Biocon Biologics Ltd announced that the European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization in the European Union (EU) for Vevzuo® and Evfraxy® biosimilars of Denosumab.
Vevzuo® is authorized for the prevention of bone complications in adults with advanced cancer involving bone and the treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone.
Evfraxy® is authorized for the treatment of osteoporosis in men and postmenopausal women, the treatment of bone loss linked to hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures or treatment of bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adults.
Clinical data showed that both Denosumab biosimilars have comparable quality, safety, and efficacy to the reference product[1].
The marketing authorization follows a positive opinion issued by the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) on April 25, 2025.
Shreehas Tambe, CEO & Managing Director, Biocon Biologics Ltd., said: "The approval of Vevzuo and Evfraxy in Europe underscores our strong scientific expertise and commitment to expanding patient access to essential medicines, including to new therapeutic areas such as bone health. In the past 18 months, we have successfully secured regulatory approvals for three biosimilars in Europe and two in the UK. These Denosumab biosimilars mark another significant milestone in our rapid expansion, and support for healthcare systems in the region".
