ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We evaluated the efficacy, safety and psychological aspect of monthly administrations of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), leuprolide acetate depot (Luphere depot 3.75 mg), in patients with precocious puberty.METHODS:
A total of 54 girls with central precocious puberty were administered with leuprolide acetate (Luphere depot 3.75 mg) every four weeks over 24 weeks. We evaluated the percentage of children exhibiting a suppressed luteinizing hormone (LH) response to GnRH (LH peak< or =3 IU/L), peak LH/follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio of GnRH stimulation test less than 1, change in bone age/chronologic age ratio, change in the Tanner stage and change in eating habit and psychological aspect.RESULTS:
(1) The percentage of children exhibiting a suppressed LH response to GnRH, defined as an LH peak< or =3 IU/L at 24 weeks was 96.3 % (52/54). (2) The percentage of children exhibiting peak LH/FSH ratio<1 at 24 weeks of the study was 94.4 % (51/54). (3) The ratio of bone age and chronological age significantly declined from 1.27+/-0.07 to 1.24+/-0.01 after the 6 months of the study. (4) The mean Tanner stage manifested a significant change 2.3+/-0.48 at baseline, down to 1.70+/-0.61 at 24 weeks. (5) Based on the questionnaires, the score for eating habits showed a significant change from the baseline 34.0+/-6.8 to 31.3+/-6.8. (6) The psychological assessment did not exhibit a significant difference except with scores for sociability, problem behavior total score and other problems.CONCLUSION:
The leuprolide 3.75 mg (Luphere depot) is useful and safety for treating children with central precocious puberty.
