Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy and Safety Study for JNS001 in Adults With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (NCT NCT01323192)

NCT ID: NCT01323192

Last Updated: 2013-09-06

Results Overview

CAARS-O: SV evaluates DSM-IV-oriented inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity as well as measures of self-concept. The CAARS-O:SV comprises 30 items to measure symptoms for ADHD in adults. Each item is scored from 0 (not at all, never) to 3 (very much, very frequently) with higher scores corresponding to worse symptoms. The total score can range from 0 (best) to 90 (worst). Lower score indicates improvement in ADHD symptoms.

The CGI-S rating scale is used to rate the severity of a patient's psychotic condition on a 7-point scale. It is rated as follows: 1=Normal, not at all ill, 2=Borderline mentally ill, 3=Mildly ill, 4=Moderately ill, 5=Markedly ill, 6=Severely ill, and 7=Among the most extremely ill. Higher scores indicate worsening.

The CGI-C is a assessment of change in global clinical status, defined as a sense of well-being and ability to function in daily activities. CGI-C scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse). Higher scores indicate worsening.

Q-LES-Q-SF is a 16-item questionnaire in which each question is rated on a 5-point scale with scores ranging from "1 = very poor" to "5 = very good". The total raw score is calculated by summing up the scores for the 16 items. The raw total score is transformed into a percentage maximum possible score using the following formula:(raw total score -minimum score) / (maximum possible raw score -minimum score). The minimum raw score on the Q-LES-Q-SF is 16 (worst), and the maximum score is 80 (best). A higher score indicates a better quality of life.
