CPP is a condition involving the premature onset of puberty in girls younger than 8 years old and boys younger than 9 years old.
Triptodur is a hormone agonist designed to regulate hormone levels and delay puberty until the child is of an appropriate age. The drug is administered through intramuscular injection once every six months.
Debiopharm International — a unit of Switzerland-based Debiopharm Group — developed Triptodur, and Atlanta-based Arbor Pharmaceuticals acquired the U.S. rights to the drug in 2015. Triptodur will hit the U.S. market in the fourth quarter of 2017.
