NCT ID NCT05341115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called leuprorelin to control central precocious puberty, a condition where children start puberty too early. About 80 children received an injection every 12 weeks for 6 months. The goal was to suppress hormones that drive early puberty, helping children develop at a more normal pace.
