Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study in Preschool Children Aged 4-5 Years With Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (NCT NCT03260205)

NCT ID: NCT03260205

Last Updated: 2021-06-08

Results Overview

ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was adapted from the ADHD Rating Scale-IV and provided examples appropriate for the developmental level of preschool children. The ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was an 18-item questionnaire that required the respondent to rate the frequency of occurrence of ADHD symptoms as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (never or rarely) to 3 (very often) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items were grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17). Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post-dose ADHD RS IV preschool version total score assessment.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 49 sites in United States between 06 September 2017 (first participant enrolled) and 23 October 2018 (last participant completed).

A total of 284 participants were screened of them 85 participants were screen failures and did not receive any treatment. 199 participants (153 participants for SPD489 treatment and 46 participants for placebo treatment) were randomized, out of them 150 participants completed the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

Population: Full analysis set. Here, number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. This outcome was pre-specified to collect and analyze pooled groups of SPD489 doses. The data were planned, analyzed, and reported only for the placebo and the pooled 10, 20, 30 mg doses of SPD489 arms.

ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was adapted from the ADHD Rating Scale-IV and provided examples appropriate for the developmental level of preschool children. The ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was an 18-item questionnaire that required the respondent to rate the frequency of occurrence of ADHD symptoms as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (never or rarely) to 3 (very often) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items were grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17). Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post-dose ADHD RS IV preschool version total score assessment.

This outcome was pre-specified to collect and analyze pooled groups of SPD489 doses. The data were planned, analyzed, and reported only for the placebo and the pooled 10, 20, 30 mg doses of SPD489 arms.

CGI-I was an overall assessment of global symptom improvement by evaluation of the participant's condition severity and improvement over time. Scoring was done based on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), where higher score reported worse condition. The scoring was elaborated as: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse. FAS consisted of all participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post-dose ADHD RS IV preschool version total score assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

Population: Dose response analysis set. Here, number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. Each SPD489 arm is compared with placebo sequentially, with the highest dose level first.

Dose response relationship was evaluated by using the ADHD-RS Preschool Version Total Score. ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was adapted from the ADHD Rating Scale-IV and provided examples appropriate for the developmental level of preschool children. The ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was an 18-item questionnaire that requires the respondent to rate the frequency of occurrence of ADHD symptoms as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (never or rarely) to 3 (very often) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items were grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17). Dose response analysis set consisted of all participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 valid primary efficacy measurement on the randomized target dose level of the investigational product.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Week 7)

Population: Safety analysis set consisted of all randomized set who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a investigational product (IP) and that does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that start or deteriorate on or after the date of the first dose of IP and no later than 3 days following the last dose of IP.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: Safety analysis set consisted of all randomized set who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product. Here, number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure at the specific categories.

Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire was a tool designed to screen the most common sleep problems in children, and consisted of 33 items for scoring. The instrument evaluated the child's sleep based on behavior within 8 different subscales: bedtime resistance, sleep-onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night walkings, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, and daytime sleepiness. Each item receives a score from 1 (problem occurs rarely) to 3 (problem usually occurs); therefore, a higher score is the worse outcome. Scale ranges are as follows: bedtime resistance: 6 to 18, sleep onset delay: 1 to 3, sleep duration: 3 to 9, sleep anxiety: 4 to 12, night walkings: 3 to 9, parasomnias: 7 to 21, sleep-disordered breathing: 3 to 9, daytime sleepiness: 8 to 24, and total disturbance (items from all scales): 33 to 99.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Week 6

Population: Safety analysis set consisted of all randomized set who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product. Here, number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

C-SSRS was semi-structured interview that captured the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. The interview included definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behavior occurred. The C-SSRS contained 2 required items pertaining to suicidal ideation, 4 required items pertaining to suicidal behavior, and 1 required item pertaining to non-suicidal but self-injurious behavior. In situations where there was a positive response to the screening questions, there were 8 additional suicidal ideation items and 4 additional suicidal behavior items which were completed. Thus, there was a maximum of 19 items to be completed. Here number of participants responded as yes to suicidal ideation or behaviour were reported.
