In the EU, the marketing of Prolia will be split between AMGN and GSK
according to the indication: GSK in osteoporosis and AMGN in oncology.

In the US, Prolia received a Complete Response Letter for the indication in the first bullet above and a variation of the second bullet above that includes non-metastatic breast cancer as well as prostate cancer (#msg-42814924, #msg-41722030).
