Brief Summary

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

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate (OROS MPH), relative to placebo, increases the effectiveness of standard smoking treatment (i.e., nicotine patch and individual smoking cessation counseling) in obtaining prolonged abstinence for smokers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Detailed Description

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

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether OROS MPH (Concerta), relative to placebo, increases the effectiveness of standard smoking treatment (i.e., nicotine patch and individual smoking cessation counseling) in obtaining prolonged abstinence for smokers with ADHD. The study will involve an estimated 252 participants, recruited from approximately 6 sites.

Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate

Intervention Type DRUG

OROS-MPH dosing strategy will start with 18 mg/day for 3 days, increasing to 36mg/day for the next three days; increasing to 54 mg/day in week two, and to 72 mg/day in week three through the remainder of the study (as tolerated). And, nicotine patch dosing schedule will be 21 mg/day during weeks 4-11; 14 mg/day during weeks 12-13; and 7 mg/day in week 14.

Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

OROS-MPH (placebo) dosing strategy will start with 18 mg/day for 3 days, increasing to 36mg/day for the next three days; increasing to 54 mg/day in week two, and to 72 mg/day in week three through the remainder of the study (as tolerated). And, nicotine patch dosing schedule will be 21 mg/day during weeks 4-11; 14 mg/day during weeks 12-13; and 7 mg/day in week 14.
