Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    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.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures, the investigator or his representative explained the nature of the study to the subject and the subject's parent or legal guardian and answered all questions regarding this study. The informed consent statement was reviewed and signed and dated by the subject's parent or legal guardian and by the person who administered the informed consent.

    Screening details
    This study included 1 treatment group and subjects were assigned the initial dosage depending on their weight. The minimum starting dose was 7.5 mg every 28 days. Study drug was discontinued either when puberty occurred at 12 years +- 6 months for males and 11 years +- 6 months for females or at the discretion of the investigator.

    End point description
    Suppression of clinical sexual characteristics was defined as regression (improvement) or no progression of breast development in females. Tanner staging is a scale of physical development that defines primary and secondary sex characteristics including size of breasts. The final visit occurred at a mean age +/- SD of 11.05 +/- 1.14 years (range, 6.96 to 12.95 years). The intent-to-treat (ITT) population and safety analysis set were identical for the treatment period. The starting population comprised 49 females (breast development suppression).

    Posttreatment Height (ht.) Compared to Standard Population and as Predicted From Ht. at Baseline (BL)
    End point description
    Height was measured by stadiometer and was standardized for age according to standard growth charts. A standardized score of 0 indicated a mean ht. equivalent to mean of a standard population from 2000 CDC standardized ht. charts. Height gain was calculated as ht. - predicted ht. from the Bayley-Pinneau method on the basis of bone age at baseline. Final adult ht. was determined by measurement at final adult ht., if available, or by ht. collected during the follow-up period associated with a growth velocity <1 cm/year or a bone age >14 yrs in females or >15 yrs in males. For the follow-up posttreatment period, the ITT population=40 subjects and the safety population=55 subjects who received at least 1 injection of study drug during the treatment period. Study drug was discontinued at the initiation of puberty. The mean age of subjects at final questionnaire completion was 24.76 years with a range of 18.87 to 26.66.
