Inclusion criteria

  • Before starting treatment, the child is diagnosed as GHD according to medical history,clinical symptoms and signs, GH provocation tests and imaging examinators and other examinators.
  • According to the height statistical data of Chinese children's physical development in nine cities in 2015, the height of the child is lower than the third percentile of normal children's growth curve in the same age and same gender.
  • Height velocity (HV) ≤5.0 cm/yr.
  • GH provocation tests with two different mechanisms showed that GH peak concentration of the child is \< 10.0ng/ml.
  • Bone age (BA) ≤9 years in girls or ≤ 10 years in boys, and the BA is 1 year less than the CA.
  • Prepuberty status (Tanner I stage), age ≥3 years old, girls and boys are acceptable.
  • The child did not receive the treatment of growth hormone within 6 months.
  • Subjects are willing and able to cooperate to complete scheduled visits, treatment plans and laboratory tests and other procedures, and they sign informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The child is dysfunction of liver and kidney (ALT) 2 times of the upper limit of normal value, Cr> the upper limit of normal value).
  • The child has positive hepatitis B core antibody (HBc), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg).
  • The child is known as hypersensitivity to PEG Somatropin.
  • The child has severe cardiopulmonary, hematological diseases, malignant tumors, general infection or immunodeficiency diseases.
  • The child has potential tumor (family history).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The change of Height Standard Deviation Score for Chronological Age before and after the treatment (ΔHtSDSCA)

    HtSDSCA = (Height at the evaluated time point- the mean value of normal children in the same gender and same age) / the height SD of normal children in the same gender and same age

    Time frame: 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. HtSDSBA

    HtSDSBA = (height at the evaluated time point-the mean value of normal children in the same gender and same age) / height SD of normal children in the same bone age and same gender

    Time frame: 26 weeks

  2. Annual height velocity

    Annual Growth Velocity (cm/yr) = 12×(Height at the end of treatment-Height at the beginning of treatment)/the treatment duration (month)

    Time frame: 26 weeks

  3. Standard Deviation Score of serum IGF-1 (IGF-1 SDS)

    IGF-1 SDS = (actual concentration of IGF-1-the median of IGF-1 concentration of normal children in the age and same gender) / SD of IGF-1 concentration of normal children in the same gender and same age

    Time frame: 26 weeks

  4. Bone Maturation

    Bone Maturation = (BA at the end of treatment-BA at the beginning of treatment)/ the treatment duration (Year)

    Time frame: 26 weeks
