Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of SHP465 in Children and Adolescents Aged 6-17 Years With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (NCT NCT02466425)

NCT ID: NCT02466425

Last Updated: 2021-06-03

Results Overview

The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD based on diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition - text revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (reflecting no symptoms) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items may be grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even-numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd-numbered items 1-17). Higher score = more severe symptoms.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Visit 6 (Week 4)

Population: Full-analysis set (FAS) consisted of the safety set who had at least 1 post-dose ADHD-RS-IV total score assessment. FAS with number of participants evaluable for this outcome.

The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD based on diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition - text revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (reflecting no symptoms) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items may be grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even-numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd-numbered items 1-17). Higher score = more severe symptoms.
