Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison of Slow and Fast Transition From Stimulants to Atomoxetine in Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) (NCT NCT00760747)

NCT ID: NCT00760747

Last Updated: 2011-09-01

Results Overview

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 (ADHD). Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54. Higher score indicates greater severity of disease. Least squares means are adjusted for baseline, site, treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction.

Participant Flow

Study Period II was a 10-week treatment period. Study Period III was a 4-week period, during which participants continued on atomoxetine treatment in the same dose as given at the end of Study Period II or in a higher dose, up to a maximum of 1.8 mg/kg/day.

Population: Intention to treat (ITT) population includes all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, that is, they have a non-missing dose for atomoxetine study treatment.

The GIPD scale is a 5-item rating of ADHD-related difficulties (overall difficulties perceived in the morning, during school, during homework, in the evening, and over the entire day and night). For each item, difficulties during the past week are rated on a 7-point scale (1 = normal, not difficult at all; 7 = extremely difficult) and the mean of the 5 items is reported. Least square means are adjusted for baseline, site, treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction.

The CGI- S is a single-item clinician rating of the severity of the participant's ADHD symptoms in relation to the clinician's total experience of ADHD participants. Severity is rated on a seven-point scale (1 = normal, not ill at all; 7 = among the most extremely ill patients). Least square means are adjusted for baseline, site, treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction.

CHIP-CE-PRF consists of 76 items. The majority of items assess frequency of activities or feelings using a five-point response format. Standard scores (t-value) were established, with all domains and subdomains having a mean score of 50 and standard deviation (SD) of 10. Standard scores are expressed in SD units. T-score=\[(Score- Mean for the reference population \[Ref Pop\])\*10/SD for the Ref Pop\]+50. Higher scores mean better quality of life. Least square means are adjusted for baseline, site, treatment, visit and treatment by visit interaction.

Columbia Suicide Rating Scale (C-SSRS): scale capturing occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Number of participants with suicidal behaviors and ideations are provided. Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide. Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions, which includes wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation.
