Information on Denosumab (Prolia):
Denosumab are nothing but the human monoclonal antibodies , these antibodies are target Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor κ B Ligand (RANKL) it is a important factor in bone metabolism, it occurs naturally in our body and is a necessary surface-bound molecule found on osteoblasts RANKL activates osteoclasts,
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption. Hence overproduction of RANKL leads to number of bone degenerative diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and psoriatic arthritis.
Osteoporosis is a type of disease of bone, where in bones become fragile and patients are at high risk of getting bone fractures.
In patients where other available osteoporosis therapy does not produce desired effect or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. Prolia works to decrease the destruction of bone and helps in increasing bone mass and strength. Prolia is recommended once every six months.
Safety of use of denosumab (Prolia) was demonstrated by Amgen who has developed denosumab (Prolia 60 mg of denosumab in 1 ml of solution ) by conducting and reporting the findings of clinical trials which involved 7,808 womens, aged 60 to 90,and it was reported that about a 35% risk reduction with denosumab compared with placebo. Prolia lowered the occurrence of vertebral, non-vertebral, and hip fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
