Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE) Trial Summary
• Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled osteoporosis treatment trial in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (N=7705)
• 4 years of treatment• 3 treatment arms:
– Placebo (n=2576)– Raloxifene 60 mg/d (n=2557)– Raloxifene 120 mg/d (n=2572)
• 1ary endpoints: vertebral fracture, BMD, safety• 2ary endpoints: all osteoporotic fractures, cardiovascular
health, breast cancer, cognitive function
6
MORE Trial Results, 4 YearsPostmenopausal women with osteoporosistreated with raloxifene had:• A modest increase in lumbar spine & femoral
neck BMD• A decreased risk of new vertebral fractures • No reduction in risk for all non-vertebral
fractures• A decreased risk of new non-vertebral fractures
at 6 major sites*: clavicle, humerus, wrist, pelvis, hip, leg in women with prevalent vertebral fractures
• A lower incidence of breast cancer

Skeletal Effects of Raloxifene after 8 Years: Strength & Limitations
• Strength: Placebo controlled for 8 years• Limitations:
– Differences between the women who did & did not enroll in CORE
– Disparities between the placebo & raloxifene groups in CORE
– A greater use of bone-active drugs in the placebo group after year 3
– 20% elected not to take the study drug

EVA (Evista® Vs. Alendronate comparison trial)

• Original protocol: – 3000 postmenopausal women– age 50-80y– FN BMD T-score: -4.0 to -2.5– no prevalent spine fractures– no prior use of bone-active agents– duration: 5 y
• Early discontinuation due to slow enrollment, insufficient power to detect non-inferiority

STAR• Objectives:
– Compare Raloxifene Vs Tamoxifen for reduction of the incidence rate of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women
– Compare the effects on the incidence of• Intraductal / lobular carcinoma in-situ • Endometrial cancer • Ischemic heart disease,• Fractures (hip, spine, or Colles’)
– Safety of these regimens– Quality of life
• N = 19,000• Length : 5 years• Primary results are expected in 2006
36
Raloxifene Use for The HeartTrial Design
• Double-blind, placebo-controlled, long-term coronary & breast cancer outcomes trial in postmenopausal women at risk of acute coronary events
• Combination of secondary and primary prevention (women with documented CAD and / or risk factors)
• Started in 1998 (enrollment complete 8/2000)
• N=10,101
• Length: up to 7.5 y

NICE Recommendation on Raloxifene; 10/2005 Draft
• Not recommended as a treatment option for primary prevention of fractures– The breast cancer benefit should not be a
driver of any positive recommendation– The cost effectiveness of fracture prevention
is unfavorable relative to bisphosphonates & strontium
38
NICE Recommendation on Raloxifene; 10/2005 Draft
• For secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures:– Raloxifene was not as effective or cost-effective as
bisphosphonates or strontium for treating osteoporosis
– The effect on prevention of breast cancer has not been assessed by the regulatory authorities
– The long-term risks beyond 8 years are uncertain
• Raloxifene should be recommended as a treatment option when bisphosphonates or strontium are contraindicated / impractical / ineffective
39
Cost-effectiveness of Raloxifene
• Examining the health economic implications of raloxifene treatment for 5 years, followed by no treatment for 5 years
• In a UK setting
• Based on the results of MORE
• Compared to no treatment
• The threshold of cost effectiveness used by NICE* for starting treatment between age 50-80y 30,000 £

Summary & Unanswered Questions
• Raloxifene is an alternative for bisphosphonates for treatment / prevention of osteoporosis when hip fracture risk is estimated to be low
• Raloxifene is less effective than bisphosphonates in preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women
• Raloxifene reduces the risk of invasive ER+ breast cancer– What is the best drug for prevention of breast cancer?– Who should be treated? – The optimal duration of preventive therapy?– Is there a survival benefit?– Should postmenopausal women at increased risk of breast cancer
receive raloxifene ?• If they are taking other anti-osteoporotic agents?• If they do not have osteoporosis?
– Can SERM’s be combined with HRT?
