Intramuscular and subcutaneous gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist tests for central precocious puberty in girls: a randomized controlled trial

Worapimon Lerdrassameethad, Suttipong Wacharasindhu, Vichit Supornsilchai, Khomsak Srilanchakon

Background: Central precocious puberty (CPP) results from premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Although the standard intravenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test is often inaccessible, a subcutaneous (SC) GnRH analogue (GnRHa) test is used. However, the conventional SC route presents logistical challenges including prolonged observation times and the need for multiple blood draws. Thus, identifying a more efficient administration route...

Question: What are the differences in efficacy between leuprolide acetate and triptorelin pamoate administered every 3 months for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP)?
Finding: There were no significant intergroup differences in luteinizing hormone suppression or predicted adult height at the end of treatment in girls with CPP.
Meaning: Leuprolide acetate and triptorelin pamoate have comparable efficacy for treating CPP.
