A Classroom Study to Assess the Time of Onset of Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate) in Pediatric Subjects Aged 6-12 With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

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).

Treatment and study plan

Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate)

Drug

Following completion of the open-label dose optimization period and successful titration to an optimal dose of Vyvanse™, subjects will take their optimized dose of Vyvanse™ (30, 50 or 70 mg/day).

Placebo

Drug

Placebo

Primary outcomes

  1. 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.

    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).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration 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.

    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).
