July 12, 2023 I Fresenius Kabi, a global health care company that specializes in biopharmaceuticals, clinical nutrition, medical technologies, and I.V. generic drugs for critical and chronic conditions, announced today that its denosumab biosimilar candidate FKS518 successfully met its primary and secondary objectives in a recently conducted clinical trial on pharmacokinetic similarity.
The randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study compared the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of FKS518 to the US reference product Prolia®* following a single subcutaneous injection in healthy male subjects. The study met all primary and secondary objectives and successfully demonstrated pharmacokinetic equivalence of FKS518 to the US reference product Prolia®. The pharmacodynamic responses evaluated by quantification of bone turnover biomarkers, as well as safety and immunogenicity data support biosimilarity of FKS518 to the US reference product.
“At Fresenius Kabi Biopharma, we strive to enable people to live their life beyond their disease. We are delighted with the development progress of our multiple biosimilar candidates in our autoimmune diseases and oncology pipeline. This is another testimonial of our efforts to expand our biosimilar portfolio to provide affordable alternative solutions for patients and healthcare providers around the world while contributing to the sustainability of healthcare systems,” said Dr. Michael Schönhofen, Fresenius Kabi President Biopharma.
The company is also conducting a global clinical study with the aim to compare the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of its denosumab biosimilar candidate FKS518 with the US reference product in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
