THOUSAND OAKS (dpa-AFX) - Amgen (AMGN) announced that a Phase 3 study evaluating XGEVA (denosumab) versus zoledronic acid met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority in delaying the time to first on-study skeletal-related event in patients with multiple myeloma. The secondary endpoints of superiority in delaying time to first skeletal-related event and delaying time to first-and-subsequent skeletal-related event were not met.
Amgen stated that the adverse events were generally consistent with the known safety profile of XGEVA. The company plans to submit the data to regulatory authorities.
