PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) is defined as all subjects who took at least one dose of study medication and had a valid Baseline and at least one post-Baseline follow-up assessment of the primary outcome measure (ADHD-RS-IV Total Score)

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.

Population: FAS

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.
