- Amgen's XGEVA (denosumab), drug for the Treatment Of Giant Cell Tumor Of Bone (GCTB) Approved by FDA
XGEVA, the RANKL (RANK Ligand, a protein that signals the removal of bone) inhibitor, is the first ever FDA approved drug against the rare disease GCTB. Earlier in 2010, XGEVA was approved by FDA as a drug for the prevention of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors.
GCTB is a highly destructive tumorous disease that leads to deformation and fracturing of the bones. Individuals in the age group of 20-40 are more vulnerable to this rare disease. In such a scenario, XGEVA has emerged as a ray of hope, being the only treatment available now.
