The objective was to evaluate the effects of bazedoxifene acetate (BZA), a new selective estrogen receptor modulator, on coronary and peripheral artery atherosclerosis and to determine if it would antagonize the atheroprotective effects of conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) in a monkey model. Ninety-eight surgically postmenopausal monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were fed a moderately atherogenic diet and then randomized to receive no treatment, or women’s equivalent doses of BZA (20 mg/day), CEE (0.45 mg/day) or BZA+CEE. The experiment period was for 20 months (approximately equivalent to 5 years of patient experience) during which interim measures were made of cardiovascular risk factors. At the end of the experimental period, the extent and severity of coronary and iliac artery atherosclerosis was quantified. Body weight, adiposity, fasting glucose concentrations and plasma lipid profiles were not different among treatment conditions. BZA had no adverse effects on coronary artery nor common iliac artery atherosclerosis extent or severity when compared to no-treatment. CEE, administered soon after inducing menopause, had a robust atheroprotective effect on both iliac and coronary artery extent and severity. The addition of BZA to the CEE treatment antagonized the atheroprotective effect of the CEE. In this nonhuman primate trial, treatment with BZA alone, CEE alone and BZA and CEE in combination did not have significant effects on plasma lipid profiles. CEE markedly inhibited the progression and complication of both coronary and iliac artery atherosclerosis. BZA had no adverse effects on atherosclerosis but attenuated the atheroprotective effects of CEE.
