What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.

    Measured: Baseline (following ADHD medication washout of 7-28 days)

  2. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.

    Measured: Week 1

  3. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    Measured: Week 2

  4. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.

    Measured: Week 3

  5. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.

    Measured: Week 4

  6. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    Measured: Week 5

  7. The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV)

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.

    Measured: Week 6

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical Global Impression of Improvement scale (CG(-I) - assessed at visits 1 through 6/Early Termination (ET)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Neutral salts of dextroamphetamine sulfate, USP, amphetamine sulphate, USP, d-amphetamine saccharate, d, l-amphetamine aspartate monohydrate. in people with Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity, run by Shire.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) (time frame: Baseline (following ADHD medication washout of 7-28 days)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00152022, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2021.
