Biocon share price will remain in focus on April 28 following the company's subsidiary received positive CHMP opinions for biosimilar denosumab.

Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency has issued positive opinions recommending the approval of Biocon Biologics denosumab biosimilars candidates for distinct therapeutic indications for bone health: Vevzuo and Denosumab BBL.

The positive opinions are based on applications submitted by Biosimilar Collaborations Ireland, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Biocon Biologics.

These recommendations follow a review of comprehensive data packages, including clinical studies results, which demonstrated comparability with the reference product in terms of pharmacokinetic, safety, efficacy and immunogenicity profiles.

The European Commission will review the CHMP opinions and, following its decision, detailed information on the approved indications and usage will be included into the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPCs), and the European Public Assessment Reports (EPARs), available in all official European Union languages.
