- Adult males and females with GHD either idiopathic or secondary to pituitary disease arising in childhood.
- Demonstrated GHD as documented by a negative response to a standard GH stimulation test within the last 5 years previous year (see Section 3.4.3, part b). Maximal peak must be less than 3.0 ng/ml.
- Receiving replacement for other deficient hormones for at least 3 months prior to the start of the study, where necessary.
