摘要

The present invention relates to the treatment of subjects of childhood with childhood growth hormone deficiency (DGHR). Treatment includes administering a human growth hormone-XTEN (hGH-XTEN) chimeric protein (hGH-XTEN) to a pediatric patient in therapeutically effective doses once a week, once every two weeks, once every half month, every three weeks or once a month. This therapy is not inferior in achieving a growth rate to daily injections of hGH, not associated with XTEN, over the same period.
