With a concentration of 120mg/1.7mL (70mg/mL), Wyost is indicated as interchangeable with its reference medicine, a human monoclonal antibody that acts on the RANKL protein, which is essential for the activation of osteoclasts.
This approval positions Wyost as a treatment toWyostent skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma and for those with bone metastases caused by RANKL protein.

It is also approved for treating hypercalcaemia of malignancy resistant to bisphosphonate treatment.
FDAbonti is indicated to address several conditions related to bone health.
It is approved for treating high fracture risk in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, for improving bone mass in men with osteoporosis at similar risk, and for managing glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in anyone with this risk.
Jubbonti is also approved to augmhypercalcaemia of malignancy fracture risk due to undergoing androgen deprivation treatment for non-metastatic prostate cancer, and women receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer.
Jubbontie clinical studies support the latest regulatory approval in the US for these biosimilars and include safety warnings within the labelling.
