What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to 6 Month Endpoint in Child Health and Illness Profile - Child Edition, Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE PRF), Achievement Domain

    CHIP-CE PRF: parent rated assessment of a child's health status/level of functioning. The achievement domain describes developmentally appropriate role functioning in school and with peers. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline to 4 Month and 12 Month Endpoints in CHIP-CE PRF, Achievement Domain

    CHIP-CE PRF: parent rated assessment of a child's health status/level of functioning. The achievement domain describes developmentally appropriate role functioning in school and with peers. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 12 months

  2. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-CE PRF Domain Scores (Satisfaction, Comfort, Resilience and Risk Avoidance)

    CHIP-CE PRF: parent rated assessment of a child's health status and level of functioning. Domains: Satisfaction, Comfort, Risk Avoidance, Resilience. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Report (WFIRS-P)

    The 50-item WFIRS-P rates impairment in 6 domains of functioning: home, school, self-concept, social, activities of daily living, and risk taking. Each item is rated by the parent on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3 (0="never or not at all", 1="sometimes or somewhat", 2="often or much", 3="very often or very much"). Average of non-missing values were calculated for each domain as well as the Total, which combined all 6 domains; therefore each scale including total has a range of 0 (best) to 3 (worst).

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  4. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale - Parent Version: Investigator Adminitered and Scored (ADHD-RS-IV Parent:Inv)

    Measures the 18 symptoms contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscales consisted of 9 items each, for total subcale scores ranging from 0 to 27. Higher scores are indicative of more severe symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  5. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in Clinical Global Impression Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Severity (CGI-ADHD-S)

    Measures severity of the patient's overall severity of ADHD symptoms (1=normal, not at all ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients).

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  6. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-CE CRF for Children (6-11 Years)

    CHIP-CE CRF: child rated assessment of their health status and level of functioning. Domains: Achievement, Satisfaction, Comfort, Risk Avoidance, Resilience. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  7. Change From Baseline to 4 Month, 6 Month, and 12 Month Endpoints in the CHIP-Adolescent Edition (AE) for Adolescents (>11-17 Years)

    CHIP-AE CRF: adolescent rated assessment of their health status and level of functioning. Domains: Achievement, Satisfaction, Comfort, Risk Avoidance, Resilience. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a 5-point response format (1=never, 5=always). Standard scores (T-scores) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Normative range is 40 to 60. Higher scores indicate better health and lower scores indicate worse health.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months

  8. Correlation Between CHIP-CE Parent Rated and Pooled CHIP-CE Child Rated and CHIP AE Adolescent Rated T-Scores

    Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated on each domain at baseline, Month 6 and Change to Month 6 between parent-rated CHIP and pooled patient-rated (child and adolescent) CHIP.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atomoxetine and Other standard therapy for ADHD in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 35 sites in 9 countries.

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 5 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 27 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Mexico and 4 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Apr 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline to 6 Month Endpoint in Child Health and Illness Profile - Child Edition, Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE PRF), Achievement Domain (time frame: Baseline, 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 27 Apr 2010.
