should 
be 
“other 
medically 
significant” if no other seriousness 
criteria 
are 
present 
(e.g. 
hospitalisation)).
A 
suspected 
or 
confirmed 
coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-
CoV-2) 
infection 
should
be 
seriousness assessed based on 
the 
reported 
seriousness 
criteria. If no seriousness criteria 
is reported by the investigator, 
the COVID-19 infection will be 
collected and recorded as “non 
serious”.

and safety of triptorelin 6-month formulation in Chinese paediatric participants with CPP 
over a period of 12 months.
•
This study aims to demonstrate that triptorelin 6-month formulation is efficacious in 
suppressing luteinizing hormone (LH) to prepuberal levels in children with CPP (defined 
as a peak LH ≤5 IU/L after intravenous (i.v.) gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) 
stimulation) at Month 6.
•
This study will enrol Chinese participants with CPP in girls less than 9 years old and 
boys less than 10 years old at initiation of triptorelin treatment. 
•
Approximately a total of 66 participants (including at least three boys) will be enrolled 
to be administered intramuscular (i.m.) injections of triptorelin on Day 1 and Month 6 of 
the study. The triptorelin injection dose will not be adapted based on body weight.

Expected common dropout rate =5%. 
Under these assumptions, approximately 66 participants (Power Analysis and Sample Size 
(PASS) software) are planned to be enrolled into the study to ensure there are 62 treated 
participants to confirm the efficacy of the triptorelin 6-month formulation by the proportion of 
children with a suppressed LH response to the GnRH stimulation test at Month 6.
Primary Analysis 
For the primary efficacy endpoint, the summary statistics of number and percentage of 
participants and the exact two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for a binomial proportion 
will be computed by Statistical Analysis System® (SAS®) using the exact binomial distributions 
on the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (primary population of analysis), modified (m)ITT 
and per protocol (PP) sets.
Secondary Analyses 
For secondary efficacy endpoints related to a change at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 compared to 
baseline, the descriptive summary statistics (n, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, 
minimum, maximum) will be calculated on the ITT population. In addition, secondary efficacy 
endpoints will be performed on the PP set. Exact two sided 95% CIs will also be constructed 
for all secondary endpoints expressed as percentages

INTRODUCTION
Triptorelin is an agonist analogue of natural GnRH. The principal modification consists of 
substitution of natural glycine in position 6 by a D-amino acid (D tryptophan). Clinical and 
animal studies have provided positive results of triptorelin’s action in hormone-dependent 
disorders such as CPP, prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibromyomas, in vitro 
fertilisation and breast cancer. 
2.1
Study Rationale
Currently marketed in China there is a triptorelin 1-month formulation indicated for the 
treatment of children with CPP.
A global pivotal study, DEBIO 8206-CPP-301, demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the 
6-month formulation over a period of 12 months and led to registration in the EU and USA. 
This current study is intended to document the efficacy, safety and PK of triptorelin 
6-month formulation in Chinese children with CPP over a period of 12 months. 
Henceforth in this protocol, triptorelin pamoate 22.5 mg 6-month formulation will be referred 
to as ‘triptorelin 6-month formulation’.
2.2
Background
Precocious puberty is a condition that causes early sexual development in girls and boys. While 
the chronological age (CA) limit for the onset of puberty is 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys 
for children in North America and Western European countries [Carel 2008], children with 
precocious puberty exhibit precocious pubertal development that can be 2.5 to 3 SDs earlier
than the current estimated average. The prevalence of precocious puberty is 10 times higher in 
girls than in boys [Carel 2008].
In a minority of children, precocio s puberty can occur due to an organic lesion (cerebral 
tumour); in most children, this condition is caused by the early release of GnRH (also known 
as luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)) by the hypothalamus. In healthy children, 
GnRH stimulates the release of pitui ary gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and 
LH, which is then followed by pr longed suppression of these hormones, contributing to normal 
pubertal development. The form of precocious puberty caused by early GnRH stimulation is 
termed CPP. In children with CPP, early GnRH release leads to the precocious secretion of LH 
and FSH which, in turn, activate the early secretion of gonadal hormones by the ovaries or 
testes. 
Signs of puberty include pubic and axillary hair growth and changes in the child’s body shape 
and behaviour. Boys develop facial hair and their penis lengthens and girls develop breasts and 
may have menstrual periods. In children with CPP, these signs prematurely appear before the 
age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys, respectively. Furthermore, growth velocity 
accelerates, initially inducing a rapid height increase, which stops at an early age. Accelerated 
bone maturation leads to premature epiphyseal closure and a final height below the target height 
that was otherwise expected for the child’s age. These premature changes may also lead to 
psychological disorders in children with CPP. 
There is currently no nationwide epidemiology study of CPP data in China. Only two studies 
have been published about the incidence of precocious puberty in two cities: Jiu Jiang (study 
with 3,312 children investigated and an incidence of 0.68%, 1.25% in girls and 0.11% in boys) 
[Hu 2012] and Zhengzhou (study with 8,750 children investigated and an incidence of 0.74%, 
1.37% in girls and 0.26% in boys) [Wei 2010]. In coastal areas of China, precocious puberty 
has an incidence rate of 0.38%; the incidence in girls is higher at 0.67%. The prevalence of

precocious puberty in Shanghai is 100/10,000 [Lin 2004]. These data refer to precocious 
puberty without GnRH-dependent stimulation, which is not specific for CPP and are probably 
lower than numbers described above.
As reported by Carel and Léger [Carel 2008], the assessment of gonadotropin levels (based on 
ultrasensitive assays) is central to the diagnosis of CPP. The gold standard for evaluation is the 
measurement of gonadotropin levels after stimulation with GnRH or a GnRH agonist (GnRHa). 
Peak LH levels of 5 to 8 IU/L suggest progressive CPP but there is an overlap between 
prepubertal and early pubertal values [Carel 2008, Resende 2007]. Caution should be taken 
when interpreting gonadotropin levels in children younger than 2 to 3 years old as gonadotropin 
levels are normally high in this age group [Carel 2008].
In CPP (i.e. with no other identified cause such as a cerebral tumour), there is no surgical 
therapy available and no effective alternative therapeutic option other than taking a prolonged 
release (PR) formulation of synthetic GnRH. In severe cases, untreated CPP causes physical 
and psychological problems for the child. 
Treatment with GnRH analogues, which act by downregulating pituitary GnRH receptors
[Carel 2009, Comite 1981 Crowley 1981, Bertelloni 2013]  represent the standard of care for 
the treatment of CPP [Carel 2009]. Their efficacy to stop precocious development has been 
demonstrated and their use involves only minor adverse events (AEs). A review of CPP 
treatment by Krishna et al confirmed that treatment with PR formulations of GnRHas is safe, 
with relatively minor side effects, and supported that the outcome in terms of final height is 
favourable in most patients [Krishna 2019]. 
Diphereline® (international non-proprietary name (INN): triptorelin) is a synthetic GnRH 
analogue that is mainly characterised by th  replacement of the L-glycine in the 6th position by 
a D-tryptophan. This structural modification increases both the resistance to enzymatic 
degradation and the affinity to the pituitary receptor, thus prolonging the plasma half-life (t1/2) 
and increasing the potency of the drug
In China, Diphereline® is availabl  as a 1-month formulation, which is approved for use in 
patients with CPP, prostate c ncer  end metriosis, fibromyomas and female infertility.
Study DEBIO 8206-CPP-301 was the first 6-month triptorelin clinical trial in the treatment of 
CPP sponsored by Debiopharm International SA [Klein 2016]. This was an international, 
multicentre, nonrandomised, open-label, noncomparative phase III study of two i.m. injections 
of triptorelin 6-month formulation administered twice over 12 months in a group of 44 children 
with CPP comprising 39 girls and 5 boys. The 6-month formulation was safe and effective in 
suppressing the pituitary-gonadal axis in children with CPP. The extended injection interval 
may improve compliance and increase comfort in the management of CPP.
The worldwide marketing status of all triptorelin formulations of which Ipsen and Debiopharm 
are the marketing authorisation holders (marketed by Ipsen under Debiopharm/Ipsen agreement) 
can be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB). Further details/additional information 
regarding risks and benefits to participants may also be found in the IB.
A more detailed description of the product, including further details on administration 
procedures and dosage are provided in Section 6.
2.3
Benefit/Risk Assessment 
Detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably expected 
AEs of triptorelin may be found in the IB and development safety update report.

STUDY DESIGN
4.1
Overall Design
•
This is an open-label, multicentre, single arm interventional study to evaluate the efficacy 
and safety of triptorelin 6-month formulation in Chinese paediatric participants with CPP 
over a period of 12 months.
•
This study aims to demonstrate that triptorelin 6-month formulation is efficacious 
suppressing LH to prepuberal levels in children with CPP (defined as a peak LH ≤5 IU/L 
after i.v. GnRH stimulation) at Month 6.
•
This study will enrol Chinese participants with CPP in girls less than 9 years old and in 
boys less than 10 years old at initiation of triptorelin treatment. 
•
Approximately a total 66 participants (including at least three boys) will be enrolled to 
be administered i.m. injections of triptorelin on Day 1 and Month 6 of the study. The 
triptorelin injection does not have to be adapted based on body weight.
•
The study consists of a Screening period (the Screening visit will take place up to 28 days 
before enrolment), during which participants with CPP will be screened for eligibility. 
Participants will receive triptorelin injections on Day 1 and Month 6 of the study. 
Participants will have study visits at Screening  Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
(Figure 1). 
•
Each participant is expected to be enrolled in this study for a minimum of 12 months and 
up to 13 months (including Screening period).
•
Participants who complete the study will perform final procedures and assessments at the 
final visit (Month 12). Participants who withdraw from the study before the completion 
of the evaluation period will be invited to attend an Early Withdrawal visit to perform 
early discontinuation procedures and assessments.
The study design is illustrated in Figure 1.
4.2
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
This uncontrolled phase III study will investigate the efficacy, safety and PK of triptorelin 
6-month formulation in children with CPP over 12 months.
For CPP, a non-comparative, open clinical trial design is acceptable as the efficacy of triptorelin 
will be assessed by the percentage of children achieving LH suppression to pre-pubertal levels, 
defined as LH ≤5 IU/L, after GnRH stimulation at Month 6 (primary endpoint).
As the efficacy of the drug is based on the suppression of the pituitary receptors responsible for 
LH (and FSH) production, no studies in this field with any GnRHa have had a comparative 
design. The recent approved leuprolide 3 months formulation in China is one of the examples 
of single arm, non-comparative design.
The LH response after the GnRH stimulation test, associated with clinical data and within a 
context of CPP, constitutes a reliable and feasible resource and can assist in monitoring the 
effectiveness of treatment.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the percentage of children with LH level 
suppression to prepubertal levels (serum LH ≤5 IU/L after GnRH stimulation) at Month 6. 
Participants would receive two injections of triptorelin (Day 1 and Month 6) and be followed 
for a total of 12 months. The objective of this study is to exclude any ethnicity factor that may 
lead to a different response. The serum LH ≤5 IU/L cut-off for primary endpoint definition of 
prepubertal levels is consistent with the global pivotal DEBIO 8206-CPP-301 study.

Measures to safeguard the development and maturation of the child including assessment of 
physical growth, neuropsychiatric development, sexual maturation will be implemented and 
subject to close monitoring.
The total blood volume (114 mL) to be collected during this study is considered to be an 
acceptable amount of blood to be collected over this time period from the population in this 
study based upon the standard reported in Ni [Ni 2017].
This study will evaluate the PK profile of triptorelin 6-month formulation given to paediatric 
participants with CPP. The blood sample collection scheme was designed to collect the 
minimum number of blood samples to help provide useful information on the PK of the 
triptorelin 6-month formulation in paediatric Chinese population.
As with all clinical and PK studies, there are risks associated with venipuncture and multiple 
blood sample collection. To avoid multiple venipunctures, which cause additional discomfort 
and other potentially toxic effects, the use of i.v. indwelling catheters is permitted in this study. 
This minimises the number of venipunctures and the total volume of blood collected from each 
participant during the study.
4.3
Justification for Dose
For this intervention, the term “dose” refers to the i.m  injection of a triptorelin 22.5 mg created 
to guarantee the release of a monthly dose of 3.75 mg over a 169-day period. For more 
information see Section 6.5. This formulation has been made available in different countries 
(such as USA, Europe, South-East Asia) for th  treatment of CPP since 2009 and has been 
tested in the phase III Study DEBIO 8206-CPP-301 (see Section 2.2).
4.4
End of Study Definition
The EOS is defined as the date of the last visit of the last participant in the study as shown in 
the schedule of activities (SoA) (Table 2)
A participant is considered to have completed the study if they have completed all phases of 
the study including the last visit.
Criteria for study intervention di
ontinuation and participant discontinuation/withdrawal from 
the study are described in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, respectively. Loss to follow-up is 
described in Section 7.3.

6.2
Preparation, Handling, Storage and Accountability
The investigator or an approved representative (e.g. pharmacist) will ensure that triptorelin is 
reconstituted and dispensed by a member of staff specifically authorised by the investigator and 
trained for triptorelin reconstitution and administration.
The suspension for injection must be reconstituted using an aseptic technique and using the 
ampoule of solvent supplied for injection.
The instructions for reconstitution hereafter and in the leaflet provided with triptorelin must be 
strictly followed.
The solvent should be drawn into the syringe provided using the reconstitution needle (20G, 
without safety device) and transferred to the vial containing the powder. The suspension should 
be reconstituted by swirling the vial in a gentle circular motion until a homogeneous, milky 
suspension is formed. Do not invert the vial.
It is important to check there is no unsuspended powder in the vial. The suspension obtained 
should then be drawn back into the syringe, without inverting the vial. The reconstitution needle 
should then be changed and the injection needle (20G) used to administer the product.
As the product is a suspension, the injection should be administered for a single use immediately
after reconstitution to prevent sedimentation.

Study Intervention Compliance
When participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study intervention directly from the 
investigator or designee, under medical supervision. The date and time of each dose 
administered in the site will be recorded in the source documents and in the electronic case 
report form (eCRF). The dose of study intervention and study participant identification will be 
confirmed at the time of dosing by a member of the study site staff other than the person 
administering the study intervention.
6.5
Dose Modification
Not applicable. No dose modifications are to be performed in the study.
6.6
Continued Access to Study Intervention after the End of the Study
The participants will not receive any additional study intervention following the end of the 
study.
6.7
Treatment of Overdose 
The pharmaceutical properties of triptorelin 6-month formulation and its mode of 
administration make accidental or intentional overdose unlikely. There is no experience of 
overdose from clinical trials (for more information see the summary of package characteristics). 
If overdose occurs, this should be managed symptomatically.
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should:
•
Contact the medical monitor immediately.
•
Closely monitor the participant for any AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities (at least 
up to the Month 12 visit). 
•
Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdose. See 
Section 10.3.1 for reporting requirements concerning overdose.
6.8
Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over the counter or prescription medicines, recreational 
drugs, vitamins, and/or herbal supplements) that the participant receives within 2 months before 
triptorelin administration or during triptorelin administration must be recorded on the eCRF 
along with:
•
Generic or trade name
•
Reason for use
•
Dates of administration including start and end dates
•
Dosage information including dose and frequency
The medical monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy.
The following concomitant medications are not permitted during this study:
•
Any treatment or procedure with an effect on the metabolism or secretion of 
gonadotropins (LH or FSH) or sex steroids (oestradiol and/or testosterone) will be 
considered as a protocol violation
•
All drugs mentioned as prohibited in the non-inclusion criteria remain prohibited during 
the study period: GnRH analogues (other than triptorelin 6-month formulation), 
medroxyprogesterone acetate, growth hormone or IGF-1, systemic or inhaled steroids 
(mild topical steroids are permitted) or anticoagulants.

Drugs which raise prolactin levels should not be prescribed concomitantly as they reduce 
the level of GnRH receptors in the pituitary. When triptorelin is co-administered with 
drugs affecting pituitary secretion of gonadotropins, caution should be taken, and it is 
recommended that the participant’s hormonal status be supervised.

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND PARTICIPANT 
DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL
7.1
Discontinuation of the Study Intervention
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue study 
intervention. If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the participant will remain in 
the study to be evaluated for efficacy, safety and PK, with assessments described in the SoA. 
See the SoA for data to be collected at the time of discontinuation of study intervention and 
follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be completed.
7.1.1
Pregnancy
See Section 8.3.5.
7.1.2
Temporary Discontinuation
In case of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the intervention 
administration may be temporarily discontinued depending on the participant clinical 
presentation. In some cases, the investigator may request a participant be retested before the 
intervention administration is resumed.
7.2
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study
The legal guardian and the paediatric participant have the right to withdraw permission (consent 
or assent, respectively) at any time during the study. If the study staff identify any reluctance in 
the legal guardian or paediatric participant (e.g  signs of verbal or physical dissent) about 
continued participation in the study, the pa di tric participant’s continuation in the study should 
be re-evaluated. The same principles that govern permission/assent/consent also govern its 
withdrawal. 
A participant may be withdrawn from the study for any of the following reasons:
•
Withdrawal of consent or assent if applicable (a paediatric participant’s dissent should 
be respected.)
•
Drug-related AE
•
Non-drug related AE
•
Non-drug related reason, e.g. participant relocates
•
Lack of efficacy.
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may retain 
and continue to use any data collected before such withdrawal of consent.
If the participant withdraws consent, it should be explained in detail in the medical records by 
the investigator as to whether the withdrawal is only from further receipt of study intervention 
or also from study procedures and/or posttreatment study follow-up. This information must be 
entered in the CRF. 
If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any samples taken 
and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records.
7.3
Lost to Follow-up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if they fail to return for scheduled visits and 
is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit:

•
The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon 
as possible. The site should counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the 
assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or 
should continue in the study.
•
Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee must make 
every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, three telephone calls 
and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address or local 
equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the participant’s 
medical record.
•
Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study. 
•
Site personnel will attempt to collect the vital status of the participant within legal and 
ethical boundaries for all participants enrolled, including those who did not receive study 
intervention. Public sources may be searched for vital status information. If vital status 
is determined as deceased, this will be documented, and the participant will not be 
considered lost to follow-up. Sponsor personnel will not be involved in any attempts to 
collect vital status information.
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole is handled as part of Appendix 10.1.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES
•
Study procedures and their timing are summarised in the SoA (Table 2). Protocol waivers 
and exemptions are not allowed.
•
Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue 
study intervention.
•
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA 
(Table 2), is essential and required for study conduct.
•
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.
•
Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (e.g. blood 
count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilised for screening or baseline
purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were performed 
within the timeframe defined in the SoA (Table 2).
•
The maximum amount of blood collected from each participant over the duration of the 
study, including any extra assessments that may be required, will not exceed 114 mL. 
(see [Ni 2017])
•
Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or in case of technical 
issues with the samples.
8.1
Efficacy Assessments
Efficacy and PK measurements will be performed centrally. The timing of efficacy assessments 
is summarised in the SoA (Table 2)  Procedures for recording efficacy data are discussed in this 
section and methods of analyses are discussed in Section 9.4. 
8.1.1
Luteinising Hormone and Follicle-stimulating Hormone Serum Concentrations
These parameters will be analysed centrally. The preparation and storage of samples are 
described separately in the Laboratory Manual.
8.1.2
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Stimulation Test
Gonadorelin, a synthetic GnRH (manufacturer to be defined), will be used for gonadotrophin 
stimulation. Clinical sites will be supplied with gonadorelin to use in the GnRH stimulation test.
Blood samples will be collected prior to gonadorelin injection (timepoint T0) and at 30 minutes 
(T30), 60 minutes (T60) and 90 minutes (T90) after a single i.v. injection of gonadorelin with 
2.5 μg/kg (maximum 100 μg). 
A suppressed LH response to GnRH stimulation test is defined as peak serum LH ≤5 IU/L 
among the four timepoints (T0, T30, T60 and T90).
The FSH response to GnRH stimulation will be the peak serum FSH level among the four 
timepoints (T0, T30, T60 and T90).
8.1.3
Sex Steroids (Oestradiol and Testosterone Serum Concentrations)
These parameters will be analysed centrally. The preparation and storage of samples are 
described separately in the Laboratory Manual.
8.1.4
Pubertal Stage Using the Tanner Method

Auxological Parameters, Bone Age and Chronological Age Measurements and 
Gonad Development
Target height and percentile height-for-age will be obtained from Tanner tables [Tanner 1966].
Bone age determination (in years and months) will be performed by X-rays of the hand and 
wrist and estimated by the Greulich and Pyle method [Greulich 1959]. 
Gonad development (uterine length or testis volume) will be determined by type B ultrasound 
or orchidometer respectively.
8.2
Safety Assessments
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA (Table 2).
8.2.1
Physical Examinations
•
A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the 
cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. Height and weight 
will also be measured and recorded. Body weight will be measured in underwear and 
without shoes.
•
A brief physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the skin, lungs, 
cardiovascular system, and abdomen (liver and spleen).
•
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses.
•
Any clinically significant physical examina ion findings (abnormalities) observed during 
the study will be reported as AEs. Any physical examination findings (abnormalities) 
persisting at the end of the study will be followed by the Investigator until resolution or 
until reaching a clinically stable endpoint.
8.2.2
Vital Signs
Blood pressure and heart rate wil  be assessed with an automated device so that measurements 
are independent of the observer. Blood pressure and heart rate will be recorded in sitting 
position after 5 minutes of rest (seated). Absolute values and change from baseline will be 
analysed. Blood pressure will be measured using an appropriate cuff size.
8.2.3
Electrocardiograms
Not applicable
8.2.4
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
•
Clinical safety laboratory tests (haematology and serum chemistry) and urinalysis will 
be performed by the study site or local laboratory as outlined in the SoA (Table 2).
•
See Appendix 10.2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and for the 
timing and frequency.
•
The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record any 
clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The laboratory reports 
must be filed with the source documents. 
•
Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease, are not considered 
clinically significant unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected 
for the participant's condition.
•
All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or within 168 days after the last dose of study intervention

should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer 
considered clinically significant by the investigator or medical monitor.
•
If clinically significant values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of 
time judged reasonable by the investigator, the aetiology should be identified and 
the sponsor notified.
•
All protocol-required laboratory tests, as defined in Appendix 10.2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA (Section 1.3).
•
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory tests performed at the 
study site laboratory require a change in participant management or are considered 
clinically significant by the investigator (e.g. SAE or AE or dose modification), 
then the results must be recorded in the eCRF.
8.2.5
Local Tolerability
Assessment of local tolerability will be conducted as described in this section.
After each triptorelin injection, the injection site will be examined by a physician or medical 
staff (e.g. paediatric nurse) and assessed for characteristics such as but not limited to tenderness, 
redness, bruising, erythema, swelling, rash, pain, itching, induration, haematoma, ulceration or 
necrosis. If present, the extent of erythema, haematoma, rash, ulceration or necrosis will be 
described and assessed quantitatively; this will at least include measurement of maximum 
length and maximum width. 
Any reaction deemed clinically significant by the investigator meets the definition of a TEAE, 
thus it needs to be reported in the eCRF as such  as indicated in Appendix 10.3.3.
8.2.6
Pregnancy Testing
•
Pregnancy tests for female participants of childbearing potential will be performed as 
outlined in the SoA (Table 2).
•
Refer to Section 5.1 Inclusion Criteria for pregnancy testing entry criteria.
•
Pregnancy testing (urine) will be repeated at the end of the study (see SoA Table 2).
•
Additional serum or urine pregnancy tests may be performed, as determined necessary 
by the investigator, to establish the absence of pregnancy at any time during the 
participant’s participation in the study.
8.3
Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Other Safety Reporting.
The definitions of AEs and SAEs can be found in Appendix 10.3.
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant's legally authorised representative).
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following 
up all AEs or SAEs, considered related to the study intervention or study procedures, or that 
caused the participant to discontinue the study intervention or the study (see Section 7).
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 10.3.
8.3.1
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
All AEs and SAEs will be collected from the signing of the ICF until the EOS visit at the time 
points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).

PAGE 40/63
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after obtaining 
informed consent will be recorded on the AE section of the eCRF.
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and under no 
circumstance should this exceed 24 hours of awareness of the event, as indicated in 
Appendix 10.3. The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 
24 hours of it being available.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after conclusion of 
the study participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at 
any time after a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event 
to be reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must 
promptly notify the sponsor.
8.3.2
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about AE 
occurrences.
Clinical Presentation of Adverse Events
Study-site staff should instruct the legal guardians and caregivers on how to report signs and 
symptoms (e.g. crying and pain) as well as viral signs of infections (eg nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, 
influenza) in the individual paediatric participant. They will be instructed to report both specific 
and nonspecific symptoms (including vomiting, diarrhoea, sleepiness, variation in the intensity 
and pattern of crying, etc). These nonspecific symptoms may be the only manifestations of 
some adverse reactions observed in childr n. Care should be taken that the clinical presentation 
of adverse reactions is not misinterpreted as the manifestation of a pre-existing or unrelated 
condition.
Moreover, symptoms that are dependent on participant communication ability (e.g. nausea, pain, 
mood alterations) in younger or mentally disabled children could potentially be at risk for 
under- or misreporting.
These events may or may not have been noted in the participant diary.
8.3.3
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All AEs/SAEs will be followed until resolution, 
stabilisation, the event is otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined 
in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is provided in Appendix 10.3.
8.3.4
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs
•
Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety 
of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.
•
The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, IRBs and IECs and investigators.
•
An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g. summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.

Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary.
8.3.5
Pregnancy
The occurrence of pregnancy is very unlikely in this study population. In case a participant 
becomes pregnant, this information will be shared with the participant’s legal guardian as 
required by local regulations. 
•
If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate forms (SAE form in the eCRF and Drug Exposure Form – paper form) and 
submit it to the sponsor within 24 hours
•
If pregnancy occurs during the study, the outcome of the pregnancy will be collected 
following completion of the study. The sponsor will request further information from the 
investigator as to the course and outcome of the pregnancy using the Standard Drug 
Exposure for Pregnancy Form.
•
The investigator must instruct all female participants who have already had 
menophania/menarche to inform them immediately should they become pregnant during 
the study. The Investigator should counsel the participant, discuss the risks of continuing 
with the pregnancy and the possible effects on the foetus. Monitoring of the participant 
should continue until conclusion of the pregnancy, which may involve follow-up after 
the participant’s involvement in the study has ended. 
•
Pregnancies with a conception date within 6 months after the participant’s last dose of 
study medication must also be rep rted to the investigator for onward reporting to the 
sponsor.
•
If the Investigator becomes aware of a pregnancy occurring in the partner of a participant 
participating in the study, this should be reported to the sponsor as described above. 
Pregnancies in the partner with a conception date until 6 months after participant’s last 
dose of study medication should be reported after the partner has given written consent 
and the partner should be counselled and followed as described above. Monitoring of the 
partner should continue until conclusion of the pregnancy.
Any participant becoming pregnant during the study will be withdrawn.

Reporting of Study Intervention Errors Including Misuse/Abuse
•
Medication errors are unintentional errors in the prescribing, dispensing, administration 
or monitoring of a study intervention (medicinal product) while under the control of a 
healthcare professional, participant or consumer (European Medicines Agency 
definition).
•
Misuse refers to situations where the study intervention is intentionally and 
inappropriately used not in accordance with the protocol.
•
Abuse corresponds to the persistent or sporadic, intentional excessive use of a medicinal 
product, which is accompanied by harmful physical or psychological effects.

•
Study intervention errors and uses outside of what is foreseen in the protocol will be 
recorded in the eCRF irrespective of whether associated with an AE/SAE or not. It will 
also be documented in the AE section of the eCRF if associated with an AE. It will be 
reported in the safety database only if associated with an SAE. 
•
Misuse or abuse will be collected and reported in the safety database, whether associated 
or not with an AE/SAE, within 24 hours of investigator’s awareness.
8.4
Pharmacokinetics
•
Approximately 2 mL of blood samples will be collected for measurement of triptorelin 
6-month formulation plasma concentrations of as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3) to 
be analysed at a bionalytics Service Provider (Labcorp).
•
Approximately 2 mL of blood samples will be collected to derive serum for bioanalytical 
cross-validation purposes.
•
Instructions for the collection, handling, shipment methodology and reference ranges 
will be provided in the laboratory manual. The accurate date and time (24-hour clock 
time) of each sample collection must be recorded.
•
Plasma samples will be used to evaluate the PK of triptorelin 6-month formulation. Each
plasma sample will be divided into two aliquots (both for triptorelin level determination: 
a primary and a back-up aliquot). Samples collected for analyses of triptorelin 
concentration may also be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects related to concerns 
arising during or after the study.
•
On predetermined dates, plasma samples will be shipped to the bioanalytical Service 
Provider under frozen conditions. For security reasons, aliquots of each sample will be 
shipped separately. The batch containing the second aliquot will not be shipped until the 
first one has arrived. Upon receipt at the bioanalytical Service Provider, samples will be 
checked and stored until analysis.
•
The concentration of triptorelin will be analysed using a validated specific and sensitive 
method, and in accord nce with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). 
•
Serum samples will be used for the bioanalytical method cross-validation (two aliquots 
– a primary and a backup).
•
On predetermined dates, serum samples will be shipped to the bioanalytical Service 
Provider in charge of the cross-validation under frozen conditions. For security reasons, 
aliquots of each sample will be shipped separately. The batch containing the second 
aliquot will not be shipped until the first one has arrived. Upon receipt, samples will be 
checked and stored until analysis. 
•
Residual plasma/serum samples remaining from the analyses may also be retained by the 
sponsor for additional investigations. This could include using leftover plasma/serum 
samples for long-term stability, reproducibility, or other bioanalytical assessments.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
9.1
Statistical Hypotheses
The null hypothesis H0: P≤80% versus the alternative hypothesis H1: P>80%, where P is the 
proportion of children with LH suppression defined as stimulated peak LH ≤5 IU/L after GnRH 
stimulation at Month 6.
9.2
Sample Size Determination
The sample size of this study is estimated based on following assumptions according to global 
pivotal study DEBIO 8206-CPP-301 [Klein 2016].
•
Expected outcome for the proportion of children with a suppressed LH response to the 
GnRH stimulation test (stimulated peak serum LH ≤5 IU/L) at Month 6 is 93%;
•
Null proportion is 80%; 
•
An exact binomial test of a proportion with a one-sided nominal significance level of 
0.025 and power =85%;
•
Expected common dropout rate =5%. 
Under these assumptions, approximately 66 participants (including at least three boys) (PASS 
software) are planned to be enrolled into the study to ensure there are 62 treated participants to 
confirm the efficacy of the triptorelin 6-month formulation by the proportion of children with a 
suppressed LH response to the GnRH stimulation test at Month 6.
9.3
Analysis Sets
For the purposes of analysis, the following analysis sets are defined:
Participant Analysis Set
Description
Screened population
All participants screened (i.e. who signed the ICF)
Safety population
All participants who received at least one dose of study intervention and have 
at least one postb seline safety assessment;
ITT/mITT population
The ITT population will include all participants who received at least one 
dose of study intervention;
The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population will contain all treated 
participants having a Month 6 post-baseline assessment of the primary 
efficacy endpoint
PP population
The PP population will contain all participants in the mITT after exclusion 
of the participants who had major protocol deviations that could potentially 
affect the primary efficacy endpoint outcome for the participants
PK population 
All participants who received at least one dose of study intervention and 
have at least one valid triptorelin concentration
ICF=informed consent form; ITT=intention-to-treat; mITT=modified ITT; PK=pharmacokinetics; PP=per 
protocol.
The primary efficacy analysis will be performed on the ITT population. Supportive analysis of 
the primary efficacy endpoint will be based on the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) and the 
PP populations.
The secondary efficacy analyses will be based on the ITT population. Supportive analysis of 
the secondary analyses may be performed on the PP population.
The analyses of safety data will be performed based on the Safety population.
The analyses of PK data will be performed based on the PK population.

9.4
Statistical Analyses
The statistical analysis plan (SAP) will be finalised before the first participant enters the study
and it will include a more technical and detailed description of the statistical analyses described 
in this section. This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most 
important endpoints including primary and key secondary endpoints.
Other endpoints as well as demographic, baseline characteristics and disposition will be detailed 
in the SAP.
Statistical evaluation will be performed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS®) Version 9.4 
(or higher if available).
9.4.1
General Considerations
9.4.1.1
Reasons for Exclusion from the Analyses
Any major protocol deviation will be described and listed and its impact on the inclusion of any 
participant in each analysis population will be specified. The final list of protocol deviations 
impacting each analysis population will be reviewed prior to database lock. The list may be 
updated, up to the point of database lock, to include any dditional protocol deviations which 
may impact the analysis of each population.
9.4.1.2
Significance Testing and Estimations
For the primary efficacy endpoint, the summary statistics of number and percentage of 
participants and the exact two-sided 95% CI for a binomial proportion will be computed by 
SAS® using the exact binomial distributions on the ITT population (primary population of 
analysis), mITT and PP sets.
For secondary efficacy endpoints related to a change at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 compared to 
baseline, the descriptive summary statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, maximum) will 
be calculated on the ITT populati n. In addition, secondary efficacy endpoints may be 
performed on the PP set. Exact two-sided 95% CIs will also be constructed for all secondary 
endpoints expressed as percentages.
9.4.1.3
Statistical/Analytical Methods
Statistical analyses will be performed by an external Service Provider, managed by the 
Sponsor’s Biometry department.
Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics
Descriptive summary statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, maximum) and frequency 
counts of demographic and baseline data (medical history, concomitant disease, predosing AEs 
and ongoing medical history, prior and concomitant medications and therapies) will be 
presented for the ITT, mITT and PP sets, as well as the Safety population.
Participant Disposition and Withdrawals
The numbers and percentages of participants screened and included in each of the analysis 
populations will be tabulated overall and by centre. The reasons for participant exclusions from 
each of the populations and primary reasons for study discontinuation will be tabulated. 
Adjustment for Country/Centre Effect
Descriptive analysis will be carried out to evaluate any possible centre effect.
9.4.2
Analysis of Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint in this study is the proportion of children with LH suppression defined 
as stimulated peak LH ≤5 IU/L after GnRH stimulation at Month 6. The number and percentage

participant recruitment materials) must be approved by the IRB/IEC before the study is 
initiated.
•
Any amendments to the protocol will require IRB/IEC approval before implementation 
of changes made to the study design, except for changes necessary to eliminate an 
immediate hazard to study participants.
•
The protocol and any substantial amendments to the protocol will require health authority 
approval prior to initiation except for changes necessary to eliminate an immediate 
hazard to study participants.
•
The investigator will be responsibl  for the following:
•
Providing written summaries of the status of the study to the IRB/IEC annually or 
more frequently in accordance with the requirements, policies, and procedures 
established by the IRB/IEC
•
Notifying the IRB/IEC of SAEs or other significant safety findings as required by

including applicable privacy laws. They must be approved before use, as described in 
Appendix 10.1.1.
•
The investigator, or his/her authorised representative, will provide the legal guardian 
with the written ICF and the participant with the assent form, if applicable. They must 
be informed that participation is voluntary. The legal guardian will be required to sign 
written consent, and the participant, if applicable, will be required to sign written assent 
after the nature of the study has been fully explained and before performance of any 
study-related activity.
•
Assent requirements for paediatric participants may vary across regions and countries; 
local regulations should be followed as appropriate.
•
The medical record must include a statement that written informed consent from the legal 
guardian and assent from the paediatric participant (if deemed appropriate by local ethics 
review or local regulations) were obtained before the participant was enrolled in the study 
and the date the written consent and assent were btained. The medical record should 
describe how the investigator determined that the person signing the ICF was the 
participant’s legal guardian. The authorised person obtaining the informed consent must 
also sign the ICF and assent form attesting that the paediatric participant did not show 
signs of dissent particularly in those studies including toddlers and small children; it 
should be written in language appropriate to the child’s developmental and functional 
status.
•
Minor participants who assent to a s udy and later withdraw that assent should not be 
maintained in the study against their will, even if their legal guardian still wants them to 
participate.
•
A copy of the informed consent and assent forms must be provided to the participant and 
the participant’s legal guardian.
•
As appropriate, participants may be given the opportunity to meet privately with a 
member of the study site staff to ask confidential questions and to decline assent for 
confidential reasons  which  at their request, would not be shared with their legal 
guardian, unless required by local law.
•
If an ICF amendment is not applicable to all participants, this will be communicated to 
the IEC/IRB with a rationale. A participant and the legal guardian must be re-consented 
and re-assented to the most current version of the ICF(s) during their participation in the 
study if the change has an impact on this participant.
10.1.4
Data Protection
•
Participants will be assigned a unique identifier by the sponsor. Any participant records 
or datasets that are transferred to the sponsor will contain the identifier only; participant 
names or any information which would make the participant identifiable will not be 
transferred.
•
The participant must be informed that his/her personal study-related data will be used by 
the sponsor in accordance with local data protection law. The level of disclosure must 
also be explained to the participant who will be required to give consent for their data to 
be used as described in the informed consent. 
•
The participant must be informed that his/her medical records may be examined by the 
sponsor’s auditors or other authorised personnel appointed by the sponsor, by appropriate 
IRB/IEC members, and by inspectors from regulatory authorities.

other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all applicable regulatory requirements.
10.1.8
Study and Site Start and Closure
First Act of Recruitment
The study start date is the date on which the clinical study will be open for recruitment of 
participants.
Study/Site Termination
The sponsor or designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study 
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies 
have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed.
The investigator may initiate study-site closure t any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include but are 
not limited to:
For study termination:
•
Discontinuation of further study intervention development
For site termination:
•
Failure of the investigator t  comply with the protocol, the requirements of the IRB/IEC 
or local health authorities, the sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines
•
Inadequate or no recruitment (evaluated after a reasonable amount of time) of 
participants by the investigator
•
Total number of participants included earlier than expected
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the sponsor shall promptly inform the 
investigators, the IECs/IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any Service Providers used in the 
study of the reason for termination or suspension, as specified by the applicable regulatory 
requirements. The investigator shall promptly inform the participant and should assure 
appropriate participant therapy and/or follow-up.
10.1.9
Publication Policy
•
The results of this study may be published or presented at scientific meetings. If this is 
foreseen, the investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to the sponsor 
before submission. This allows the sponsor to protect proprietary information and to 
provide comments.
•
The sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. In 
accordance with standard editorial and ethical practice, the sponsor will generally support 
publication of multicentre studies only in their entirety and not as individual site data. In 
this case, a coordinating investigator will be designated by mutual agreement.

•
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause.
-
A high FSH level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a 
postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal 
replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, 
confirmation with more than one FSH measurement is required.
-
Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use 
one of the non-oestrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they 
wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue 
HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrolment.
•
Permanent sterilization methods (for the purpose of this study) include:
-
Documented hysterectomy
-
Documented bilateral salpingectomy
-
Documented bilateral oophorectomy
-
For individuals with permanent infertility d e to an alternate medical cause other 
than the above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal 
dysgenesis), investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry.
•
If fertility is unclear (e.g., amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle 
cannot be confirmed before first dose of study intervention, additional evaluation should 
be considered.
Notes: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s medical 
records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
10.4.2
Contraception Guidance
Note: Pregnancy is highly unlikely in this study population and the guidance is listed for

CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE:
Highly Effective Methodsb That Have Low User Dependency Failure rate of <1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly.

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Bilateral tubal occlusion

Azoospermic partner (vasectomized or due to a to medical cause)
Azoospermia is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the 
woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional highly 
effective method of contraception should be used. Spermatogenesis cycle is approximately 90 days.
Note: documentation of azoospermia for a male participant can come from the site personnel’s review of the 
participant’s medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
Highly Effective Methods b That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently 
and correctly.
Sexual abstinence
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual 
intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. The reliability of sexual 
abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of 
the participant)
a) Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of 
contraceptive methods for those participating in clinical studies.
b) Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and orrectly. Typical use failure rates differ from those 
when used consistently and correctly.
c) Male condoms must be used in addition to hormonal contraception. If locally required, in accordance with 
Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) guidelin
, acceptable contraceptive methods are limited to those 
which inhibit ovulation as the primary mode f action.
Note: Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptoth rmal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), 
spermicides only, and lactational amenorrh ea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male 
condom and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure with friction)

Appendix 6: Pubertal Stages According to Tanner Method
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SECONDARY SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
BOYS: Genital (penis) development
Stage 1. Prepubertal: testes, scrotum, and penis of about same size and proportion as in early 
childhood.
Stage 2. Enlargement of scrotum and testes. Skin of scrotum reddens and changes in texture.
Stage 3. Enlargement of penis, at first mainly in length. Further growth of testes and scrotum.
Stage 4. Increased size of penis with growth in breadth and development of glans. Testes and
scrotum larger; scrotal skin darkened.
Stage 5. Genitalia adult in size and shape.
GIRLS: Breast development
Stage 1. Prepubertal: elevation of papilla only.
Stage 2. Breast bud stage: elevation of breast and papilla as small mound. Enlargement of areola
diameter.
Stage 3. Further enlargement and elevation of breast and areola, with no separation of their 
contours.
Stage 4. Projection of areola and papilla to form a secondary mound above level of breast.
Stage 5. Mature stage: projection of papilla only, related to recession of areola to general 
contour of breast.
BOTH SEXES: Pubic hair
Stage 1. Prepubertal: vellus over pubes is not further developed than over abdominal wall.
Stage 2. Sparse growth of l ng  sligh ly pigmented, downy hair, straight or slightly curled, 
chiefly at base of penis or along labia.
Stage 3. Considerably darker, coarser, and more curled hair. Hair spreads sparsely over junction 
of pubes.
Stage 4. Hair now adult in type but area covered is still considerably smaller than in adult. No 
spread to medial surface of thighs.
Stage 5. Adult in quantity and type with distribution of horizontal (or classically “feminine”) 
pattern.
Stage 6. Spread up linea alba (male-type pattern).

Appendix 7: Temporary Measures and Procedures Related to COVID-19 
Pandemic
This appendix serves as notification of the temporary measures put in place for the conduct of 
the study during the COVID-19 pandemic and until such time as the situation resolves, at which 
point the protocol assessments will return to those specified in the current approved protocol 
effective at that time. The timing of when the pandemic is declared over may vary on a country 
by country basis as well as between sites in the same country, and as such the temporary 
measures may remain in place for differing periods of time per country/site. Investigators will 
determine the feasibility of starting or continuing study treatment on a patient by patient basis, 
depending on the ability to conduct safety monitoring and providing patients an adequate supply 
of study treatment, in accordance with local requirements.
Any temporary measure will be reported as a protocol deviation related to COVID-19.
Withdrawal from Study
Participants who are suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 infection after enrolment will 
withdraw from the study (see also Section 7.1.2 for temporary withdrawal).
Telemedicine Visit
If the COVID-19 pandemic prevents participants from coming to the site for the Month 9 visit, 
the investigator will perform a telemedicine visit to collect all important medical information 
and safety event(s) occurring since the last visit. Besides the Month 9 visit, the participants may 
delay other visits no more than 2 weeks and preferably within 1 week or be withdrawn from the 
study as appropriate, as judged by the investigator and agreed with the sponsor.

INTRODUCTION 
The purpose of this Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) is to outline the planned analyses to be 
completed to support the completion of the Clinical Study Report (CSR) for protocol D-CN-
52014-244. It describes the rules and conventions to be used in the analysis and presentation of 
data, the data to be summarised and analysed, including specificities of the statistical analyses 
to be performed.  
Exploratory analyses not necessarily identified in this SAP may be performed to support the 
clinical development program. Any post-hoc, or unplanned, analyses not identified in this SAP 
performed will be clearly identified in the respective CSR. 
The SAP is to be finalised before first participant in. A separate shell will be provided for tables, 
figures and listings.  
Any deviations from the SAP after database lock will be documented in the CSR (section 9.8 
hanges in the conduct of the study or planned analyses  as per International Conference on 
Harmonisation (ICH) E3).

PROTOCOL OVERVIEW 
2.1 
Study Objectives and Hypotheses 
2.1.1 
Primary Objective 
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the triptorelin 6-month prolonged 
release (PR) formulation in suppressing luteinizing hormone (LH) levels to prepubertal levels 
(defined as a peak LH 5 IU/L) after intravenous (i.v.) gonadotropin-releasing hormone 
(GnRH) stimulation at Month 6 (Day 169) in Chinese children with central precocious puberty 
(CPP). 
2.1.2 
Secondary Objectives 
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: 
 
To assess the efficacy in suppressed LH response to GnRH test at Months 3 and 12 
 
To assess change of basal serum LH and FSH levels at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 
 
To assess change of peak serum LH and FSH levels after the GnRH stimulation test at 
Months 3, 6 and 12 
 
To assess sex hormone serum concentrations (oestradiol for girls and testosterone for 
boys) at Months 3, 6, 9 and 12 
 
To assess height (Z-score [height for age] and percentile for height for age) growth 
velocity and BA (Greulich and Pyle method) at Months 6 and 12 
 
To assess sexual maturation at Months 6 and 12 
 
To assess uterine length in girls and testis volumes in boys at Months 6 and 12

5.1 
General Considerations 
The precision of the measurement for each continuous variable will be used to determine the 
number of decimal places to present in tables, figures, and derived listings. Unless otherwise 
specified, min and max values will be reported with the same decimal as the units of measure; 
the mean, median and standard deviation (SD), will be reported to 1 greater decimal place, all 
of them will not be greater than 4 decimal places. Any values that require transformation to 
standard units (metric or International System [SI]) will be converted with the appropriate 
corresponding precision. 
Percentages of categorical variables will be presented to 1 decimal place unless otherwise 
specified.  
or ULOQ (xxx) will be used for calculation of descriptive statistics. The original laboratory 
 
All statistical analyses will be performed using the SAS® software version 9.4 or above version.

In addition, the following listings are to be provided: 
 
A listing of all laboratory data. Out-of-reference-range values will be flagged as high (H) 
or low (L), 
 
A listing of CTCAE grade 3 and higher values.  All data for a laboratory parameter will 
be displayed for a participant who has any post-baseline value with CTCAE grade greater 
than or equal to 3 for the parameter.

Vital Signs 
Describe the summaries that are to be provided.  These include: 
 
A summary of the actual and change from baseline in each vital sign parameter (blood 
pressure and heart rate) by gender group and timepoint. 
 
The following listing is to be provided: 
 
A listing of vital sign data by gender group, with abnormal value highlighted.  
5.8.6 
Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
Not applicable. 
5.8.7 
Physical Examination 
The following summary and listings will be provided: 
 
A shift from baseline (normal vs abnormal) to each post-baseline visit  
 
A listing of physical examination data, 
 
A listing with any participants with at least one physical examination abnormality. 
5.8.8 
Other (if applicable) 
Participants are to be discontinued from the study if they become pregnant. Pregnancy data 
will be shown in a data listing if applicable. No special analysis will be performed on the 
pregnancy.

PK  
The individual plasma triptorelin concentration are measured in all participants receiving study 
drug on Day 1 (to be taken predose and at 4 hours post-injection); at Month 3 visit; at Month 6 
visit (to be taken predose of second injection, and at 4 hours post-injection); and Month 12 
EOS/early withdrawal visit. Individual listings and descriptive summary statistics will be 
presented for triptorelin plasma concentrations. 
Descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, SEM, %CV, 95% lower CI, 95% upper CI, median, 
minimum and maximum, geometric mean, geometric SD, geometric CV%, 95% Lower 
Geomean CI, 95% upper Geomean CI) will be summarized by each scheduled visit, and by 
timepoint where applicable for triptorelin plasma concentrations. To compute descriptive 
statistics, all BLQ values must be replaced by missing in the data set. BLQ values substituted 
by missing are excluded in the calculation of descriptive statistics.  
Triptorelin concentrations will be displayed with the same precision as the BLQ values. For the 
descriptive statistics, calculations derived from concentrations (mean, min, max, median, SD 
etc.) will follow the same rule as Min and Max, but coefficient of variation (CV%) will be 
displayed with one decimal digit only. 
The descriptive statistics should be displayed by visit/time point, only if at least 2/3 (2 out of 
every 3 values) of the data are available and above the limit of quantification. Otherwise, only

minimum and maximum are reported. Individual and mean plasma concentration time profiles, 
as well as spaghetti plots, on the PK Set will be generated. 
If required and warranted by the data, an attempt to build a model to characterize the PK in the 
population will be made. This will be described in a separate analysis plan and the outcomes 
summarised in a standalone report.

DATA HANDLING 
6.1 
Visit Window 
All data will be organized and analysed according to the scheduled visits outlined in the 
protocol. As defined by the protocol, Visit 1 (Screening visit) has to be performed within Day 
-28 to Day -1 prior to first treatment. Visit 2 (Day 1) will be the day of first treatment. Visit 3 
(Month 3) will correspond to Day 82 to Day 88. Visit 4 (Month 6) will correspond to Day 166 
to Day 172. Visit 5 (Month 9) will correspond to Day 250 to Day 256 and Visit 6 (Month 12) 
will correspond to Day 337 to Day 344.     
Participants who complete the study will perform final procedures and assessments at the final 
visit (Month 12). Participants who withdraw from the study before the completion of the 
evaluation period will be invited to attend an Early Withdrawal visit to perform early 
discontinuation procedures and assessments. 
For participants who do not have a final visit within 6 months after their last triptorelin dose, 
efficacy evaluations (including PK sampling) will not be performed. Data from any efficacy 
evaluations performed after this time will not be collected on the eCRF.  
6.2 
Unscheduled Visits, Retest, Withdrawal Visit,  
All listings will include retests and unscheduled visits, while for the description by visit in the 
tables, only the scheduled visits according to the protocol will be described.  
Unscheduled visit and retest measurements will be used to provide a measurement for a baseline 
data or endpoint value (e.g. worst value), if appropriate according to their definition. These 
measurements will also be used to determine abnormal laboratory, vital signs values or ECG. 
If a value requires a retest (for laboratory values and vital signs) the closest non-missing reliable 
value to the scheduled visit will be used in the summary tables. 
Participants who have withdrawn early from the study have their last assessment entered as visit 
90 in the eCRF.  
 
7 
DERIVED DATA (IF APPLICABLE) 
When applicable, below derivation rules should be followed: 
 
Change from baseline 
Change from baseline at a given visit will be calculated as a difference from baseline.  
 
Chronological Age  
Chronological Age (years) will be calculated as follows and keep two decimals for the 
calculated result: 
Chronological Age = (Visit Date - birth date + 1)/365.25.

BMI 
BMI (kg/m2) will be derived as Weight (kg)/[Height(cm)/100]**2 measured at each visit and 
rounded to the nearest decimal. 
 
Bone Age 
For bone age recorded as m+, n- or m-n, the original result will be listed in listing. And for 
m+, we will use m+0.25 in the summary analysis, for n-, we will use n-0.25 in the summary 
analysis, for m-n, we will use middle point between m and n in the summary analysis. For 
examples, 9+ will be updated to 9.25, 8- will be updated to 7.75 and 9-10 will be updated to 
9.5. There is one exception, 8.8+ will be updated to 8.825 in the summary analysis. 
 
Growth Velocity 
For growth velocity recorded as m-n, the original result will be listed in listing and we will 
take the middle point between m and n in the summary analysis. For example, 7-8, will be 
updated to 7.5 in the summary analysis. 
 
Oestradiol and Testosterone 
For oestradiol and testosterone recorded as <17.936 or <11.981, the original result will be listed 
in listing and update <17.936 to 17.936, <11.981 to 11.981 in the summary analysis.

A2. Partial/Missing Date Convention 
In all listings, missing or incomplete dates should be left as they have been recorded. However, 
for calculation / sorting / assignation based on dates, the following methods will be used: 
- 
The most conservative approach will be systematically considered (i.e. if the onset date 
of an AE/concomitant medication is missing / partial, it is assumed to have occurred 
during the study treatment phase (i.e. a TEAE for AEs) except if the partial onset date or 
the stop date indicates differently. 
- 
Where this is possible, the derivations based on a partial date will be presented as superior 
inequalities (i.e.: for an AE started in FEB2004 after the first IMP administration 
performed on 31JAN2004, the days since last dose will 
of ongoing AEs or medication will be 
 
 
Algorithm for Prior/ Concomitant  
 
Medication, non-drug therapies and surgical procedures start and stop dates will be compared 
to the date of the first IMP administration to allow classification as either Prior only, Prior and 
Concomitant, or Concomitant only.  
In case of partial start and/or stop medication/ non-drug therapies/surgical procedures dates, 
imputation will be done to determine the classification: 
- 
If a partial start date, the first day of the month will be imputed for missing day and 
January for missing month, 
- 
If a partial stop date, the last day of the month will be imputed for missing days and 
December will be imputed for missing month. 
In case incomplete start or stop date does not allow the classification, will be classified as 
concomitant. 
 
For studies with injection cycles: 
If the start date of a medication is partial or missing, the medication will be assigned to the most 
recent treatment received on or before the medication start date (taking into account date 
stopped). 
 
Algorithm for TEAE 
For deriving the TEAE flag the following process of temporary date imputation is done (for AE 
start date only assuming no AE end date are missing). The date imputation algorithm for 
incomplete adverse event start dates is described in Table 2. Classification of adverse event 
according to its treatment-emergent status is then done using the imputed date. 
 
In the following table, all dates are presented using an YYYY-MM-DD format. As an example, 
suppose First IMP administration = 2002-08-11 and several AEs have incomplete start dates.

A3. Programming Convention for Outputs 
All text fields must be left justified and numeric or numeric with some text specification (e.g.: 
 
 
The mean, median, lower quartile, upper quartile, SD and standard errors (SE) of the mean, 
95% confidence interval values will be reported to one decimal place greater than the raw data 
recorded in the database.   
The minimum and maximum values will be reported with the same number of decimal places 
as the raw data recorded in the database. 
In general, the maximum number of decimal places reported should be four for any summary 
statistic. 
 
Percentages will be presented to one decimal place. Percentages will not be presented for zero 
counts. Percentage will be calculated using n as denominator. The denominator n will be 
specified in a footnote for clarification if necessary. If sample sizes are small, the data displays 
will show the percentages, but in the CSR only frequency counts should be described.  
 
P-values will be reported to four decimal places (e.g.: p=0.0037), after rounding. P-values 
 
 
All values below or above a limit of detection (e.g. <0.1 or >100) will be listed as such.   
 
Dates will be presented in the format [ddmmmyyyy] and times in the format [hh:mm]. 
 
A4. Listings Conventions 
Any listings will contain at least the following data: participant identifier, age and gender. When 
dates are presented, the associated study days should be included. They should be sorted by 
gender group then participant identifier. For multicentre studies, listings should be broken down 
by centre and gender group. 
 
Note: In this study (D-CN-52014-244), any listings will contain at least the following data: 
participant identifier, age and gender. All listings should be sorted by participant identifier.

A5. Z-score and Percentile for Height for Age 
 
The external file (CDCref_d.xls) from Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity of 
American CDC contains the L, M, and S parameters needed to generate exact percentiles and 
z-scores along with the percentile values for the 3rd, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th, 
and 97th percentiles by sex (1=male; 2=female) and single month of age. Age is listed as 
interval in the external file; for example, _AGEMOS1=8.5, _AGEMOS2=9.5 months 
represents 8.5-9.4999 months. To obtain L, M, and S values at finer age or length/stature 
intervals interpolation could be used. 
The LMS parameters are the median (M), the generalized coefficient of variation (S), and the 
power in the Box-Cox transformation (L). To obtain the value (X) of a given physical 
measurement at a particular z-score or percentile, use the following equation: 
X = M (1 + LSZ)**(1/L), L 
 
Or 
X = M exp(SZ), L = 0 
where the L, M, and S are the values from the appropriate table corresponding to the age in 
months of the child (** indicates an exponent, such that M(1+LSZ)**(1/L) means raising 
(1+LSZ) to the (1/L)th power and then multiplying the M; exp(X) is the exponentiation 
function, e to the power X). Z is the z-score that corresponds to the percentile. z-scores 
correspond exactly to percentiles, e.g., z-scores of -1.881, -1.645, -1.282, -0.674, 0, 0.674, 
1.036, 1.282, 1.645, and 1.881 correspond to the 3rd, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 85th, 90th, 
95th, and 97th percentiles, respectively. 
The LMS parameters need to be adjusted based on actual age (age), use the following 
equation:   
ageint = CDCref_d._agemos2- CDCref_d._agemos1; 
dage= age - CDCref_d._agemos1; 
 
L=CDCref_d._LLG1+ (dage*(CDCref_d._LLG2- CDCref_d._LLG1))/ageint; 
M=CDCref_d._MLG1+ (dage*(CDCref_d._MLG2- CDCref_d._MLG1))/ageint; 
 
S=CDCref_d._SLG1+ (dage*(CDCref_d._SLG2- CDCref_d._SLG1))/ageint; 
To obtain the z-score (Z) and corresponding percentile for a given measurement (X), use the 
following equation: 
((X/M)**L)  1 
Z = 
-
 
LS 
or 
Z = ln(X/M)/S ,L=0 
where X is the physical measurement (e.g. weight, length, head circumference, stature or 
calculated BMI value) and L, M and S are the values from the appropriate table corresponding 
to the age in months of the child (or length/stature). (X/M)**L means raising the quantity 
(X/M) to the Lth power. 
For example, to obtain the 5th percentile of height-for-age for a 9-month-old male, we would 
look up the L, M and S values from the CDCref_d table, which are _LLG1=-1.29571459, 
_MLG1=70.94803912,  _SLG1=0.038546833, ._LLG2=-1.177919048, 
_MLG2=72.34586111, _SLG2=0.038526262.  
After adjustment by age, L, M, S would be -1.236816819, 71.646950115, and 0.0385365475, 
respectively. Using the equation above, we calculate that the z-score for this child is 1.15. 
This z-score corresponds to the 88th percentile.
