What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation

    Measured: Baseline through 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in the Conners' Adult Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-Investigator Rated: Screening Version-Japanese (CAARS-Inv:SV-J)

    CAARS-Inv:SV-J is a 30-item scale containing 3 subscales: inattention (9 items), hyperactivity/impulsivity (9 items), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Index (12 items). Each item is scored 0-3 (0=not at all/never; 1=just a little/once in a while; 2=pretty much/often; 3=very much/very frequently). Total ADHD symptoms score=sum of the inattention subscales (scores range from 0-27) and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscales (scores range from 0-27) with a total score range of 0-54. The ADHD Index scores range from 0-36. Higher scores indicate greater impairment.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  2. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Quality of Life (AAQoL)-29 Scores

    AAQoL is a 29 items participant completed questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Not at all/ Never) to 5 (Extremely/Very Often). AAQoL total (all 29 items) and 4 subscale scores: Life Productivity (11 items); Psychological Health (6 items); Life Outlook (7 items); Relationships (5 items). Total score is computed by (1) reversing scores for all items except the 7 items in the Life Outlook subscale; (2) transforming scores to 0-100 scale (1=0; 2=25; 3=50; 4=75; 5=100); (3) summing item scores and dividing by the item count. Higher total scores indicate better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  3. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function -Adult (BRIEF-A) Version: Self Report (BRIEF-A:Self Report )

    A 75-item standardized self-reported measure comprised of 3 subscales. Each item is rated on a 3-point Likert scale: 1 (behavior never observed) to 3 (behavior often observed). Global executive composite (GEC) subscale rates participant's GEC in everyday environment (75- 225 total score). Behavioral regulation subscale measures participant's control over behavior (30-90 total score). Metacognition subscale assesses systematic problem-solving ability while sustaining these task-completion efforts in active working memory (40-120 total score). Higher subscale ratings indicate greater perceived impairment.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  4. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in Comorbid, Anxiety Symptoms, as Measured by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale-14 (HAMA-14) Items

    The HAMA-14 instrument consists of 14 items that provide an overall measure of general anxiety, including psychic anxiety and somatic anxiety. This instrument is completed by the clinician based on his or her assessment of the participant. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale of 0 (absent) to 4 (very severe). Total score is the sum of the 14 items and ranges from 0 (normal) to 56 (severe). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  5. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in Clinical Global Impressions-Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Severity (CGI-ADHD-S)

    The CGI-ADHD-S is a single-item rating of the clinician's assessment of the overall severity of the participant's ADHD symptoms in relation to the clinician's total experience with ADHD participants. CGI-ADHD-S measures severity of the participant's overall severity of ADHD symptoms: 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants).

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  6. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult (BRIEF-A) Version: Informant Scores (BRIEF-A:Informant Scores)

    Third-party observer of participant completes 75-item scale. Comprised of 3 subscales. Each item rated on 3-point Likert scale: 1 (behavior never observed) to 3 (behavior often observed). Global executive composite (GEC) subscale rates participant's GEC in everyday environment (75-225 total score). Behavioral regulation subscale measures participant's control over behavior (30-90 total score). Metacognition subscale assesses systematic problem-solving ability while sustaining these task-completion efforts in active working memory (40-120 total score). Higher subscale ratings indicate greater perceived impairment.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

  7. Mean Change From Baseline to 48 Weeks Endpoint in Comorbid, Depressive Symptoms, as Measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAMD-17) Items

    The HAMD-17 instrument consists of 17 items used to assess the severity of depression and its improvement during the course of therapy. This instrument is completed by the clinician based on his or her assessment of the participant. Each item was evaluated and scored using either a 5-point scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (very severe) or a 3-point scale of 0 (not present) to 2 (marked). The total score is the sum of the scores from HAMD-17 Items 1 through 17 and ranges from 0 (not at all depressed) to 52 (severely depressed). Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline, 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atomoxetine in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 12 sites in Japan.

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 3 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 12 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Japan. 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 12 Dec 2012). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation (time frame: Baseline through 48 weeks). 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 12 Dec 2012.
