SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 Months, 12 Months, 2 Years, 3 Years, 4 Years

Population: Full Analysis Set: Participants who met Study LYBC criteria, took 1 dose of drug, had a baseline/post-baseline measurement. Changes from baseline used LOCF approach. Baseline was the last non-missing measurement before taking atomoxetine (either LYDA Week 0 or LYBC Week 2). Endpoint was the last non-missing measurement in each assessment period.

Measures the 18 symptoms contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Over 1 year

Population: Full Analysis Set: Participants who met Study LYBC criteria, took 1 dose of drug, had a baseline/post-baseline measurement. Changes from baseline used LOCF approach. Baseline was the last non-missing measurement before taking atomoxetine (either LYDA Week 0 or LYBC Week 2). Endpoint was the last non-missing measurement in each assessment period.

Participants were categorized as either extensive metabolizers (EM) or poor metabolizers (PM). CYP2D6 is the primary atomoxetine metabolizing enzyme. The CYP2D6 genotype were analysed by testing the \*2, \*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, \*8, and \*10 alleles. Metabolizer status was determined by focusing on the normal(wild type, \*2), decreased(\*10), and defective allele(\*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, or \*8). PM were assigned to the patients had two defective alleles in any combination of \*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, or \*8 alleles. EM was all except for PM.
