Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of MTS while attempting to establish the appropriate starting dose for subjects previously on an existing long-acting methylphenidate product.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by 3 main symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This study will assess the safety and tolerability of SPD485 while attempting to establish the appropriate starting dose for subjects previously on an existing long-acting methylphenidate product.
