Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if leuprolide acetate (11. 25 mg and 30 mg) is safe in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty over a longer period of time (12 months).

Clinical Details

Official title: A 12 Month, Multi-Center, Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety of Leuprolide Acetate 11.25 mg and 30 mg Formulations in Children With Central Precocious Puberty

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Parallel Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: Suppression of luteinizing hormone concentrations (<4 mIU/mL).

Secondary outcome:

Suppression of sex steroids (estradiol <20 pg/mL in girls and testosterone <30 ng/dL in boys).

Peak stimulated luteinizing hormone concentrations.

Suppression of the physical signs of puberty.

Change from baseline (from the lead-in study) in growth rate within each of the subgroups of children not previously treated and and previously treated.

The ratio of change from baseline (form the lead-in study) in bone age/change from baseline in chronological age within each of the subgroups of children not previously treated and previously treated.

Detailed description: Approximately 70 subjects with Central Precocious Puberty from approximately 25 sites who completed the treatment period of the lead-in study, L-CP07-167, will enter this 12 month open-label extension study.

Subjects will receive a total of four (4) injections of the same treatment they received in the lead-in study, either leuprolide acetate 11. 25 mg or 30 mg depot formulation, each injection administered 3 months apart.

This study includes a 12-month treatment period (four 3-month treatment cycles), and a posttreatment follow-up period (12 weeks following the Month 12 visit). Study visits will occur at Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12, and 12 weeks later, for the Posttreatment Follow-up Visit.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 2 Years. Maximum age: 12 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject completed the Treatment Period of the lead-in study, L-CP07-167, and has

documented luteinizing hormone suppression as evidenced by peak-stimulated luteinizing hormone <4 mIU/mL at the Month 6 study visit of the lead-in study.

- Demonstrated suppression of the physical signs of puberty at Month 6 of the lead-in

study.

- Subject is expected to receive at least 12 months of therapy to treat Central

Precocious Puberty after study entry.

- In general good health with no uncontrolled, clinically significant disease which

would interfere with bone maturation or mask the objectives of this protocol as assessed by the investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Incomplete precocious puberty (premature thelarche, premature adrenarche).

- Bone age >/=14 years for girls and >/=15 years for boys (based on the Month 6 lead in

study, L-CP07-167, radiographic results

- Has an abnormal laboratory value suggesting a clinically significant underlying

disease or condition.

- Chronic illness requiring treatment that may interfere with growth, ie, chronic

steroid use, renal failure, moderate to severe scoliosis.

- Current therapy with medroxyprogesterone acetate.

- Current therapy with growth hormone.

- Current therapy with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

- Current use of an estrogen preparation.

- Any concomitant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may

expose a subject to an unacceptable level of safety risk or that affects subject compliance.

- Subject has a positive pregnancy test.
