E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Central Precocious Puberty |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Precocious puberty is a condition that causes early sexual development in girls and boys. |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Body processes [G] - Reproductive physiologi cal processes [G08] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this study is to observe whether the Triptorelin pamoate 15mg (3-month formulation) effectiveness in Chinese population of CPP children has the same or similar trend with that in overseas CPP population. This is measured by assessing the proportion of children who have a suppressed Luteinizing Hormone (LH) response to Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) test performed 3 months after injection of triptorelin. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: • To assess the efficacy in suppressed LH response to GnRH test at Month 6 • To assess follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) response to GnRH test at Month 3 and Month 6 • To assess LH and FSH levels at Month 3 and Month 6 • To assess sex hormone serum concentrations (oestradiol for girls and testosterone for boys) at Month 3 and Month 6 • To assess sexual maturation (pubertal stage as per Tanner method) at Month 6 • To assess auxological parameters including height, growth velocity, weight and body mass index (BMI) at Month 3 and Month 6 • To assess bone age (BA), the difference between BA and chronological age (CA) at Month 6 • To assess gonadal development as determined by uterine length in girls and testicular volume in boys at Month 6 • To assess the safety profile.
