Study Information

This study is testing the biosimilarity of a single dose of a potential new drug called BP16 (Denosumab). BP16 as a potential new treatment for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis (meaning ‘porous bones’) is a condition which results in a loss of bone mass, weakening bones and leads to greater risk of fractures (broken bones).

BP16 is expected to have the same action and the same range of effects in the body as that of EU-Prolia® or US-Prolia®. Conducting a clinical trial such as this one helps in proving this similarity between the drugs.

This study (2023 FULL 18838) is being funded by ACuraTeQ Biologics Private Ltd and has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
