First study tracking early puberty signs
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study observes children who show signs of puberty earlier than usual. It aims to better understand early and advanced puberty by tracking children's development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If your child shows first signs of puberty before age 8 (girls) or 9 (boys), they may join the early puberty group.
- If your child starts puberty between ages 8-10 (girls) or 9-11 (boys), they may join the advanced puberty group.
- Children without any puberty signs (Tanner stage 1) who are the same sex and close in age may join the control group.
- All children must have a first visit with the study doctor and family must speak French.
- Your child is allowed to take part in only one of these groups.

This study follows children who have signs of early puberty to learn how often it happens and what may cause it. Your child may be included if they were referred for possible precocious (too-early) puberty after age 4.
This study looks at why some girls start breast development early (between ages 6 and 8). It aims to understand how the environment may play a role. If your daughter has early breast growth, this study may help provide answers.
This study looks at how puberty changes happen in healthy children and teens. By tracking normal development, researchers hope to better understand puberty timing and patterns.
This study looks at children with central precocious puberty (early puberty that starts in the brain) to see how often it's linked with other developmental issues. It compares how these children develop and respond to treatment.
This study follows children who were born very prematurely to better understand body changes during puberty. It involves follow-up visits and special body-composition measurements to see how growth and health progress over time.
This study follows families from an earlier infant feeding study to better understand what affects when puberty starts. It looks at growth and hormone-related health information to explain differences in pubertal development.
