Evista Risk of Mortality. Eli Lilly Canada Inc., following discussions with Health Canada, would like to inform you of important new safety information regarding Evista (raloxifene hydrochloride) resulting from the Raloxifene Use for The Heart (RUTH) trial.
The RUTH trial, a large-scale placebo-controlled study, investigated whether a 60 mg daily dose of raloxifene hydrochloride would reduce the risk of coronary events and the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with known heart disease or at high risk for a coronary event. The study included more than 10,000 women (average age = 67 years) from 26 countries who were followed for up to seven years. All women enrolled in RUTH had known heart disease or were at high risk for a coronary event.
