1. A composition for treating a disease or condition responsive to human growth hormone receptor antagonists, comprising:
(a) a modified human growth hormone receptor antagonist, wherein the human growth hormone receptor antagonist comprises:
(i) human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K, wherein two amino acids of human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K have been changed to cysteine, wherein the two amino acids changed to cysteine are T142 and H151, and wherein the human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K-H151C-T142-C has a DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, and an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4; and
(ii) polyethylene glycol molecule conjugated to each substituted cysteine in the human growth hormone receptor antagonist G120K-H151C-T142C, wherein the polyethylene glycol molecules conjugated to the two amino acids changed to cysteine are two 4.5 kDa branched polyethylene glycols each containing three carboxylate anions; and
(b) an anti-cancer composition.
