Crossover Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetic of Pegylated Somatropin(PEG Somatropin) in GHD Children

The purpose of the phase 1 study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of PEG somatropin, which administered once per week, compared with the daily used somatropin, and to evaluate the safety and possibility to replace daily used somatropin.
