Summary
It has been shown that women who have dense breasts have an increased risk of breast cancer
compared with women whose breasts are less dense. However, while breast density may be a
risk factor, the etiology of the relationship between breast cancer and breast density is not
understood. Furthermore, it is well recognized that breast cancer can still develop in women
whose breasts are not dense.
At menopause, the amount of breast glandular tissue and stroma naturally decreases due to a
lack of hormonal stimulation. This is characterized as a decrease in the mammographic
density. Although certain medications, including hormone therapy (HT) and dopamine
antagonists can increase breast density, these effects are reversible upon discontinuation of
the specific agent. Other medications such as the selective estrogen receptor modulators
(SERM), raloxifene (RAL) and tamoxifen, have been shown to not affect breast density and
allow the normal age-related changes to occur. The effects of bazedoxifene (BZA), a new
SERM, on breast density are not known. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of
BZA on breast density changes over 24 months in postmenopausal women. The results may be
useful for clinicians to understand the effect of BZA on breast density and its mammographic
effects.
This is an observational, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and active
comparator-controlled study. It is also an ancillary that will use women who are already
participants in a phase 3 trial for fracture reduction (protocol 3068A1-301-WW; primary
study). In the primary study, subjects received BZA 20 mg, BZA 40 mg, RAL 60 mg, or placebo.
This ancillary study will request a subset of participants to use their mammograms taken in
this study. Their mammogram will be digitized by a central imaging center. A single
radiologist will perform the quantifications of breast density from the digitized
mammograms.
