Introduction Conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene (CE/BZA) relieves menopausal symptoms and increases bone mineral density (BMD). Objective To evaluate CE/BZA in a Latin American subpopulation from randomized, double-blind, phase-3, multinational trials. Methods Safety data were pooled from three trials from non-hysterectomized postmenopausal Latin American women assigned to CE 0.45 mg/BZA 20 mg (n = 227), CE 0.625 mg/BZA 20 mg (n = 222), or placebo (n = 193). Efficacy outcomes from one study included changes in hot flush frequency at week 12 in women with at least seven moderate/severe hot flushes/day or 50/week at baseline (n = 39), and from baseline to month 12 for BMD (n = 381) and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) (women with baseline GSM; n = 189). Results At week 12, women taking CE/BZA had four to five fewer moderate/severe hot flushes/day vs. placebo. At month 12, percentage changes in BMD with CE 0.45 mg/BZA 20 mg, CE 0.625 mg/BZA 20 mg, and placebo were 1.2%, 1.6%, and -1.1% for lumbar spine and 1.1%, 1.2%, and -0.3% for total hip. GSM improved with treatment (percentage superficial cells: 4.5, 7.4, vs. 2.0; percentage parabasal cells: -9.3, -27.8 vs. 2.8). There were no new/unexpected safety trends. Conclusion CE/BZA improved vasomotor symptoms, GSM, and BMD in Latin American women, with efficacy/safety similar to the global population.

D004966 Estrogens, Conjugated (USP) A pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of water-soluble, conjugated estrogens derived wholly or in part from URINE of pregnant mares or synthetically from ESTRONE and EQUILIN. It contains a sodium-salt mixture of estrone sulfate (52-62%) and equilin sulfate (22-30%) with a total of the two between 80-88%. Other concomitant conjugates include 17-alpha-dihydroequilin, 17-alpha-estradiol, and 17-beta-dihydroequilin. The potency of the preparation is expressed in terms of an equivalent quantity of sodium estrone sulfate.
