An Open-label, Single Arm, Multicenter Study on the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Leuprolide Acetate 45 mg for Injectable Suspension Controlled Release in Subjects With Central (Gonadotropin-Dependent) Precocious Puberty
This study determines the effectiveness of leuprolide acetate 45 mg for injectable suspension
for treatment of children with Central Precocious Puberty.
for treatment of children with Central Precocious Puberty.
Leuprolide acetate is a GnRH agonist that inhibits pituitary gonadotropin secretion by
binding to the GnRH receptors and blocking downstream hormone synthesis. The steady decrease
in hormone synthesis (LH and FSH) leads to a suppression of testicular and ovarian
steroidogenesis. In children with CPP, this steady decrease in hormone synthesis disrupts the
progression of puberty.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Females age 2 to 8 years (inclusive) or males age 2 to 9 years (inclusive)
- Confirmed diagnosis of CPP within 12 months of Baseline Visit (Day 0) but have not
received prior GnRH agonist treatment for CPP
- Pubertal-type LH response following an abbreviated GnRHa stimulation test before
treatment initiation
- Clinical evidence of puberty, defined as Tanner stage ≥ 2 for breast development in
females or testicular volume ≥ 4 mL in males
- Difference between bone age (Greulich and Pyle method) and chronological age ≥ 1 year
Exclusion Criteria:
- Gonadotropin-independent (peripheral) precocious puberty
- Prior or current GnRH treatment for CPP
- Prior or current therapy with medroxyprogesterone acetate, growth hormone or
insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
- Diagnosis of short stature (ie, 2.25 standard deviations (SD) below the mean height
for age)
- Known history of seizures, epilepsy, and/or central nervous system disorders that may
be associated with seizures or convulsions
- Any other medical condition or serious intercurrent illness that, in the opinion of
the Investigator, may make it undesirable for the subject to participate in the study
