CONTEXT: SB16 is a proposed biosimilar to reference denosumab (DEN; brand name: Prolia). OBJECTIVE: This phase 3 randomized, double-blind, multicenter study evaluated the biosimilarity of SB16 to DEN in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (NCT04664959). DESIGN: The study included 457 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients who had a lumbar spine or total hip T-score between -2.5 and -4. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 60 mg of SB16 or DEN subcutaneously at month 0 and month 6. At month 12, patients were rerandomized to continue with the assigned treatment or switch from DEN to SB16 up to month 18. This report includes results up to month 12. METHODS: The primary endpoint was the percent change from baseline in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at month 12. Secondary endpoints including the percent change from baseline in BMD of the lumbar spine (except for month 12), total hip, and femoral neck; pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic (serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen, and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide), safety, and immunogenicity profiles were measured up to month 12. RESULTS: The least-squares mean differences in percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at month 12 were 0.33% (90% CI, -0.25 to 0.91) in the full analysis set and 0.39% (95% CI, -0.36 to 1.13) in the per-protocol set; both within the predefined equivalence margin. The secondary endpoints were comparable between the 2 treatment groups. CONCLUSION: The reported efficacy, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety, and immunogenicity data support the biosimilarity of SB16 to DEN.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of SB16 versus reference denosumab (DEN) up to 18 months in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) patients, and assessed outcomes after switching from DEN to SB16 compared to those who continued with DEN or SB16. METHODS: 457 PMO patients were initially randomized, with 407 re-randomized at Month 12 to either continue DEN (DEN+DEN), switch to SB16 (DEN+SB16), or continue SB16 (SB16 + SB16) through Month 18. Efficacy was assessed by the percent change from baseline in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck. Safety, PD, PK, and immunogenicity were evaluated throughout the study period. RESULTS: Mean percent changes from baseline in lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD at Month 18 were comparable across treatment groups, indicating comparable efficacy between SB16 and DEN. The mean percent change in lumbar spine BMD was 6.8 % (SB16 + SB16), 6.2 % (DEN+SB16), and 6.8 % (DEN+DEN). Total hip BMD increased by 4.4 %, 3.5 %, and 4.0 %, and femoral neck BMD by 3.4 %, 3.1 %, and 2.7 % for SB16 + SB16, DEN+SB16, and DEN+DEN, respectively. Safety profiles were similar among groups, with no new safety concerns identified after switching. Only one patient in the DEN+SB16 group developed non-neutralizing anti-drug antibodies by Month 18, indicating a low immunogenicity risk for SB16. CONCLUSION: Switching from DEN to SB16 demonstrated comparable efficacy, safety, PD, PK, and immunogenicity in PMO patients relative to those who continued DEN. SB16 was well tolerated over 18 months, demonstrating comparable outcomes to DEN.
