About this study

Official title: A Phase IIIb, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-Center, Placebo- Controlled, Dose-Optimization, Cross-Over, Analog Classroom Study to Assess the Time of Onset of Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate) in Pediatric Subjects Aged 6-12 With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

The primary objective of this study is to assess the time of onset of Vyvanse compared to placebo, in the analog classroom as measured by the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M. Flynn and Pelham (SKAMP) deportment scale in children (aged 6-12) diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Onset of Effect of Vyvanse

    The onset of effect will be defined as the first assessment time showing statistical significance between Vyvanse and placebo as measured by the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Deportment scale. The degree of impairment is rated from 0 (normal) to 6 (maximal).

    Measured: Evaluations were conducted at 1.5, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.0, and 13.0 hours post-dose.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Duration of Effect of Vyvanse

    Duration of effect will be defined as the first time point at which there is a non-significant difference between Vyvanse and placebo after a time point at which there is a significant difference between the two treatment groups as measured by SKAMP Deportment Scores. The degree of impairment is rated from 0 (normal) to 6 (maximal).

    Measured: Evaluations were conducted at 1.5, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.0, and 13.0 hours post-dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) in people with ADHD, run by Shire at 9 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 14 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 5 Jun 2009). 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?

Onset of Effect of Vyvanse (time frame: Evaluations were conducted at 1.5, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.0, and 13.0 hours post-dose.). 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 NCT00500149, 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 14 Jun 2021.
