Brief summary: This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of somatropin over a long period (till final height is reached). This trial is an extension to trials GHRETARD/BDP/14/NL (a 2-year initial trial) and GHRETARD/BPD/20/NL (a 2-year extension trial).


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Completion of the GHRETARD/BPD/20/NL trial
* Written informed consent from child and/or parents/guardians before continuation in the extension trial
