Comparing Efficacy and Safety of AryoGen Pharmed Biosimilar Denosumab 60 mg (Arylia) Versus Prolia® in Improvement of Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) Among Osteoporotic Postmenopausal Women

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Denosumab 60 mg produced by AryoGen Pharmed and Amgen Denosumab 60 mg among osteoporotic postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis according to their Bone mineral density result (BMD), aged between 45 to 75 are included in this trial. This is a Phase III, randomized, two armed, double-blind, parallel, active-controlled,non-inferiority clinical trial. The eligible patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Arylia or Prolia® subcutaneous injections, at the beginning of the trial and every 6 months at month 6 and 12, in an 18-month study period. Along with, all women will receive daily supplements containing at least 1000 mg of elemental calcium (divided into two doses) and at least 400 IU vitamin D daily during 18 months of the study. The primary objective of this study is to assess non-inferiority of test- Denosumab 60 mg (Arylia) to the reference Denosumab 60 mg (Prolia®) in terms of efficacy among osteoporotic postmenopausal women. The secondary objectives of this study are: To further compare efficacy of test- Denosumab 60 mg to reference Denosumab 60 mg; To assess the safety of test- Denosumab 60 mg compared to reference Denosumab 60 mg.
