摘要：Background
We compared the efficacy of a fixed dose combination of raloxifene 60 mg/vitamin D 800 IU to raloxifene 60 mg alone on vitamin D status, as indicated by change in serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25[OH]D) levels.
Methods
In this 16-week, open-label, randomized, active controlled, multicenter clinical trial conducted in 4 university-affiliated hospitals in Korea, postmenopausal women aged 55 to 70 years with osteoporosis or osteopenia were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive raloxifene 60 mg/cholecalciferol 800 IU combination therapy or raloxifene 60 mg monotherapy. Primary endpoint was change in serum 25(OH)D level from baseline to 16 weeks after the intervention.
Results
A total of 96 participants were randomly assigned to raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy (N=49) and raloxifene monotherapy (N=47) groups. At week 16, serum 25(OH)D level increased from baseline, only in the raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy group. Change in serum 25(OH)D level from baseline to week 16 was higher in the raloxifene/vitamin D combination therapy group (2.7±6.5 ng/mL) than in the raloxifene monotherapy (−1.7±6.2 ng/mL;
P=0.0034) group. Proportions and number of adverse events (AEs) categorized by the System-Organ Class were not different between the groups. There was only one severe AE case (spondylolisthesis; raloxifene/vitamin D group), unlikely to be related to trial intervention.
Conclusions
Among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia, a fixed dose combination of raloxifene 60 mg/vitamin D 800 IU showed superior efficacy in elevating serum 25(OH)D levels compared with raloxifene 60 mg alone during 16 weeks of follow-up. The safety of raloxifene/vitamin D combination was comparable to raloxifene alone.
