Central Precocious Puberty 2026:
Complex Clinical Cases

Live Webinar series


1st Webinar: 13 October 2026 - 11.00 to 12.00 CEST
2nd Webinar: 12 November 2026 - 11.00 to 12.00 CET
3rd Webinar: 3 December 2026 - 11.00 to 12.00 CET

Overview

This webinar series explores current CPP occurrence and incidence patterns, including the potential role of obesity, and examines how treatment can support children with complex medical conditions that include CPP. Although each webinar addresses a specific topic, the presentations are interconnected and designed to provide specialist clinicians with practical guidance for diagnosing and managing CPP. Complex case studies will highlight diagnostic challenges, treatments involving several endocrine medications and how newer formulations may help the patient and their families. GnRH agonist (GnRHa) therapy remains an effective and well-tolerated treatment for CPP, suppressing sex hormone production and slowing skeletal maturation. The introduction of longer-acting formulations has expanded opportunities for individualized treatment while reducing the burden of frequent injections. These regimens may improve adherence, increase patient satisfaction and potentially reduce healthcare costs. The webinar series addresses key educational gaps: distinguishing normal developmental variants from true precocious puberty, differentiating peripheral from CPP, managing syndromic forms of CPP, and managing cases in which CPP is secondary to other genetic disorders, including children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. This webinar series aims to tackle this demanding area with presentations of complex clinical cases to help widen knowledge and encourage best practice.

He was head of the Paediatric Endocrine Unit at Barts and the London School of Medicine from 1982 to 2007. He has interests in growth disorders, specifically those with abnormalities in the GH-IGF-1 axis and in phenotype-genotype relationships of GH-IGF-1 axis defects, notably GH resistance. He published the first human case of an IGF-1 gene defect in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1996.  His other interests are Cushing’s syndrome and growth in chronic inflammatory diseases. He was General Secretary of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) from 1997 to 2004. He has lectured in 60 countries and has published 482 original articles, reviews, textbook chapters and books. In 2007, he was awarded the ESPE Andrea Prader Prize for contributions to paediatric endocrinology and in 2018 he received a Visionary Award from the American Human Growth Foundation. In 2022, he received a Research Excellence Award from the Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Journal in Riyadh, and the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes James M. Tanner Lifetime Achievement Award. He continues to lecture nationally and internationally.
