(freeze-dried formulation) for pediatric GHD (PGHD), or are currently receiving Saizen® freeze-dried formulation for adult GHD (AGHD)

- Subjects who have binding antibody-negative (BAbs-) at screening

- Subjects who have no evidence of concomitant disease, intercurrent illness, or

resultant therapy that would interfere with subject compliance, the evaluation of study results, or compromise the safety of the subject
