Group Intervention Description Triptorelin Pamoate 15mg for injection Triptorelin pamoate 15mg Triptorelin was injected at day 1 and month 3. If participants were willing to enter the extension phase, two additional Triptorelin injections were given at month 6 and month 9.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Luteinising Hormone (LH) Suppression After Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Stimulation At Month 3 The LH suppression was defined as stimulated peak LH ≤3 International Units/Liter (IU/L). The GnRH stimulation test was performed by using an intravenous (IV) injection of gonadorelin (synthetic GnRH) to stimulate gonadotrophin release and blood samples were collected after the gonadorelin injection for central assessment of serum LH levels.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Basal LH and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Serum Levels Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Basal LH and FSH serum concentrations were analyzed centrally. Change from baseline was defined as the value for LH and FSH levels at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Percentage of Participants With LH Suppression After GnRH Stimulation At Months 6 and 12 A synthetic GnRH (gonadorelin) was used for gonadotrophin stimulation. Blood samples were collected prior to gonadorelin injection (timepoint T0) and at 30 minutes (T30), 60 minutes (T60) and 90 minutes (T90) (±5 minutes at each timepoint) after a single IV injection of gonadorelin. A suppressed LH response to GnRH stimulation test was defined as peak LH ≤3 IU/L among the 4 timepoints T0, T30, T60 and T90).
Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Pubertal Stage Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and 12 Pubertal stage parameters were analyzed using Tanner method. Pubertal stage parameters included genital stage in male participants, breast stage in female participants and pubic hair stage in both sexes.
Change From Baseline in Auxological Parameter: Height Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Auxological parameter including height was analyzed. Change from baseline was defined as the value for each auxological parameter at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Peak LH and FSH Level After GnRH Stimulation Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6 and 12 A synthetic GnRH was used for gonadotrophin stimulation. Blood samples were collected prior to gonadorelin injection (timepoint T0) and at 30 minutes (T30), 60 minutes (T60) and 90 minutes (T90) (±5 minutes at each timepoint) after a single IV injection of gonadorelin. The FSH response to GnRH stimulation was the peak FSH level among the 4 timepoints (T0, T30, T60 and T90). The LH response to GnRH stimulation test was defined as peak LH ≤3 IU/L among the 4 timepoints T0, T30, T60 and T90). Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Percentage of Participants With Prepubertal Levels of Sex Steroids At Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Prepubertal sex steroids assessment included estradiol in female participants and testosterone in male participants. Prepubertal sex steroids levels were defined as: estradiol ≤20 picogram (pg)/milliliter (mL) in female participants and testosterone ≤0.3 nanogram (ng)/mL in male participants.
Change From Baseline in Testosterone Levels Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6 ,9 and 12 Testosterone serum concentration was analyzed centrally. Change from baseline was defined as the value for testosterone levels at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Auxological Parameter: Weight Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Auxological parameter including weight was analyzed. Change from baseline was defined as the value for each auxological parameter at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Estradiol Levels Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6 ,9 and 12 Estradiol serum concentration was analyzed centrally. Change from baseline was defined as the value for estradiol levels at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Percentage of Participants With Stabilized Pubertal Stage Compared to Baseline Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and 12 Pubertal stage parameters were analyzed using Tanner method. Pubertal stage parameters included genital stage in male participants, breast stage in female participants and pubic hair stage in both sexes.
Change From Baseline in Bone Age (BA) Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and 12 BA was determined using X-rays of the hand and wrist. Change from baseline was defined as the value for BA at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline Difference Between BA and Chronological Age (CA) Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and 12 BA was determined using X-rays of the hand and wrist. Change from baseline was defined as the difference between BA and CA value at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Uterine Length Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and12 Uterine length was determined by type B ultrasound. Change from baseline was defined as the value of uterine length at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline of Testicular Volume Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 6 and 12 Testicular volume was determined by type B ultrasound. Change from baseline was defined as the value of testicular volume at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Auxological Parameter: Growth Velocity Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Auxological parameter including growth velocity was analyzed. Change from baseline was defined as the value for each auxological parameter at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
Change From Baseline in Auxological Parameter: Body Mass Index (BMI) Baseline (Day 1) and at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 Auxological parameter including BMI was analyzed. Change from baseline was defined as the value for each auxological parameter at indicated timepoints minus the value at baseline. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measurement taken prior to the first dose administered.
