What participants receive

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

  • Atomoxetine HydrochlorideDrug

    Also called LY139603, Strattera

    Patients receive 0.2 mg/kg/day atomoxetine administered orally in two divided doses for the duration of the 6-week acute treatment period

  • Atomoxetine hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called LY139603, Strattera

    Patients receive 0.5 mg/kg/day atomoxetine administered orally in two divided doses for the duration of the 6-week acute treatment period

  • Atomoxetine hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called LY139603, Strattera

    Patients initially receive atomoxetine 0.5 mg/kg/day administered orally in two divided doses for approximately 7 days. Patients will then receive atomoxetine 0.8 mg/kg/day administered orally in two divided doses for approximately 7 days.

    Patients will receive atomoxetine 1.2 mg/kg/day administered orally in two divided doses for the remainder of the study, lasting approximately 28 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV-Parent Version: Investigator Administered and Scored (ADHDRS-IV-Parent:Inv) Total Score

    Measures the 18 symptoms contained in the DSM-IV 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 (no symptoms) to 54 (highly symptomatic).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 42

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-Severity Scale (CGI-ADHD-S) Score at Days 7, 14, 42, and Last Observation Carried Forward Endpoint

    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, Days 7, 14, 42

  2. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-Improvement Scale (CGI-ADHD-I) Score at Days 7, 14, 42, and Last Observation Carried Forward Endpoint

    Measures total improvement (or worsening) of a patient's ADHD symptoms from the beginning of treatment. (1=very much improved, 7=very much worsened)

    Measured: Baseline, Days 7, 14, 42

  3. Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation

    Adverse Events (Preferred Term) leading to discontinuation by decreasing frequency

    Measured: Baseline to Day 42

  4. Incidence of Completion of the Columbia Suicide-Severity Rating Scale, Suicide and Self-Harm Summary

    Columbia Suicide-Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) captures occurrence, severity \& frequency of suicide-related thoughts \& behaviors, via questions designed to solicit information to determine if a suicide-related thought or behavior occurred. The C-SSRS is not scored; recorded incidents are counted. C-SSRS was only required if an adverse event was reported that the investigator suspected to represent a suicidal thought or behavior. If the C-SSR was completed at a visit, the Self-Harm Supplement was also required. If a self-harm event was reported, the Self-Harm Follow-Up form was also required.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 42

  5. Heart Rate Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint

    Measured: Baseline, Day 42

  6. Temperature Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint

    Measured: Baseline, Day 42

  7. Blood Pressure Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint

    Measured: Baseline, Day 42

  8. Weight Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint

    Measured: Baseline, Day 42

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 3 sites in South Korea.

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 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 26 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Korea. 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 14 Dec 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?

Change From Baseline to Day 42 Endpoint in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV-Parent Version: Investigator Administered and Scored (ADHDRS-IV-Parent:Inv) Total Score (time frame: Baseline, Day 42). 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 26 Jan 2010.
