Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Peak Stimulated Luteinizing Hormone (<4 mIU/mL) From Month 2 Through Month 6
Month 2 through 6

Percentage of participants with suppression of peak stimulated luteinizing hormone that was measured after a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) stimulation test at Month (Mo) 2, 3, and 6. The analysis was performed according to a life table method. Subjects who withdrew without peak-stimulated luteinizing hormone \>= 4 mIU/mL were censored at their last measurement of peak-stimulated luteinizing hormone.

Frequently asked questions about Leuprolide

What is Leuprolide used for in precocious puberty?

Leuprolide is used to treat central precocious puberty, a condition in which children begin puberty too early. It is given to suppress the hormonal signals that drive early sexual development. In this program it was studied in children aged 2 years and older with a diagnosis of precocious puberty.

How does Leuprolide work?

Leuprolide is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GNRHR) agonist. It binds to and activates GNRHR, initially stimulating then desensitizing the receptor, which reduces downstream release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. This suppression lowers sex steroid production and slows the progression of central precocious puberty.

Who makes Leuprolide?

Leuprolide is developed by Abbott Laboratories, which trades under the ticker ABT. Abbott Laboratories sponsored the Phase 3 study of leuprolide 11.25 mg and 30 mg administered every three months for central precocious puberty.

What phase is Leuprolide in?

Leuprolide is in Phase 3 development for central precocious puberty. The completed Phase 3 trial evaluated leuprolide 11.25 mg and 30 mg given every three months. It is an investigational use in this program and is not described as approved for this indication.

What clinical trials is Leuprolide in?

Leuprolide has been studied in one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT00635817, titled A Study of Leuprolide 11.25 mg and 30 mg Administered Every 3 Months to Treat Central Precocious Puberty. The trial enrolled 84 participants across the United States and Puerto Rico and was randomized and controlled.
