Treatment and study plan

LDX 30 mg

Drug

Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to a daily morning dose of LDX (30, 50, or 70mg/day) or placebo for a double-blind stepwise forced dose titration (3 weeks) followed by a 1-week Dose Maintenance Period. The test product is LDX, available in 30, 50, and 70mg capsules. All test products will appear identical to placebo to protect the study blind.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at up to 4 Weeks

    Time frame: Baseline and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks

    The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Improvement on Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scores

    Time frame: 1, 2, 3 and 4 Weeks

    Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.

  2. Youth Quality of Life-Research Version (YQOL-R) Total Score

    Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks

    The Youth Quality of Life-research version (YQOL-R) is a validated 56-item generic instrument for comparing quality of life of adolescents across condition groups that scores each question on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). The YQOL scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretability. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
