About
The purpose of this study is to determine if Lupron (leuprolide acetate) is safe and effective in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty (CPP), and to assess long term effects of leuprolide acetate treatment after therapy is discontinued.
Full description
This study includes a Prestudy Period; a treatment period where subjects will receive treatment every 4 weeks until the initiation of puberty (age 12 for males and age 11 for females); a follow-up period where subjects will be observed every 6 months until physical and laboratory observations are at pubertal levels, then every 12 months for 5 years; lastly a final follow-up questionnaire is given to all subjects when they are at least 18 years old.
At the treatment visits, efficacy assessments are Tanner staging (suppression of breast development in females and genital development in males), gonadotropins (LH and FSH), sex steroids (estradiol in females and testosterone in males), ratio of bone age to chronological age, adult height compared to a standard population and predicted mature height, and age and time to regular menses in females. This protocol will also capture data from the final questionnaire about female reproductive status at adulthood including the presence of regular menses and number of pregnancies.
