Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be currently enrolled in a Cephalon-sponsored clinical study and have completed at least 12 months of continuous modafinil treatment. Patients will be included in the study if they continue to meet all applicable criteria in their previous study and all of the following criteria are met:
  • Written informed consent/assent is obtained.
  • The patient is currently enrolled in study C1538d/312/AD/US or C1538/3044/AD/US and received modafinil treatment, continuously, for at least 12 months.
  • The patient meets the protocol criteria for response at each of the last 2 visits of their previous study. Patients from study C1538d/312/AD/US must have at least a 25% reduction in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale - IV [ADHD-RS-IV] (Home Version) total score compared with the original baseline (this must be the baseline for a previous double-blind, placebo-controlled study of modafinil in ADHD). Patients from study C1538/3044/AD/US must have at least a 25% reduction in total score of the ADHD Index subscale of the Conners' Parent Rating Scale: Revised, Short Form (CPRS:R-S), compared with the baseline value from study C1538/3044/AD/US.
  • The patient is in good health (except for diagnosis of ADHD) as determined by medical and psychiatric history, physical examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), serum chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, and vital signs.
  • Girls who are post-menarche or sexually active must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the baseline visit, must be using a medically acceptable method of birth control, and must agree to continue use of this method for the duration of the study (and for 30 days after participation in the study). Acceptable methods of birth control include the following: barrier method with spermicide; steroidal contraceptive (eg, oral, transdermal, implanted, or injected) in conjunction with a barrier method; intrauterine device (IUD); and abstinence.
  • The patient has a parent or legal guardian who is willing to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients are excluded from participating in this study if 1 or more of the following criteria are met:
  • The patient has a history or current diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder, schizophrenia, or other psychotic disorders, or positive clinical assessment of current suicide risk or ideation.
  • The patient has any current psychiatric co-morbidity that requires pharmacotherapy, including but not limited to depression or other mood disorder, anxiety disorder, or pervasive mental disorder.
  • The patient currently uses any other prescription medication, other than modafinil, for ADHD (eg, amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, methylphenidate, pemoline, atomoxetine).
  • Previous exposure to modafinil caused any clinically significant (drug-related) adverse reaction that led to withdrawal from the study, or which the investigator considers likely to put the patient at risk.

About this study

Official title: A 6-week, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Randomized Withdrawal Study to Evaluate the Continued Efficacy of Modafinil Treatment in Dosages up to 425mg/Day in Patients With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Who Are Responders to Modafinil Treatment, Followed by a 12-Month Open-Label Extension Period

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the continued efficacy of modafinil treatment, compared to placebo treatment, in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are responders to modafinil treatment.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the continued efficacy of modafinil treatment, compared to placebo treatment, in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are responders to modafinil treatment, as assessed by the change from baseline (in this current study) in the total score from the ADHD Rating Scale, Fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) (Home Version) at endpoint (week 6 or last double-blind post-baseline visit).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Modafinil in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Cephalon at 23 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 9 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 May 2014.
