About this study

Official title: Guiding Dose Increases In Patients Incompletely Responsive to Usual Doses of Atomoxetine by Determining Plasma Atomoxetine Concentrations: a Randomized, Double-Blind Study

The purpose of this trial is to test the value of dose increases in patients with residual ADHD symptoms after treatment with the usual target dose of atomoxetine

Being tested
Atomoxetine Hydrochloride
Medical subject headings
Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Atomoxetine HydrochlorideDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Test whether patients treated with atomoxetine 1.2 mg/kg/day who have sub-optimal clinical responses and peak plasma atomoxetine levels no higher than 800 ng/mL will benefit from a dose increase to 2.4 mg/kg/day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess the relationship between plasma atomoxetine concentration levels and ADHD symptom response

  2. Compare the efficacy of atomoxetine up to 2.4 mg/kg/day with atomoxetine at 1.2 mg/kg/day in reducing residual ADHD symptoms

  3. Assess the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine at doses up to 2.4 mg/kg/day compared to 1.2 mg/kg/day in patients with peak plasma atomoxetine concentration levels no higher than 800 ng/mL as assessed by AEs elicited during open-ended questioning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atomoxetine Hydrochloride in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in 2 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 1 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Test whether patients treated with atomoxetine 1.2 mg/kg/day who have sub-optimal clinical responses and peak plasma atomoxetine levels no higher than 800 ng/mL will benefit from a dose increase to 2.4 mg/kg/day. 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 1 Nov 2007.
