OZILTUS

Following subcutaneous administration, bioavailability was 62%. Denosumab displayed nonlinear pharmacokinetics at doses below 60 mg, but approximately dose-proportional increases in exposure at higher doses. With multiple subcutaneous doses of 120 mg once every 4 weeks, up to 2.8-fold accumulation in serum denosumab concentrations was observed and steady-state was achieved by 6 months. A mean (± standard deviation) serum steady-state trough concentration of 20.5 (± 13.5) mcg/mL was achieved by 6...

14 CLINICAL TRIALS 14.1 Bone Metastasis from Solid Tumors The safety and efficacy of denosumab for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors was demonstrated in three international, randomized (1:1), double-blind, active-controlled, noninferiority trials comparing denosumab with zoledronic acid. In all three trials, patients were randomized to receive 120 mg denosumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks or 4 mg zoledronic acid intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks (dose adjusted for reduced renal function). Patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 ...

The following adverse reactions are discussed below and elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6) ] Osteonecrosis of the Jaw [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Atypical Subtrochanteric and Diaphyseal Femoral Fracture [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Hypercalcemia following treatment discontinuation in patients with giant cell tumor of bone and in patients with gr...

Hypocalcemia ( 4.1 ) Known clinically significant hypersensitivity to denosumab products ( 4.2 ) 4.1 Hypocalcemia Pre-existing hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating therapy with Oziltus [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . 4.2 Hypersensitivity Oziltus is contraindicated in patients with known clinically significant hypersensitivity to denosumab products [see Warnings and Precaution...

Same Active Ingredient: Patients receiving Oziltus should not take other denosumab products concomitantly. ( 5.1 ) Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis may occur. Discontinue permanently if a clinically significant reaction occurs. ( 5.2 ) Hypocalcemia: Oziltus can cause severe symptomatic hypocalcemia, and fatal cases have been reported. Correct hypocalcemia prior to initiating Oziltus. Monitor calcium levels during therapy, especially in the first weeks of initiating therapy, and a...
