Denosumab is an anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB (RANK) ligand human monoclonal antibody studied as a treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) and bone destruction due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or metastatic cancers. As of February 2009, the candidate was undergoing US Food and Drug Administration review, and might be approved by October 2009. Late phase clinical trials demonstrated that denosumab possesses a similar safety profile to bisphosphonates and that it can be either equally or more effective than bisphosphonates at preventing bone loss due to PMO, RA or cancer treatment and metastases.
地诺单抗是一种抗核因子(NF)-κB受体激活剂(RANK)配体人单克隆抗体,正在作为绝经后骨质疏松症(PMO)以及类风湿性关节炎(RA)或转移性癌症所致骨破坏的治疗药物进行研究。截至2009年2月,该候选药物正在接受美国食品药品监督管理局的审评,可能于2009年10月获批。晚期临床试验表明,地诺单抗具有与双膦酸盐相似的安全性,并且在预防PMO、RA或癌症治疗及转移所致骨质流失方面,其疗效可能与双膦酸盐相当或更优。
