The FDA's approval letter for BLA 761481 is dated September 25, 2026; the application was submitted under section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act, the biosimilar pathway, and received September 29, 2025, and the letter licenses Degevma as biosimilar to and interchangeable with US-Xgeva (denosumab) 120 mg/1.7 mL (FDA approval letter). Per the letter, Degevma is indicated for prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma and in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors, for giant cell tumor of bone in adults and skeletally mature adolescents that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and for hypercalcemia of malignancy refractory to bisphosphonate therapy. Teva announced the approval on September 28, 2026 (Teva release); with Ponlimsi, its Prolia biosimilar approved in March 2026, Teva says it now covers the indications of both denosumab reference products. pdufa.bio did not hold a goal date for this application, so no early or late margin is computed.
