Popis: Five randomized, phase-3 trials demonstrated the efficacy and safety of conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene (CE/BZA) in treating menopausal symptoms and preserving bone. This pooled analysis of these studies describes the cardiovascular safety of CE/BZA.We pooled cardiovascular adjudicated safety data from healthy, non-hysterectomized, postmenopausal women who received ≥ 1 dose of CE 0.45 mg/BZA 20 mg (n = 1585), CE 0.625 mg/BZA 20 mg (n = 1583), any CE/BZA dose (n = 4868), or placebo (n = 1241) for up to 2 years in five trials. Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), coronary heart disease (CHD), and cerebrovascular events were reviewed by three different independent adjudication committees and summarized using a meta-analytic approach.The rate of VTEs per 1000 woman-years (95% confidence interval, CI) was 0.3 (0.0-2.0) in women taking CE 0.45 mg/BZA 20 mg, 0 (0.0-1.5) in those taking CE 0.625 mg/BZA 20 mg, 0.7 (0.0-1.5) among women taking any CE/BZA dose, and 0.6 (0.0-2.9) with placebo. The incidence of stroke per 1000 woman-years (95% CI) was 0.4 (0.0-2.4), 0.2 (0.0-1.9), 0.44 (0.0-1.1), and 0.0 (0.0-1.7), respectively. The CHD rate per 1000 woman-years was 2.6 (0.0-5.6), 1.4 (0.0-3.9), 2.4 (1.00-3.7) and 2.0 (0.0-5.2). Compared with placebo, relative risk (95% CI) with any CE/BZA dose was 0.5 (0.1-1.8) for VTE, 0.5 (0.1-2.6) for stroke, and 0.63 (0.23-1.74) for CHD.Up to 2 years of CE 0.45 or CE 0.625 mg with BZA 20 mg had an acceptable cardiovascular safety profile, with rates of stroke and CHD comparable to placebo in healthy postmenopausal women. VTE risk was low.
