Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study for Patients With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Treated With Atomoxetine (NCT NCT00471354)

NCT ID: NCT00471354

Last Updated: 2010-01-12

Results Overview

Correlation was calculated between change from baseline and endpoint in ADHD-RS Total Score and change in SGA total score. ADHD-RS measures 18 symptoms associated with diagnosis of ADHD. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. SGA: Grades (0 to 100) in classes of Language, Math, and Science were obtained and average taken to get SGA Total Score between 0 and 100; higher scores indicating better grades/apptitude. Any ordinal grades were imputed to numerical grades based on communication with relevant schools.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 24 weeks

Population: All patients with baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline score for each of the variables, regardless of them having or not having received any ordinal grades (for the SGA).

Correlation was calculated between change from baseline and endpoint in ADHD-RS Total Score and change in SGA total score. ADHD-RS measures 18 symptoms associated with diagnosis of ADHD. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. SGA: Grades (0 to 100) in classes of Language, Math, and Science were obtained and average taken to get SGA Total Score between 0 and 100; higher scores indicating better grades/apptitude. Any ordinal grades were imputed to numerical grades based on communication with relevant schools.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 24 weeks

Population: All patients with baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline score for each of the variables, regardless of them having or not having received any ordinal grades (for the SGA).

Correlation was calculated between change from baseline and endpoint in ADHD-RS Total Score and change in separate SGA language, math, and science scores. ADHD-RS measures 18 symptoms associated with diagnosis of ADHD. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. SGA: separate language, math, and science school grades on a scale of 0-100, with higher scores indicating better grades/apptitude in the respective class. Any ordinal grades were imputed to numerical grades based on communication with relevant schools.

Population: All patients with baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline score for each of the variables. Last observation carried forward.

Separate school grades in the classes of Language, Math, and Science were obtained. A score between 0 and 100 was provided for each of the three classes, and the average taken to get a SGA Total Score between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating better grades/apptitude in each class and overall. Any ordinal grades were imputed to numerical grades based on communication with relevant schools.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 24 weeks

Population: All patients with baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline score for each of the variables. Last observation carried forward.

A 27-item rating scale (0 \[not at all/never\] to 3 \[very much true/very often\]) completed by the parent to assess problem behaviors related to ADHD. Subscale assessed: ADHD Index. ADHD Index is the sum of items 1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, and 27. Subscale total scores range from 0 to 36. Higher scores reflect more severe problem behaviors related to ADHD.
