Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy & Safety of KAPVAY™ Extended-Release in Children & Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (NCT NCT01439126)

NCT ID: NCT01439126

Last Updated: 2014-10-27

Results Overview

Treatment failure a ≥30 percentage increase (worsening)(ADHD-RS-IV, clinician version) total score and a ≥2 point increase (worsening) in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-S) at any two consecutive visits during the randomized-withdrawal period. The ADHD-RS-IV of 2 subscales: inattention - 9 items and hyperactivity-impulsivity - 9 items. Each gives a score ranging from 0 (none, never or rarely) to 3 (severe, very often), for a total score ranging from 0 to 54 (higher score worse). The CGI-S is a 7-point scale,1 (Normal, not at all ill) to 7 (extremely ill patients).The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) asks the clinician one question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" which is rated on the following seven-point scale: 1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients.

Measure
Subjects on KAPVAY (Clonidine Hydrochloride)
Subjects in the KAPVAY arm received their optimal dose of KAPVAY (as determined after a 4-week, open-label, dose optimization period) for the duration of the 26-week randomized-withdrawal period. All subjects were given study medication at the baseline visit (Visit 2, open label) and instructed to take 1 x 0.1 mg tablet each evening (Day 1) at bedtime until the next visit. Subjects who required an increase in total dose to 0.2 mg/day took 1 x 0.1 mg tablet (0.1 mg) in the morning and at bedtime until the next visit. Those who required a further increase in dose to 0.3 mg/day took 1 x 0.1 mg tablet in the morning and 2 x 0.1 mg tablets at bedtime until the next visit. Patient increasing dose to 0.4 mg/day were instructed to take 2 x 0.1 mg tablets in the morning and at bedtime until the next visit. Of 68 Subjects randomized to KAPVAY: 24 (35.3%) oral dose of 0.4 mg/day 25 (36.8%) oral dose of 0.3 mg/day 14 (20.6%) oral dose of 0.2 mg/day 5 (7.4%) oral dose of 0.1 mg/day
Subjects on Placebo
Subjects randomized to the placebo arm were tapered off their optimal dose of KAPVAY (as determined after a 4-week, open-label, dose optimization period) at weekly intervals in decrements of 0.1 mg/day until reaching the dose of 0 mg/day, and then received only placebo for the rest of the study Of 67 Subjects randomized to Placebo: 26 (38.8%) oral dose of 0.4 mg/day 24 (35.8%) oral dose of 0.3 mg/day 15 (22.4%) oral dose of 0.2 mg/day 2 (3.0%) oral dose of 0.1 mg/day

Population: Double-Blind Full Analysis Set

The ADHD-RS-IV (clinician version), has been widely used as a measure of efficacy in clinical trials of treatments in children and adolescents with ADHD. It is derived from the 18 inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive diagnostic criteria for ADHD from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The clinician version of the ADHD-RS-IV has a large base of normative data and has demonstrated reliability and discriminant validity in children and adolescents. The ADHD-RS-IV of 2 subscales: inattention - 9 items and hyperactivity-impulsivity - 9 items. Each gives a score ranging from 0 (none, never or rarely) to 3 (severe, very often), for a total score ranging from 0 to 54 (higher score worse and a lower score more favourable). Two subscales are summed.

The CGI-S is a clinician rated instrument designed to assess the subject's current illness state. The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) asks the clinician one question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" which is rated on the following seven-point scale: 1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients. This rating is based upon observed and reported symptoms, behavior, and function in the past seven days.

The WFIRS-P is designed to assess the impact of child's behavior or emotional problems on 7 domains related to function: Family (10 items), School Learning (4 items), School Behavior (6 items), Life Skills (10 items), Child's Self-concept (3 items), Social Activities (7 items), and Risky Activities (10 items). Each item was scored on a scale ranging from 0 ("never" or "not at all") to 3 ("very often" or "very much"). Each scale score was calculated as the average for that scale. The total score is the average of all non-missing items. Higher scores are associated with greater impact of disease on functioning.

Change in the ESS-C scale from randomization to end of randomized-withdrawal period. The ESS-C is a simple eight-tem Likert scale designed to assess daytime sleepiness in children aged 2-18 years. The scale takes less than two minutes to be completed by patient or by parent rating. Sleepiness is a common symptom in both medicated and unmedicated children with ADHD given the predominance of impaired sleep quality. The total score achieved when the chance of dozing in each situation is added up serves as the outcome measure. The ESS-C comprises 8 items describing various daytime activities. Item scores ranging from 0 ("would never doze or sleep") to 3 ("high chance of dozing or sleeping"). A total score is derived as the sum of the items, with higher total scores indicative of a greater level of sleepiness (worse outcome). Total scores range from 0 to 24.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 20 (Week 40)

Population: Double-Blind Full Analysis Set

The outcome reported is the number of subjects that responded "Yes" to the question "Do you have a wish to be dead" at Visit 20. C-SSRS is a clinician-rated instrument designed to provide consistent and systematic assessment of both suicidal ideation and behavior within a study, as well as across studies. The scale is a feasible, low burden series of questions that appropriately assess and track all suicidal events, including ideation. Suicidal ideation is assessed according to yes/no responses to 5 questions of increasing severity (from a wish to die to an active thought of killing oneself with plan and intent) as follows: 1. Wish to be Dead 2. Non-Specific Active Suicidal Thoughts 3. Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act 4. Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan 5. Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent
