This study determines the effectiveness of leuprolide acetate 45 mg for injectable suspension 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.
