Amneal Pharmaceuticals BLA submissions for denosumab biosimilars accepted by FDA

Amneal Pharmaceuticals (AMRX) “announced that the FDA has accepted for review its Biologics Licensing Application for two proposed denosumab biosimilars referencing Prolia and XGEVA. mAbxience is a Fresenius Kabi majority-owned group with partial ownership from Insud Pharma. Fresenius Kabi is an operating company of Fresenius. The FDA has assigned a target action date in the fourth quarter of 2025. Currently, Amneal commercializes three biosimilars in the U.S., with the two denosumab biosimilar candidates representing its next potential biosimilar launches. Additionally, three more biosimilars are in development, positioning Amneal to have a portfolio of six biosimilars across eight product presentations by 2027. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody drug that inhibits bone reabsorption. It is indicated for two major categories of therapy: bone metastasis from various forms of cancer and prevention of bone pain and fractures, including osteoporosis-related injuries. Under the terms of the agreement, mAbxience is responsible for the development and manufacturing of the biosimilars while Amneal will pursue regulatory approval and have exclusive commercialization rights in the United States. Amneal and mAbxience currently partner on ALYMSYS, a bevacizumab biosimilar, which was launched in 2022.”
