About this study

Official title: Real-world Evidence of Duration of Adhansia XR for Treatment of ADHD (RE-DAX): An Open-label Pragmatic Study to Assess the Real-world Effectiveness of Adhansia XR in Treatment of Adult and Adolescent Patients With ADHD in the United States

The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatment effectiveness of Adhansia XR at month-2 after initiation, and the effectiveness of Adhansia XR overall and when compared with the active comparator group (Concerta) over time.

Read the detailed description

This phase IV study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, pragmatic study to investigate the treatment effectiveness of Adhansia XR at Month-2 after initiation, and the effectiveness of Adhansia XR overall and when compared with the active comparator group (OROS MPH or Concerta) over time. Additional outcome assessments for both treatment arms include Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) during the 6-month follow-up period. The burden of illness (BOI) will be investigated by collecting additional measures such as healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), broader treatment patterns, and comorbidities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in ADHD-Rating Scale 5 (ADHD-RS-5) Total Score From Baseline to Month 2 Among Patients Treated With Adhansia XR

    The ADHD-RS-5 assesses the frequency and severity of each of the 18 ADHD symptoms among adults based on DSM-5 criteria. Each of the 18 DSM-5 symptoms are rated on a 4 point scale from 0 (never or rarely) to 3 (very often), yielding a total score of 0 to 54. A higher score corresponds to worse ADHD severity.

    Measured: Baseline to Month-2

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Difference in Time Sensitive ADHD Symptom Scale (TASS) Between Treatment Groups to Establish Non-inferiority

    TASS was completed at the end of waking hours (14 - 16 hours post-dosing) at Month-2 after baseline visit. TASS was developed to capture the change in ADHD symptoms over the course of a day and consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 ADHD symptom domains listed in the DSM-5. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale as follows: 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe); the maximum total score is 54. A higher total score corresponds to worse ADHD severity.

    Measured: Month-2

  2. Assessment of Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S)

    The CGI-S rates symptoms from 1 (not ill) to 7 (extremely ill). A higher score corresponds to higher ADHD severity.

    Measured: Baseline, Month-2, Month-4, and Month-6

  3. Assessment of Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I)

    The CGI-I measures global improvement prior to and after initiating the study medication. The CGI-I scale is 1 question, and rates improvement compared with the baseline visit using a 7-point scale. The range of responses are from 1 (very much improved) through 7 (very much worse). A higher score corresponds to higher ADHD severity.

    Measured: Month-2, Month-4, and Month-6

  4. Assessment of Treatment Satisfaction

    The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medications (TSQM) measures a patient's level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the study medication. It assesses perceptions of effectiveness, side effects and convenience of the medication and consists of 14 items that evaluate these three domains and one global scale item (ie, global satisfaction). Scores for each domain are computed by adding the TSQM items in each domain and then transforming the composite score into a value ranging from 0 to 100.

    A lower score indicates a lower satisfaction with treatment.

    Measured: Month-1, Month-2, and Month-6

  5. Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU)

    A comparison of the frequency of health care encounters between the 2 treatment groups. Healthcare resource utilization were evaluated monthly by comparing the frequency of clinic visits (outpatient), inpatient/hospitalizations (and length of stay), and emergency department visits between the 2 treatment groups.

    Measured: Baseline (past 6 months) Months -2, -4, and -6

  6. Adult ADHD Quality of Life Scale - Revised (AAQoL-R)

    Used to assess health-related quality of life for adult patients. The AAQoL yields a total score based on 29 items. The raw scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline, Months -1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6

  7. Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire

    The WPAI questionnaire is designed to measure the effect of general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities during the past 7 days. It consists of 4 domains [absenteeism (missing work), presenteeism (impaired productivity at work), overall work performance (combined absenteeism and presenteeism), and non-work activities (activity impairment)]. WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

    Measured: Baseline, Months -2, -3, -4, -5, and -6

  8. Patient Sleep Quality as Measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    The PSQI is an instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep; It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep. It is filled out by the caregiver or the patient and the global sum score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating worse sleep quality.

    Measured: Baseline and Months -2, -4, and -6
