Comparing 3-month vs 1-month injection for early puberty
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a 3-month injection compared to a 1-month injection for children with central precocious puberty (early puberty). The goal is to see if the longer-lasting shot works just as well and is safe while helping children grow at a normal pace.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have started showing signs of puberty earlier than usual (breast growth before age 8 in girls, testicle growth before age 9 in boys).
- Your child's bone age must be at least 1 year older than their actual age.
- Your child must not have been treated with puberty-delaying medicine before.
- Your child must weigh at least 20 kilograms (about 44 pounds).
- Your child must not have a condition that causes early puberty, like a brain tumor or certain genetic disorders.
- For girls, their bone age must be 12.5 years or younger, and they must not have had their period for more than 1 year. For boys, bone age must be 14 years or younger.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a monthly injection of leuprorelin to see if it can slow or stop early puberty in children with central precocious puberty. It may help children who start puberty too early grow at a more typical pace.
This study uses a hormone called triptorelin to help doctors find the cause of delayed or stalled puberty in teenagers and young adults. The goal is to see if this medicine can clearly tell whether the problem is in the brain or elsewhere in the body.
This trial tests a new hormone injection (a fusion protein that mimics FSH) plus another hormone (hCG) to stimulate testicle growth and testosterone production in teenage boys with a condition that delays puberty. It aims to see if this treatment can safely start puberty.
This trial tests if Chinese traditional medicine plus intradermal acupuncture can help treat early puberty (precocious puberty) in girls. It aims to slow down puberty that started too soon, avoiding the need for stronger medications.
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 trial tests if a new weekly growth hormone shot (somatrogon) works as well as a daily one (Genotropin) for children who are short because they were born small or have no clear cause.
