On September 16, 2025, the FDA approved Biocon Biologics Ltd.’s BOSAYA (denosumab-kyqq) and AUKELSO (denosumab-kyqq) as biosimilars to Amgen’s PROLIA® and XGEVA®, respectively. Both biosimilars have been approved for all indications of their reference products and granted provisional interchangeability designations.
