Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Vyvanse on Driving in Young Adults With ADHD (NCT NCT00801229)

NCT ID: NCT00801229

Last Updated: 2014-03-10

Results Overview

Initial results from a one hour driving simulation in the MIT AgeLab Driving Simulator as compared to second session in the simulator following a 6-week trial on Lisdexamfetamine or placebo. During the simulation, "surprise events," designed to test the participant's attention and driving, occurred. This outcome presents the difference in number of collisions experience by individuals treated with Vyvanse or Placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Participants who completed the protocol, including endpoint Driving Simulation assessment, were analyzed (61 in total).

Initial results from a one hour driving simulation in the MIT AgeLab Driving Simulator as compared to second session in the simulator following a 6-week trial on Lisdexamfetamine or placebo. During the simulation, "surprise events," designed to test the participant's attention and driving, occurred. This outcome presents the difference in number of collisions experience by individuals treated with Vyvanse or Placebo.
