September 18, 2007 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

Long-Term Effects of Raloxifene Treatment on Bone Quality: A Cross-Sectional Study of Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis Previously Enrolled in the Continuing Outcomes Relevant to Evista Study

This is a cross-sectional study to determine, via iliac crest bone biopsies, the effect of long-term treatment with raloxifene on histomorphometry and bone quality in patients who participated in the Continuing Outcomes Relevant to Evista Study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have completed the CORE protocol within 3 months (90 days) prior to study entry and enrollment.
  • Have taken randomized study material for at least 7 years since enrollment in the MORE protocol. If the patient opted not to receive randomized study material for a period of 6 months at any point during either the MORE or CORE protocol, this period must have occurred in its entirety before Visit 3 of the CORE protocol.
  • Overall, were at least 75% compliant with randomized study material during the MORE and CORE protocols.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have an allergy or other intolerance to tetracycline hydrochloride that would preclude its administration in conjunction with the bone biopsy procedures. If the patient is not allergic to all tetracyclines, then this exclusion may be waived by the sponsor and a different tetracycline to which the patient is not allergic may be used.
  • Have undergone two previous transiliac bone biopsies (one in each iliac crest). Patients with one previous transiliac bone biopsy are eligible provided that the new sample is obtained from the contralateral iliac crest.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, have any medical or anatomical condition that potentially could put the patient at additional risk of an adverse event due to the procedure (for example, coagulation abnormality, extreme obesity, etc.).
  • Have a history of bone metabolic diseases, Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, any secondary causes of osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism (uncorrected), and intestinal malabsorption.
  • Have a history of malignant neoplasms in the prior 5 years, with the exception of superficial basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been definitively treated. If malignant neoplasm was ever diagnosed, patient must presently be free of disease.
