Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
This study included 1 treatment group and subjects were assigned the initial dosage depending on their weight. The minimum starting dose was 7.5 mg every 28 days. Study drug was discontinued either when puberty occurred at 12 years +- 6 months for males and 11 years +- 6 months for females or at the discretion of the investigator.

Reporting Groups
  Description
Leuprolide Acetate 1 Month Depot Leuprolide acetate dosing was initiated at 300 mcg/kg (minimum dose 7.5 mg) administered intramuscularly (IM) every 28 days. Incremental adjustments to dosing at 3.75 mg increments were made at each visit.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
