South Korea | Clinical trial case-control study | 130 |
RLX:60.1 |
Low to severe RA | RA: 86 |
RLX (60 mg/day) plus elemental calcium (1,200 mg/day) | +0.9±0.7%; P=0.04 vs. +0.4±0.1%; P=0.05 | +1.1±0.5%; P=0.03 vs. 1.5±0.7%; P=0.04 | 12months | Long-term corticosteroid therapy | Total hip and lumbar spinal BMD scores increased due to using RLX. |
| Mok et al. (2010) [ |
China | Parallel-group randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled trial | 114 |
55.3 | Low to severe RA | SLE: 62 |
60 mg/day | +1.3±0.4%; P=0.004 | +1.0±0.4%; P=0.01 | 12months | Prednisolone received for 62.2months (6.7mg/day) | RLX leads to increasing the spinal and hip BMD after 12 months of treatment. |

RLX:72 |
Low RA disease activity (DAS287 ≤3.2) | RA | 60 mg/day | -- | -- | -- | -- | A significant difference in serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin levels was reported between RLX and control groups. |

Romania | Clinical trial case-control study | 30 | Range: 55–64 | RA | 60 mg/day | -- | -- | -- | Long-term corticosteroid therapy | Raloxifene significantly increased spinal and hip BMD after 12 months of treatment in RA postmenopausal women. | |
| Guiducci et al. (2005) [ |
Italy | In vitro case-control study | RA:4 |
Matched between two groups | -- | RA | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | Higher levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, lower levels of urokinase plasminogen activator, and lower levels of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor were reported in RA patients treated with RLX in comparison to those reported in the control group. |
