Background: Third generation aromatase inhibitors (AI) have never been used as monotherapy to increase predicted adult height (PAH) in girls. Our previously published GAIL study (J Endocrinol Invest. 2016 Apr;39(4):439–46) has shown that the combination of anastrozole to an LHRH analogue for 24 months is safe and effective in ameliorating PAH in girls with early puberty +1.21 SDS (+7.51 cm) compared to inhibition of puberty alone +0.31 SDS (+1.92 cm), P=...

Background: Third generation aromatase inhibitors (AI) have never been used as monotherapy, except for Mc Cune-Albright syndrome and autonomous ovarian cysts, to increase predicted adult height (PAH) in girls, mainly due to the theoretical concern of hyperandrogenism. Our previously published GAIL study [J Endocrinol Invest. 2016 Apr;39(4):439–46] has shown that the combination of anastrozole to an LHRH analogue for 24 months is safe and effective in ameliorating PAH in g...
