Short answer

In previously untreated children with growth hormone deficiency, yearly growth rose from 4.1 cm to 8.0 cm after 6 months of daily growth hormone-releasing hormone therapy, in an open-label trial with no control group.[1]

The review says whether years of treatment change final adult height has not been determined.[2]

The children who responded best were slow-growing, shorter ones with delayed bone and height age, so the finding applies to a specific diagnosed group.[2]

The adult sermorelin trial enrolled healthy men aged 64 to 76, so it says nothing about height in growing children.[3]
