Abstract

Amgen, as part of its program targeting the RANK/RANKL/ osteoprotegerin pathway, is developing denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, delivered subcutaneously, targeting the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand, for the potential treatment of diseases associated with bone loss, such as osteoporosis and bone metastases. The antibody is currently undergoing phase III clinical trials.
