Biocon Biologics receives MHRA UK Approval for Vevzuo® and Evfraxy®, Denosumab Biosimilars

Biocon Biologics Ltd (BBL), a fully integrated global biosimilars company and subsidiary of Biocon Ltd., today announced that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) granted marketing authorisations in the United Kingdom (UK) for Vevzuo® and Evfraxy®, biosimilars of Denosumab.

Vevzuo® is authorized for the prevention of skeletal related events (pathological fracture, radiation to bone, spinal cord compression or surgery to bone) in adults with advanced malignancies involving bone. Vevzuo is also authorized for the treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumour of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity.

Evfraxy® is authorized for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures. In postmenopausal women this significantly reduces the risk of vertebral, non-vertebral, and hip fractures. Furthermore, Evfraxy® is authorized for the treatment of bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures. In men with prostate cancer receiving hormone ablation, this significantly reduces the risk of vertebral fractures. Evfraxy® is also authorized for the treatment of bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adult patients at increased risk of fracture.

Clinical data showed that both Denosumab biosimilars have comparable safety and efficacy to the reference product.

In Europe, the European Commission (EC) recently granted marketing authorisation for Biocon Biologics Denosumab biosimilars, allowing their commercialization in all European Union (EU) member states and the European Economic Area (EEA).

Shares of Biocon Limited was last trading in BSE at Rs. 380.15 as compared to the previous close of Rs. 374.40. The total number of shares traded during the day was 195341 in over 2449 trades.
