Shanghai Henlius’ Biosimilar Denosumab Application Accepted in China

Sep 11, 2026

On 11 September 2026, Shanghai Henlius Biotech announced that China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted for review the new drug application (NDA) for HLX14 (120 mg/1.7 mL per vial), biosimilar to Amgen’s Xgeva® (denosumab).  This follows NMPA acceptance of Henlius’ NDA for a 60 mg/1.0 mL strength of HLX14 in December 2025.

HXL14 was approved in the EU and the US in September 2025, as Bildyos® (referencing Amgen’s Prolia®) and Bilprevda® (referencing Xgeva®), for all reference indications.  In March 2026, Henlius and its licensee, Organon, settled BPCIA litigation brought by Amgen in June 2025 in relation to Bildyos® and Bilprevda®.  HLX14 has also been approved in Canada, as Bildyos® and Tuzemty® (March 2026).

Shanghai Henlius entered into a licence agreement with Organon in June 2022 under which Organon has exclusive global commercialisation rights to HLX14 for all countries except China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

There are a number of denosumab biosimilars approved in China, including Mabwell’s Mailishu® (approved March 2024, referencing Xgeva®) and Maiweijian® (approved May 2026, referencing Prolia®); Boan Biotech’s Boyoubei® (November 2022, referencing Prolia®) and Boluojia® (approved 2024, expanded May 2026, referencing Xgeva®); and Mabpharm’s Puboli® (approved June 2026, referencing Prolia®).
