🩺 Clinical

📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Romosozumab-aqqg injection is used to treat osteoporosis (condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) in postmenopausal women (women who have experienced a change of life; end of menstrual periods) who have a high risk of a fracture or when other osteoporosis treatments did not help or could not be tolerated. Romosozumab-aqqg injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by increasing bone formation and decreasing bone breakdown.

6 inactive ingredients listed in the exact product block matched to this NDC.

Where does this data come from?
Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed — ingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer mLPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $1,140.76 $2,669.39 / 2.34 ml
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

About this product: this is a biologic. Biologics don't have small-molecule generics — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars (shown above), not generics.
Where does this data come from?
Equivalents are other NDCs of the same ingredient, form and route from the openFDA NDC Directory, ranked least-expensive-first by NADAC. Therapeutic-equivalence (AB) ratings come from the FDA Orange Book; biologics use the FDA Purple Book for biosimilar & interchangeable status.

🧬Biologic — competition comes from biosimilars

Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Apr 2031. This may affect when biosimilars become widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Apr 9, 2019 ⏳ ~4.6 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.

Biologic patent Exclusivity
🏛️Reference-product exclusivity
A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from first licensure. No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends — regardless of patents.
🧪Listed biologic patents
Patents the reference maker lists covering the molecule, formulation, or manufacturing. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these resolve.
🔁Interchangeability
An interchangeable biosimilar may be substituted at the pharmacy (state laws vary). The first one can earn its own exclusivity period.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Biologic patent
A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
Reference-product exclusivity
A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
Interchangeable exclusivity
The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.

Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.

Common questions
Is there a biosimilar for this drug?
No FDA-licensed biosimilar is currently listed for this biologic in the FDA Purple Book.
Why do different websites show different biosimilar dates?
Biosimilar availability isn’t based on one single date. Some sources use the reference-product exclusivity, some use the last listed patent, and patent litigation, settlements, and licenses can all change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Purple Book dates so you can see why estimates differ.
Can a biosimilar launch before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A biosimilar maker may settle with the reference manufacturer or receive a license to launch earlier. In other cases, the last listed protection delays competition.
What does “current Purple Book estimate” mean?
It means we’re using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Purple Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official directory. That’s a good sign a product exists for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can get it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Purple Book for a patent or exclusivity on the reference biologic. It can affect when a biosimilar becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed launch date. Settlements and licenses can move the real date earlier or later.
Built from the FDA Purple Book Patent List (patents the reference-product sponsor has publicly listed under the BPCIA) plus reference-product exclusivity. Biosimilars cannot launch until these clear; patent litigation and settlements can shift the real date. Biologics have no small-molecule generics — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, not the Orange Book.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Purple Book (biologics), refreshed from public FDA data. Biosimilar launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

📊 Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Evenity — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 1 manufacturer.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Evenity. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 55513-509-02, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 55513-0509-02, written without dashes as 55513050902. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 55513-0509-02, the first segment (55513) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Amgen, Inc; the middle segment (0509) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (02) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Amgen, Inc. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Amgen, Inc is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?

( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Limit duration of use to 12 monthly doses. If osteoporosis therapy remains warranted, continued therapy with an anti-resorptive agent should be considered.

( 1.2 )

1.1Treatment of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis at High Risk for Fracture EVENITY is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture, defined as a history of osteoporotic fracture, or multiple risk factors for fracture; or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy.

1.2Limitations of Use The anabolic effect of EVENITY wanes after 12 monthly doses of therapy. Therefore, the duration of EVENITY use should be limited to 12 monthly doses. If osteoporosis therapy remains warranted, continued therapy with an anti-resorptive agent should be considered [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Two separate subcutaneous injections are needed to administer the total dose of 210 mg. Inject two syringes, one after the other. ( 2.1 ) Should be administered by a healthcare provider. ( 2.1 ) Administer 210 mg subcutaneously once every month for 12 doses in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. ( 2.2 ) Adequately supplement calcium and vitamin D during treatment. ( 2.2 )

2.1Important Dosage and Administration Instructions Two separate syringes (and two separate subcutaneous injections) are needed to administer the total dose of 210 mg of EVENITY. Inject two 105 mg/1.17 mL prefilled syringes, one after the other. EVENITY should be administered by a healthcare provider.

2.2Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of EVENITY is 210 mg administered subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Administer EVENITY once every month. The treatment duration for EVENITY is 12 monthly doses.

Patients should be adequately supplemented with calcium and vitamin D during treatment with EVENITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . If the EVENITY dose is missed, administer as soon as it can be rescheduled. Thereafter, EVENITY can be scheduled every month from the date of the last dose.

2.3Preparation and Administration Instructions Administration instructions: Prefilled syringe with automatic needle guard: Step 1: Prior to Administration: Remove two syringes from the carton. Visually inspect EVENITY for particles and discoloration prior to administration. EVENITY is a clear to opalescent, colorless to light yellow solution.

Do not use if the solution is cloudy or discolored or contains particles. Do not use the syringe if any part appears cracked or broken the gray needle cap is missing or not securely attached the expiration date printed on the label has passed the syringe has been dropped on a hard surface Always hold the syringe by the syringe body to remove the syringe from the tray. See Figure A .

Do not grasp the plunger rod. Do not grasp the gray needle cap. Do not remove the gray needle cap until you are ready to inject.

Allow EVENITY to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before injecting. Do not warm in any other way [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) ] . Figure A Step 2: Select the Injection Site and Prepare the Syringe Prepare and clean two injection sites, one for each of the two injections.

See Figure B . Figure B The recommended subcutaneous injection sites include: The thigh Abdomen, except for a two-inch area right around the navel Outer area of upper arm Clean the injection sites with alcohol wipes. Let the skin dry.

Choose a different site each time you give an injection. If you want to use the same injection site, make sure it is not the same spot on the injection site you used for a previous injection. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard.

Avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks. Choose the first syringe. Pull the gray needle cap straight off and away from your body when you are ready to inject.

See Figure C . Figure C Do not put the gray needle cap back onto the syringe. Do not leave the cap off for more than 5 minutes as this can dry out the solution.

The prefilled syringe may contain air bubbles. Do not try to push air bubbles out as it is normal to see air bubbles. Step 3: Inject EVENITY Pinch the skin around the injection site before injecting.

Insert the needle into the pinched skin at or about a 45-degree angle. Slowly press the plunger head all the way down with your thumb until it is completely between the needle guard clips. Do not pull back on the plunger rod at any time.

Do not remove the syringe until all the medicine has been injected. Do not administer into muscle or blood vessel. See Figure D .

⛔ Contraindications 81 words ▾

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS EVENITY is contraindicated in patients with: Hypocalcemia. Pre-existing hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating therapy with EVENITY [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ]. A history of systemic hypersensitivity to romosozumab-aqqg or to any component of the product formulation.

Reactions have included angioedema, erythema multiforme, and urticaria [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Hypocalcemia ( 4 ) Known hypersensitivity to EVENITY ( 4 )

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE): Monitor for symptoms of MI and stroke and seek prompt medical attention if symptoms occur. ( 5.1 ) Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, erythema multiforme, dermatitis, rash, and urticaria. Discontinue EVENITY if a clinically significant allergic reaction occurs.

( 5.2 ) Hypocalcemia: Adequately supplement calcium and vitamin D during treatment with EVENITY. ( 5.3 ) Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Monitor for symptoms. Consider discontinuation of therapy based on benefit-risk assessment.

( 5.4 ) Atypical Femoral Fracture: Evaluate new or unusual thigh, hip, or groin pain to rule out an incomplete femur fracture. ( 5.5 )

5.1Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) In a randomized controlled trial in postmenopausal women, there was a higher rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke, in patients treated with EVENITY compared to those treated with alendronate [see Boxed Warning and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . EVENITY should not be initiated in patients who have had a myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding year. Consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks in patients with other cardiovascular risk factors.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction and stroke and instruct patients to seek prompt medical attention if symptoms occur. If a patient experiences a myocardial infarction or stroke during therapy, EVENITY should be discontinued.

5.2Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, erythema multiforme, dermatitis, rash, and urticaria have occurred in EVENITY-treated patients. If an anaphylactic or other clinically significant allergic reaction occurs, initiate appropriate therapy and discontinue further use of EVENITY [see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].

5.3Hypocalcemia Hypocalcemia has occurred in patients receiving EVENITY. Correct hypocalcemia prior to initiating EVENITY [see Contraindications (4) , Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.7) ] . Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia.

Patients should be adequately supplemented with calcium and vitamin D while on EVENITY [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients with severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) or receiving dialysis are at greater risk of developing hypocalcemia. Monitor serum calcium and adequately supplement patients who have severe renal impairment or are receiving dialysis with calcium and vitamin D.

Instruct patients with severe renal impairment, including those receiving dialysis, about the symptoms of hypocalcemia and the importance of maintaining calcium levels with adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation.

5.4Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), which can occur spontaneously, is generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection with delayed healing, and has been reported in patients receiving EVENITY. A routine oral examination should be performed by the prescriber prior to initiation of EVENITY treatment. Concomitant administration of drugs associated with ONJ (chemotherapy, bisphosphonates, denosumab, angiogenesis inhibitors, and corticosteroids) may increase the risk of developing ONJ.

Other risk factors for ONJ include cancer, radiotherapy, poor oral hygiene, pre-existing dental disease or infection, anemia, and coagulopathy [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . For patients requiring invasive dental procedures, clinical judgment of the treating physician and/or oral surgeon should guide the management plan of each patient based on benefit-risk assessment. Patients who are suspected of having or who develop ONJ while on EVENITY should receive care by a dentist or an oral surgeon.

In these patients, dental surgery to treat O…

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of EVENITY for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (Study 1, NCT01575834) of 7180 postmenopausal women aged 55 to 90 years (mean age of 71 years).

A total of 3581 and 3576 women received at least one dose of EVENITY and placebo, respectively, administered once every month during the 12-month double-blind study period. Women received at least 500 mg calcium and 600 international units of vitamin D supplementation daily and 77% received a loading dose of 50,000 to 60,000 international units of vitamin D within one week of randomization (if serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were 40 ng/mL or less). The safety of EVENITY for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in patients at high risk of fracture was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, alendronate-controlled study (Study 2, NCT01631214) of 4093 postmenopausal women aged 55 to 90 years (mean age of 74 years).

A total of 2040 and 2014 women received at least one dose of EVENITY and alendronate, respectively, during the 12-month double-blind study period. Women received at least 500 mg calcium and 600 international units vitamin D supplementation daily and 74% received a loading dose of 50,000 to 60,000 international units of vitamin D within one week of randomization (if serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were 40 ng/mL or less). In Study 1, during the 12-month double-blind treatment period, the incidence of all-cause mortality was 0.7% (24/3576) in the placebo group and 0.8% (29/3581) in the EVENITY group.

The incidence of nonfatal serious adverse events was 8.3% in the placebo group and 9.1% in the EVENITY group. The percentage of patients who withdrew from the study due to adverse events was 1.1% in the placebo group and 1.1% in the EVENITY group. The most common adverse reactions reported with EVENITY (greater than or equal to 5% and at a higher incidence than placebo) were arthralgia and headache.

The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation of EVENITY was arthralgia (6 subjects [0.2%] in the placebo group and 5 subjects [0.1%] in the EVENITY group). In Study 2, during the 12-month double-blind treatment period, the incidence of all-cause mortality was 1.1% (22/2014) in the alendronate group and 1.5% (30/2040) in the EVENITY group. The incidence of nonfatal serious adverse events was 13.3% in the alendronate group and 11.9% in the EVENITY group.

The percentage of patients who withdrew from the study due to adverse events was 1.2% in the alendronate group and 1.2% in the EVENITY group. The most common adverse reactions reported with EVENITY (greater than or equal to 5%) were arthralgia and headache. Table 1 outlines the most common adverse reactions occurring in greater than or equal to 2% of EVENITY-treated women in at least one study.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Renal Impairment: Patients with severe renal impairment or receiving dialysis are at greater risk of developing hypocalcemia. Monitor serum calcium and supplement with calcium and vitamin D. ( 5.3 , 8.7 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary EVENITY is not indicated for use in women of reproductive potential. In animal reproduction studies, weekly administration of romosozumab-aqqg to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at exposures greater than 31 times the clinical exposure produced skeletal abnormalities in the offspring. Administration of romosozumab-aqqg to rats prior to mating and through to the end of lactation produced minimal to slight decreases in femoral bone mineral density and/or cortical circumferences in the offspring at 1.4 to 54 times the expected exposure in humans [see Data ] .

Data Animal Data Reproductive and developmental effects of romosozumab-aqqg were assessed in the rat in a preliminary and definitive embryo-fetal development study, a combined fertility and embryo-development study, and a pre and postnatal development study. Skeletal malformations including syndactyly and polydactyly occurred in 1 out of 75 litters across all rat reproductive toxicity studies, in the litter of a dam given weekly subcutaneous romosozumab-aqqg doses of 300 mg/kg (equivalent to at least 31 times the clinical exposure observed in humans following a monthly subcutaneous dose of 210 mg, based on area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] comparison).

In the offspring of female rats given weekly romosozumab-aqqg doses from 6 weeks before cohabitation through mating and lactation, femoral periosteal and endocortical circumferences were slightly decreased at 10, 60, and 300 mg/kg (equivalent to 1.4, 18, and 54 times the clinical exposure following a monthly subcutaneous dose of 210 mg, based on AUC comparison). Cortical thickness was increased at 300 mg/kg (equivalent to 54 times expected clinical exposure). Femoral metaphyseal bone mineral density was slightly decreased at 60 and 300 mg/kg (equivalent to 18 and 54 times expected clinical exposure).

8.2Lactation Risk Summary EVENITY is not indicated for use in women of reproductive potential. In animal studies where pregnant rats were given weekly doses of romosozumab-aqqg from 6 weeks before cohabitation through mating and lactation at 10, 60, or 300 mg/kg (equivalent to 1.4, 18 or 54 times the clinical exposure following a monthly subcutaneous dose of 210 mg, based on AUC comparison), romosozumab-aqqg was dose-dependently present in the serum of offspring on postnatal day 21 at 0.01 to 2.4 times maternal exposure due to gestational and/or lactational exposure.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of EVENITY have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 6544 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in the clinical studies of EVENITY, 5234 (80%) were age 65 years and over and 2390 (37%) were age 75 years and over. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in response between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

8.7Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 by MDRD equation) or receiving dialysis are at greater risk of developing hypocalcemia [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Monitor calcium concentrations and adequately supplement calcium and vitamin D in patients who have severe renal impairment or are receiving dialysis.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ~3 min read ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action EVENITY inhibits the action of sclerostin, a regulatory factor in bone metabolism. EVENITY increases bone formation and, to a lesser extent, decreases bone resorption. Animal studies showed that romosozumab-aqqg stimulates new bone formation on trabecular and cortical bone surfaces by stimulating osteoblastic activity resulting in increases in trabecular and cortical bone mass and improvements in bone structure and strength [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .

12.2Pharmacodynamics In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, EVENITY increased the bone formation marker procollagen type 1 N-telopeptide (P1NP) with a peak increase from baseline of approximately 145% compared to placebo 2 weeks after initiating treatment, followed by a return to concentrations seen with placebo at month 9 and a decline from baseline to approximately 15% below the concentration change seen with placebo at month 12. EVENITY decreased the bone resorption marker type 1 collagen C-telopeptide (CTX) with a maximal reduction from baseline of approximately 55% compared to placebo 2 weeks after initiating treatment.

CTX remained below concentrations seen with placebo and was approximately 25% below the concentration change seen with placebo at month 12. After discontinuation of EVENITY, P1NP levels returned to baseline within 12 months; CTX increased above baseline levels within 3 months and returned toward baseline levels by month 12.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Administration of a single dose of 210 mg EVENITY in healthy volunteers resulted in a mean (standard deviation [SD]) maximum romosozumab-aqqg serum concentration (C max ) of 22.2 (5.8) mcg/mL and a mean (SD) AUC of 389 (127) mcg*day/mL. Steady-state concentrations were achieved by month 3 following the monthly administration of 210 mg to postmenopausal women. The mean trough serum romosozumab-aqqg concentrations at months 3, 6, 9, and 12 ranged from 8 to 13 mcg/mL.

Romosozumab-aqqg exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics with exposure increasing greater than dose proportionally (e.g., 550-fold increase in mean AUC inf for the 100-fold increase in subcutaneous doses ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg 0.03 to 3.3 times the approved recommended dosage for a 70 kg woman). Absorption The median time to maximum romosozumab-aqqg concentration (T max ) is 5 days (range: 2 to 7 days). Distribution The estimated volume of distribution at steady-state is approximately

3.92L. Elimination Romosozumab-aqqg exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics with the clearance of romosozumab-aqqg decreasing as the dose increased. The estimated mean systemic clearance (CL/F) of romosozumab-aqqg was 0.38 mL/hr/kg, following a single subcutaneous administration of 3 mg/kg (the approved recommended dosage for a 70 kg woman).

The mean effective t 1/2 was 12.8 days after 3 doses of 3 mg/kg (the approved recommended dosage for a 70 kg woman) every 4 weeks. Metabolism The metabolic pathway of romosozumab-aqqg has not been characterized. As a humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody, romosozumab-aqqg is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in a manner similar to endogenous IgG.

Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of romosozumab-aqqg were observed based on age (20-89 years), sex, race, disease state (low bone mass or osteoporosis), prior exposure to alendronate, or renal impairment including end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis. The effect of ESRD not requiring dialysis on the pharmacokinetics of romosozumab-aqqg is unknown. Body Weight The exposure of romosozumab-aqqg decreases with increasing body weight.

12.6Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incid…
