Abstract
Narlumosbart () is a recombinant, fully human, anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) IgG4 monoclonal antibody being developed by CSPC Pharmaceutical and its wholly owned subsidiary Shanghai Jinmante Biotechnology for the treatment of giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB), bone metastases from solid tumours and osteoporosis. The RANK/RANKL signalling pathway plays a pivotal role in osteoclastogenesis and in the pathogenesis of GCTB. Narlumosbart specifically binds to RANKL and blocks the interaction of RANKL with RANK, thus inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by osteoclasts. In September 2023, narlumosbart received conditional first approval in China for the treatment of adults with GCTB that is unresectable or when surgical resection would result in severe functional disability. Clinical studies of narlumosbart for bone metastases, postmenopausal osteoporosis and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are underway in China. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of narlumosbart leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults with GCTB.
