Warnings and Cautions
openFDA Drug Labeling5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Drug Products with Same Active Ingredient: Patients receiving Bomyntra should not receive other denosumab products concomitantly ( 5.1 ) Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis may occur. Discontinue permanently if a clinically significant reaction occurs. ( 5.2 ) Hypocalcemia: Denosumab products can cause severe symptomatic hypocalcemia, and fatal cases have been reported. Correct hypocalcemia prior to initiating Bomyntra. Monitor calcium levels during therapy, especially in the first weeks of initiating therapy, and adequately supplement all patients with calcium and vitamin D. ( 5.3 ) Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been reported in patients receiving denosumab products. Perform an oral examination prior to starting Bomyntra. Monitor for symptoms. Avoid invasive dental procedures during treatment with Bomyntra. ( 5.4 ) Atypical femoral fracture: Evaluate patients with thigh or groin pain to rule out a femoral fracture. ( 5.5 ) Hypercalcemia Following Treatment Discontinuation in Patients with Giant Cell Tumor of Bone and in Patients with Growing Skeletons: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia, and manage as clinically appropriate. ( 5.6 , 8.4 ) Multiple Vertebral Fractures (MVF) Following Treatment Discontinuation: When Bomyntra treatment is discontinued, evaluate the individual patient's risk for vertebral fractures. ( 5.7 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.8 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Drug Products with Same Active Ingredient Patients receiving Bomyntra should not receive other denosumab products concomitantly. 5.2 Hypersensitivity Clinically significant hypersensitivity including anaphylaxis has been reported with use of denosumab products. Reactions may include hypotension, dyspnea, upper airway edema, lip swelling, rash, pruritus, and urticaria. If an anaphylactic or other clinically significant allergic reaction occurs, initiate appropriate therapy and discontinue Bomyntra therapy permanently [see Contraindications ( 4.2 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . 5.3 Hypocalcemia Denosumab products can cause severe symptomatic hypocalcemia, and fatal cases have been reported. Correct pre-existing hypocalcemia prior to Bomyntra treatment. Monitor calcium levels, throughout Bomyntra therapy, especially in the first weeks of initiating therapy, and administer calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D as necessary. Concomitant use of calcimimetics and other drugs that can lower calcium levels may worsen hypocalcemia risk and serum calcium should be closely monitored. Advise patients to contact a healthcare provider for symptoms of hypocalcemia [see Contraindications ( 4.1 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 , 6.2 ), and Patient Counseling Information ( 17 )] . An increased risk of hypocalcemia has been observed in clinical trials of patients with increasing renal dysfunction, most commonly with severe dysfunction (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min and/or on dialysis), and with inadequate/no calcium supplementation. Monitor calcium levels and calcium and vitamin D intake [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ), and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 5.4 Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been reported in patients receiving denosumab products, manifesting as jaw pain, osteomyelitis, osteitis, bone erosion, tooth or periodontal infection, toothache, gingival ulceration, or gingival erosion. Persistent pain or slow healing of the mouth or jaw after dental surgery may also be manifestations of ONJ. In clinical trials in patients with cancer, the incidence of ONJ was higher with longer duration of exposure [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Seventy-nine percent of patients with ONJ had a history of tooth extraction, poor oral hygiene, or use of a dental appliance as a predisposing factor. Other risk factors for the dev …
Adverse Reactions
openFDA Drug Labeling6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are discussed below and elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Hypocalcemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] Osteonecrosis of the Jaw [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Atypical Subtrochanteric and Diaphyseal Femoral Fracture [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Hypercalcemia following treatment discontinuation in patients with giant cell tumor of bone and in patients with growing skeletons [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] Multiple vertebral fractures (MVF) following treatment discontinuation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] Bone Metastasis from Solid Tumors: Most common adverse reactions (≥ 25%) were fatigue/asthenia, hypophosphatemia, and nausea.

Bone Metastasis from Solid Tumors The safety of denosumab was evaluated in three randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trials [see Clinical Trials ( 14.1 )] in which a total of 2841 patients with bone metastasis from prostate cancer, breast cancer, or other solid tumors, or lytic bony lesions from multiple myeloma received at least one dose of denosumab. In Studies 20050136, 20050244, and 20050103, patients were randomized to receive either 120 mg of denosumab every 4 weeks as a subcutaneous injection or 4 mg (dose adjusted for reduced renal function) of zoledronic acid every 4 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion. Entry criteria included serum calcium (corrected) from 8 to 11.5 mg/dL (2 to 2.9 mmol/L) and creatinine clearance 30 mL/min or greater. Patients who had received IV bisphosphonates were excluded, as were patients with prior history of ONJ or osteomyelitis of the jaw, an active dental or jaw condition requiring oral surgery, non-healed dental/oral surgery, or any planned invasive dental procedure. During the study, serum chemistries including calcium and phosphorus were monitored every 4 weeks. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation was recommended but not required. The median duration of exposure to denosumab was 12 months (range: 0.1-41) and median duration on-study was 13 months (range: 0.1-41). Of patients who received denosumab, 46% were female. Eighty-five percent were White, 5% Hispanic/Latino, 6% Asian, and 3% Black. The median age was 63 years (range: 18-93). Seventy-five percent of patients who received denosumab received concomitant chemotherapy. The most common adverse reactions in patients (incidence greater than or equal to 25%) were fatigue/asthenia, hypophosphatemia, and nausea (see Table 1 ). The most common serious adverse reaction was dyspnea. The most common adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation of denosumab were osteonecrosis and hypocalcemia. Table 1. Selected a Adverse Reactions of Any Severity (Studies 20050136, 20050244, and 20050103) a Adverse reactions reported in at least 10% of patients receiving denosumab in Studies 20050136, 20050244, and 20050103, and meeting one …
Use in Specific Populations
openFDA Drug Labeling8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric patients: Recommended only for treatment of skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumor of bone. ( 8.4 ) Renal impairment: Patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min or receiving dialysis are at risk for hypocalcemia. Adequately supplement with calcium and vitamin D. ( 8.6 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, denosumab products can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are insufficient data with denosumab products use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks for adverse developmental outcomes. In utero denosumab exposure from cynomolgus monkeys dosed monthly with denosumab throughout pregnancy at a dose 25-fold higher than the recommended human dose of denosumab based on body weight resulted in increased fetal loss, stillbirths, and postnatal mortality; and absent lymph nodes, abnormal bone growth, and decreased neonatal growth [see Data ] . Apprise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. The background rate of major birth defects and miscarriage is unknown for the indicated population. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data The effects of denosumab on prenatal development have been studied in both cynomolgus monkeys and genetically engineered mice in which RANK ligand (RANKL) expression was turned off by gene removal (a “knockout mouse”). In cynomolgus monkeys dosed subcutaneously with denosumab throughout pregnancy starting at gestational day 20 and at a pharmacologically active dose 25-fold higher than the recommended human dose of denosumab based on body weight, there was increased fetal loss during gestation, stillbirths, and postnatal mortality. Other findings in offspring included absence of axillary, inguinal, mandibular, and mesenteric lymph nodes; abnormal bone growth, reduced bone strength, reduced hematopoiesis, dental dysplasia, and tooth malalignment; and decreased neonatal growth. At birth out to one month of age, infants had measurable blood levels of denosumab (22-621% of maternal levels). Following a recovery period from birth out to 6 months of age, the effects on bone quality and strength returned to normal; there were no adverse effects on tooth eruption, though dental dysplasia was still apparent; axillary and inguinal lymph nodes remained absent, while mandibular and mesenteric lymph nodes were present, though small; and minimal to moderate mineralization in multiple tissues was seen in one recovery animal. There was no evidence of maternal harm prior to labor; adverse maternal effects occurred infrequently during labor. Maternal mammary gland development was normal. There was no fetal NOAEL (no observable adverse effect level) established for this study because only one dose of 50 mg/kg was evaluated. Mammary gland histopathology at 6 months of age was normal in female offspring exposed to denosumab in utero ; however, development and lactation have not been fully evaluated. In RANKL knockout mice, absence of RANKL (the target of denosumab) also caused fetal lymph node agenesis and led to postnatal impairment of dentition and bone growth. Pregnant RANKL knockout mice showed altered maturation of the maternal mammary gland, leading to impaired lactation [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.3 ) and Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.2 )] . 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of denosumab products in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Denosumab was detected in the maternal milk of cynomolgus monkeys up to 1 month after the last dose of denosumab (≤ 0.5% milk:serum ratio) and maternal mammary gland development was normal, with no impaired lactation. However, pregnant RANKL knockout mice sho …
Mechanism of Action
openFDA Drug Labeling12.1 Mechanism of Action Denosumab products bind to RANKL, a transmembrane or soluble protein essential for the formation, function, and survival of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone resorption, thereby modulating calcium release from bone. Increased osteoclast activity, stimulated by RANKL, is a mediator of bone pathology in solid tumors with osseous metastases.Similarly, giant cell tumors of bone consist of stromal cells expressing RANKL and osteoclast-like giant cells expressing RANK receptor, and signaling through the RANK receptor contributes to osteolysis and tumor growth. Denosumab products prevent RANKL from activating its receptor, RANK, on the surface of osteoclasts, their precursors, and osteoclast-like giant cells.
