Prevention trial for Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm
Official title Triptorelin for the Prevention of Ovarian Damage in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06513962
What this study is testing
What is Triptorelin Pamoate?
an investigational injectable medicine being studied to protect ovarian function in adolescent and young adult female cancer patients receiving alkylating chemotherapy. is designed to block gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors, lowering ovarian hormone activity and temporarily pausing ovarian function.
Also referred to as Decapeptyl, Diphereline, Pamorelin, Trelstar, Triptorelin Embonate.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see whether giving triptorelin before chemotherapy reduces ovarian damage compared with not giving it.
- Who it's for
- Adolescents and young adults with cancer who will receive chemotherapy that includes alkylating agents.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive a dose of triptorelin (a hormone‑blocking injection) before chemotherapy, or no extra drug, and will have regular check‑ups to monitor ovarian function.
- Time commitment
- The trial lasts about 6 months, with visits scheduled around the chemotherapy and follow‑up appointments.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.

- \< 40 years of age at the time of enrollment
- Patient must be a post-menarchal female and report that their initial menstrual period occurred \> 6 months prior to enrollment. (Current menstrual status is not part of the .)
- Newly diagnosed with first cancer, exclusive of breast cancer.
- Note: Apart from breast carcinoma, other tumor types originating in the breast are permitted (e.g., sarcoma, lymphoma).
- Planned treatment must include one or more of the following alkylating agents delivered with curative intent: cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, procarbazine, chlorambucil, carmustine (BCNU), lomustine (CCNU), melphalan...
- For patients \< 20 years of age at enrollment, the expected alkylator dose must be ≥ 4 g/m\^2 cumulative CED calculated according to the equation and specified drugs listed.
- For patients ≥ 20 years of age and \< 35 years old at enrollment, any planned alkylator dose is permitted. Eligible patients must receive at least one of the alkylators listed below that contribute to CED.
- For patients ≥ 35 years of age at enrollment, any planned alkylator dose is permitted. Eligible patients must receive at least one of the alkylators listed that contribute to CED and/or dacarbazine, which IS an eligible...
- The planned total duration of therapy with eligible alkylators is expected to be completed within one year after enrollment.
- All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent.
- All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met.
- Any planned radiation to the pelvis; or cranial radiation ≥ 30 gray (Gy) to the hypothalamus, inclusive of any total body irradiation (TBI).
- Planned bilateral oophorectomy. Note: A participant's desire to pursue alternative fertility preservation procedures (i.e., embryo, oocyte, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation) will be allowed (and in fact encouraged).
- Congenital syndromes associated with infertility and decreased ovarian reserve at baseline. For example: Turner's Syndrome, Fragile X premutation carriers, Down syndrome, etc.
- Pre-existing seizure disorder, congenital long QT syndrome, pseudotumor cerebri; history of pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, or myocardial infarction.
- Receipt of long acting (depot) GnRH agonists within 6 months before enrollment. In contrast, subcutaneous GnRH agonist used for oocyte retrieval is not an exclusion
- Receipt of systemic chemotherapy (except for steroids and intrathecal chemotherapy) more than 7 days prior to study enrollment.
- Any prior radiation to the pelvis; or cranial radiation ≥ 30 Gy to the hypothalamus, inclusive of any total body irradiation (TBI).
- Patients who are pregnant are not eligible. A pregnancy test is required for female patients of childbearing potential.
- Lactating females who plan to breastfeed their infants for the duration of triptorelin therapy (24 weeks per dose).
- Sexually active patients of reproductive potential who have not agreed to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of triptorelin therapy (24 weeks per dose).
