Lasofoxifene in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis

Abstract: In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, lasofoxifene at a dose of 0.5 mg per day was associated with reduced risks of nonvertebral and vertebral fractures, ER-positive breast cancer, coronary heart disease, and stroke but an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00141323.)

“…The incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was also reduced (HR 0.72; 95% CI 0.57-0.92), but the frequency of estrogen receptor-negative breast cancers was non-significantly increased (HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.86-1.49). Similar results were achieved if other SERMS such as raloxifene [23,24,25,26] or the third-generation substances lasofoxifene and arzoxifene were used [27,28,29,30]. In the meta-analysis [22,] overall reduction in breast cancer (including DCIS) was 38% (p < 0.0001) for all SERMs.…”

“…Estrogen replacement therapy has been the most popular treatment for osteoporosis in the last decade [4]. However, prolonged use of estrogen increases the risk of breast cancer and endometrial cancer, coronary heart disease or stroke, and venous thromboembolic diseases [5][6][7][8]. Biophosphonate therapy though it inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts, could cause severe incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain [9,10].…”

“…Bazedoxifene, available in Europe, and combined with conjugated estrogen in the USA, has been studied in fracture prevention but the effects to prevent or treat breast cancer are unknown [45]. Lasofoxifene, another SERM in development, reduced vertebral fracture risk and ER-positive breast cancers in postmenopausal as well [46].…”
