Inclusion Criteria:

• Boys are between 4 and 10 years old age and girls are between 4 and 9 years old age;

• Height ＜-2.25 SD (Standard deviation) for chronological age;

• GH (Growth hormone) peak concentration ≥10.0 ng/mL in GH stimulation tests;

• The bone age (BA) ≤chronological age (CA)+6 months;

• Prepubertal Status (Tanner Stage I);

• Birth weight within the normal range;

• Growth hormone treatment-naive;

• Participants are willing and able to cooperate to complete scheduled visits, treatmentplans and laboratory tests and other procedures, to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants with abnormal liver and kidney functions (ALT > upper limit 1.5 times ofnormal value; Cr > upper limit of normal value);

• Participants are positive for anti-HBc, HbsAg or HbeAg in Hepatitis B virus tests;

• Participants with known highly allergic constitution or allergy to investigationalproduct or its excipient;

1. Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (confirmed by GH stimulation test);

2. Turner syndrome (confirmed by karyotype test of girls);

3. Noonan syndrome (hypertelorism, pectus carinatum, hypophrenia, frequently withskin disease and congenital heart disease, missense mutation of the proteintyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) gene on chromosome 12 forhalf of the participants, for both male and female participants);
