Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Peak Stimulated Luteinizing Hormone (<4 mIU/mL) From Month 2 Through Month 6

    Time frame · Month 2 through 6

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants with suppression of peak stimulated luteinizing hormone that was measured after a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) stimulation test at Month (Mo) 2, 3, and 6. The analysis was performed according to a life table method. Subjects who withdrew without peak-stimulated luteinizing hormone \>= 4 mIU/mL were censored at their last measurement of peak-stimulated luteinizing hormone.

Secondary outcomes(7)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Basal Estradiol <20 pg/mL by Visit

    Time frame · Month 1, 2, 3 and 6

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants with suppression of estradiol, out of the number of girls with at least 1 estradiol measurement at each visit (n/N%). Only girls are analyzed in this outcome measure. Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Testosterone in <30 ng/dL by Visit

    Time frame · Month 1, 2, 3 and 6

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants with suppression of testosterone, out of the number of boys with at least 1 testosterone measurement at each visit (n/N%). Only boys are analyzed in this outcome measure. Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  3. Peak-stimulated Luteinizing Hormone Concentration by Visit

    Time frame · Baseline, Month 1, 2, 3 and 6

    Registry description

    Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Suppression of the Physical Signs of Puberty (Breast Development) at Month 6

    Time frame · Month 6

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants with suppression of breast development, out of the number of girls with pubertal staging of breast development (n/N%). Only girls are analyzed in this outcome measure. Breast development was rated from Stage 1 (early development) through Stage 5 (full development) according to a Tanner Staging pictogram. Girls entering the study with fully developed breasts (Stage 5) were excluded from this analysis. Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  5. Percentage of Participants With Suppression of the Physical Signs of Puberty (Testicular Volume and Genital Development) at Month 6

    Time frame · Month 6

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants with suppression of genital development and testicular volume, out of the number of boys with pubertal staging of genital development or testicular volume (n/N%). Only boys are analyzed in this outcome measure. External genital development (testes and penis) was rated from Stage 1 (early development) through Stage 5 (full development) according to a Tanner Staging pictogram. Boys entering the study with fully developed genitals (Stage 5) were excluded from this analysis. Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  6. Change From Baseline in Incremental Growth Rate (cm/Year) at Month 6

    Time frame · Baseline and Month 6

    Registry description

    The growth rate at baseline was the growth rate during the last year before the start of treatment and was calculated with the measurement closest to Day -336 (before Day -30) and the measurement up to Day 1. Growth rate at Month 6 was defined as the ratio of the change in height from Day 1 to the change in chronological age, with an approximate 6-month interval between the 2 height measurements. Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data.

  7. Ratio of Change From Baseline in Bone Age/Change From Baseline in Chronological Age at Month 6

    Time frame · Baseline to Month 6

    Registry description

    The ratio at Month 6 was calculated as (bone age at Month 6 - bone age at baseline)/(chronological age at Month 6 - chronological age at baseline). Observed data were used with no imputation for missing data. Baseline bone-age radiograph was performed at or within 3 months of the Screening Visit.
