Growth hormone is important for normal growth and development in childhood. A lack of growth hormone in children is currently treated by human recombinant growth hormone that must be given daily by an injection under the skin. MK-0677 is a new brug which caused growth hormone release after oral administration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MK-0677 in increasing growth velocity in GH- deficient children; to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-0677; and to measure the release of GH and other hormones as well as MK-0677 blood levels following administration of MK-0677 to GH-deficient children. The present study will also assist in the selection of a dosage regimen for subsequent studies.

生长激素对于正常生长和发展很重要 童年。 目前，儿童缺乏生长激素。 人类重组生长激素必须每天注射 在皮肤下。 MK-0677是一种新的BRUG，引起生长激素 口服后释放。 这项研究的目的是 评估MK-0677在增长GH-生长速度上的有效性 不足的孩子；评估MK-0677的安全性和耐受性； 并测量GH和其他激素的释放以及MK-0677 给予GH缺乏儿童的MK-0677后，血液水平。 本研究还将有助于选择剂量方案 用于随后的研究。
