Summary
This study investigates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile (PK), and pharmacodynamic response (PD) of three different doses of ACP-001 given once-a-week compared to one dose-level of an approved daily human growth hormone product over a period of 4 weeks (4 weekly administrations versus 28 daily administrations) in adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency.

- Stable pituitary hormone replacement therapy for less than 3 months
- Impaired liver function as judged by the investigator or hepatic transaminases > 2 times the upper limit of normal
- Impaired kidney function as judged by the investigator and/or creatinine clearance 1.4 mg/dL
- Participation in another interventional clinical study involving an investigational compound within 3 months prior to enrolment in this study or participation in another interventional clinical study involving an investigational compound during this study.
- Subjects who are unable to comply with the requirements of the study or who in the opinion of the investigator should not participate in the study.
- History or presence of alcohol abuse or drug abuse.
- Patients with known history for, or presence of, anti-hGH and / or anti-PEG antibodies
