flagged deficiencies concerning current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) compliance at a third-party vendor employed for their drug production. This news led to a dramatic drop in Unicycive's stock price, plummeting 40.89% in one day.
Subsequently, on June 30, 2025, the situation worsened when Unicycive announced that the FDA had issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding the OLC NDA, reinforcing the previously identified deficiencies. Following this revelation, the stock tumbled further, closing a staggering 29.85% lower by day's end.
