Samsung Bioepis Highlights Consistent Efficacy of SB16 (OBODENCE ® ; Denosumab) Across Osteoporosis Patient Subgroups at WCO-IOF-ESCEO 2026
17.4.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. announced today new data supporting consistent efficacy of SB16 (OBODENCE®1), a biosimilar to Prolia2 (denosumab) across patient subgroups compared to the reference denosumab. The data will be presented as a poster presentation at the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (WCO-IOF-ESCEO) 2026 in Prague from April 16 to 19.
“Consistent efficacy across patient subgroups is critical in reinforcing physician confidence and advancing treatment accessibility for patients with osteoporosis,” said Jeehoon Ghil, Vice President and Medical & Lifecycle Safety Team Leader at Samsung Bioepis. “Such data contribute to the robustness of the overall biosimilarity assessment and support the clinical confidence in our denosumab biosimilar.”
SB16 was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase 3 clinical trial involving 456 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, who were assigned to receive either SB16 or reference denosumab3. This subgroup analysis assessed the consistency of treatment effects across key demographic and baseline disease characteristics, including age, body mass index, prior oral bisphosphonate use, smoking status, and presence of vertebral fractures. Efficacy was measured by percent change from baseline in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck at month 12. Comparative analyses between treatment groups were conducted using established statistical methods, including analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), to evaluate consistency across subgroups. The results demonstrated that SB16 showed consistent efficacy to reference denosumab across all evaluating subgroups, further supporting the overall biosimilarity of SB16.

Philip Morris International Announces U.S. FDA Reauthorization of IQOS as a Modified Risk Tobacco Product17.4.2026 23:43:00 CEST | Press Release
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it has authorized the renewal of modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) orders previously granted to PMI for two versions of the IQOS device and three variants of the tobacco consumables, commercialized under the HEETS brand. This renewal allows PMI to continue sharing reduced-exposure information with U.S. adults 21+ who use traditional tobacco products, such as combustible cigarettes. The agency concluded that renewing the IQOS and HEETS MRTP authorizations is appropriate to promote public health and is expected to benefit the health of the population as a whole taking into account both users of tobacco products and persons who do not currently use tobacco products. “As the only company to have successfully secured and maintained MRTP authorizations for heated tobacco products in the U.S., we are confident that our science-based alternatives can help adult smokers transition away from combustible cigarettes,” said Stacey Kenned
