About this trial

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of the 3-month formulation and 1-month formulation of triptorelin and to assess the short-term effects of the 3-month formulation of triptorelin on glucose and lipid metabolism, body composition, and bone density in Chinese ICPP patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Early appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, specifically breast development in girls before 8 years old or menarche before 10 years old, and testicular enlargement in boys before 9 years old.

Gonadal enlargement: pelvic ultrasound shows that girls have at least one ovarian follicle with a diameter >4mm, and breast development is at least at Tanner stage II; boys have a testicular volume ≥ 4 ml (measured with Prader orchidometer).

GnRH stimulation test: LH peak value ≥ 5 IU/L (chemiluminescence method), with an LH peak/FSH peak ratio ≥ 0.6.

Bone age (BA) exceeds chronological age (CA) by 1 year or more (based on bone age assessment during the screening period at this center).

Disqualifiers

Secondary central precocious puberty: This includes central nervous system abnormalities (tumors or space-occupying lesions, acquired injuries, congenital developmental abnormalities, etc.) and other diseases (congenital adrenal hyperplasia, familial male-limited precocious puberty, McCune-Albright syndrome, etc.).

Slow-progressing central precocious puberty: Some children show signs of sexual development before the defined age (7-8 years), but the progression of sexual development and bone age is slow, and linear growth remains within the corresponding percentiles.

Known hypersensitivity to any investigational substance or related compounds.

Any chronic disease or treatment deemed by the investigator to potentially interfere with growth or other study endpoints [including but not limited to: long-term glucocorticoid use (excluding short-term topical use), renal failure, diabetes, moderate to severe scoliosis].

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The proportion of LH of ≤ 3 IU/L

In the GnRHa stimulation test, triptorelin is administered intravenously at a dose of 0.1 mg/m² (with a maximum dose of 0.1 mg). Blood samples are collected 60 minutes after administration to measure luteinizing hormone (LH) levels.Serum LH levels were measured by electroimmunochemiluminescence assays.

Time frame
3 months after injection of 3-month TP and 1-month TP

Secondary outcomes

1

Basal LH( IU/L),Basal FSH(IU/L), Estradiol (female) (pg/mL)and testosterone (male)(pg/mL)

Changes in baseline luteinizing hormone (LH) levels ,follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), and testosterone (T) after treatment compared to baseline.Serum LH, FSH, estradiol and testosterone levels were measured by electroimmunochemiluminescence assays.

Time frame
Month 0, 3 ,6 and 12 after injection of triptorelin 3M and 1M
2

Tanner stage

Percentage of children with regression or no progression in Tanner staging. Pubertal stage was determined by an experienced pediatric endocrinologist according to the method proposed by Marshall and Tanner.

Time frame
Month 0, 3 ,6 and 12 after injection of triptorelin 3M and 1M
3

Uterine length (female)(mL) and testicular volume (male)(mL)

Changes in uterine length and ovarian volume for girls, and testicular volume for boys. Pelvic ultrasound will be used to measure the uterine length and ovarian dimensions (length, width, and thickness). The ovarian volume will be calculated using the given formula.The Prader orchidometer will be used to measure the testicular volume before and after treatment.

Time frame
Month 0, 3 ,6 and 12 after injection of triptorelin 3M and 1M
4

Growth velocity (cm/y)

Changes in growth velocity (GV) after treatment compared to baseline.Growth velocity (GV) is typically measured as the annual growth rate, which is the increase in height over a year.

Time frame
Month 0, 3 ,6 and 12 after injection of triptorelin 3M and 1M
