Triptodur Now Available to Treat Central Precocious Puberty

Triptodur, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, is given as an intramuscular (IM) injection every 6 months.

Arbor and Debiopharm announced the launch of Triptodur (triptorelin extended-release suspension) injection for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP) in patients aged ≥2 years following its approval in June 2017.

Triptodur, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, is given as an intramuscular (IM) injection every 6 months. Treatment with Triptodur returns the child’s luteinizing hormone (LH) levels to a normal pre-pubertal level, stopping the signs of puberty until an age appropriate time. In a Phase 3 study, Triptodur restored pre-pubertal LH levels in 93% of patients after 6 months, and in 98% of patients after 12 months.

Common adverse reactions with Triptodur include injection site reactions, menstrual bleeding, hot flush, headache, cough, and infections.
