Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to determine the specificity, sensitivity and diagnostic efficiency of the Triptorelin Test in the assessment of CPP compared to GnRH test as gold standard.

Hypothesis: Aqueous Triptorelin Acetate is so efficient as GnRH to CPP assessment.

Study population are girls with suspicious clinical features of precocious puberty

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

GnRH stimulation is the gold standard to distinguish between isolated premature thelarche (PT) and CPP. However, intravenous GnRH for testing is not fully available in all countries. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel Triptorelin-test in the assessment of CPP compared to the GnRH test, a validation study was performed. Girls who presented thelarche with accelerated growth and/or advanced bone age were included. All girls underwent the two tests in a randomized order. CPP was ascertained according to LH response under GnRH (gold standard test).
