Expert Participants Additional External Consultants Joseph Costantino, DrPHDirector, NSABP Biostatistical CenterNational Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) Norman Wolmark, MDChairman, NSABPNational Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) • Eli Lilly and Company • Bruce Mitlak, MD (moderator) • John Mershon, MD • Dan Masica, MD • Michelle McNabb, MS • Jingli Song, PhD • Matt Rotelli, PhD • Dan Brady, PhD

  4. Why Is Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Important? • 2nd most common cause of cancer death in women • 178,000 cases diagnosed annually • 40,000 deaths annually • Disease prevention remains an unmet need in breast cancer • Identification of women at risk continues to improve • Postmenopausal women need additional options to reduce risk of breast cancer

  5. Raloxifene is aSelective Estrogen Receptor Modulator • Non-steroidal ligand of the estrogen receptor • Has estrogen-like effects in some tissues • Blocks estrogen effects in other tissues Evista® (raloxifene HCl 60 mg/day) is approved for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis

  6. Raloxifene Development HistoryBreast Cancer (1982-1998) • 1982-1990 IND for treatment of Breast Cancer opened with the Oncology Division • IND for osteoporosis opened with Endocrine Division • MORE study initiated (breast cancer – secondary endpoint) • IND for invasive breast cancer risk reduction opened • IND for STAR opened by NSABP • RUTH study initiated (CV risk reduction)

  7. Raloxifene Development HistoryBreast Cancer (1999 – present) • CORE study initiated (follow-up to MORE; invasive breast cancer – primary endpoint) • RUTH protocol amended to add invasive breast cancer as a second primary endpoint • 2005 Pre-NDA meetings with the Oncology Division • 2006 Invasive breast cancer risk reduction NDA submitted

  8. Evista®: Current Indication The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. • Proposed Additional Indication • The reduction in risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

  9. Evista®: Current Indication The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. • Proposed Additional Indication • The reduction in risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer.

  10. Studied in More Than 37,000 PostmenopausalWomen Across a Spectrum of Breast Cancer Risk • Randomized active comparator trial Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene (STAR) • Randomized placebo-controlled trials Raloxifene Use for The Heart Trial (RUTH) Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation (MORE) • Placebo-controlled follow-up study of MORE participants Continuing Outcomes Relevant to Evista (CORE) 76,000 patient years of exposure to raloxifene

  33. Background RUTH • RUTH began enrollment in June, 1998 • It was believed that estrogen may reduce risk of CHD by improving lipoproteins and vascular function • Raloxifene improved lipoproteins and fibrinogen • Hypothesis: Treatment with raloxifene would reduce the risk of CHD events.

  49. Safety SummaryRUTH • Compared to placebo, raloxifene was associated with: • Increased risk of VTEs • No effect on all-cause mortality • No effect on all strokes • Increased risk of death due to stroke • Reduced risk of clinical vertebral fractures

  50. Safety Information in Evista Label • Based on the osteoporosis prevention and treatment trials, MORE and CORE, the safety profile in the label includes: • VTEs • Hot flushes, leg cramps, peripheral edema • Based on the RUTH trial, the label also states: • Evista should not be used for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. • Increased risk of death due to stroke occurred in a trial in postmenopausal women with documented coronary heart disease or at increased risk for major coronary events. No increased risk of stroke was seen. Consider risk-benefit balance in women at risk for stroke.
