Trial Outcomes & Findings for Amphetamine Extended-Release Tablets in the Treatment of Adults With ADHD (NCT NCT03834766)

NCT ID: NCT03834766

Last Updated: 2023-11-02

Results Overview

The Total Math Score is the sum of the number of math problems attempted plus the number of math problems answered correctly and it provides an objective measure of performance that is time-sensitive, ADHD medication-sensitive, and well documented as a measure to evaluate ADHD medication effectiveness throughout the day. The Total Math Score ranges from 0-800 with higher scores indicating better performance.

Timeframe: From baseline to week 5

The Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) is a paper-and-pencil cognitive test presented on a single sheet of paper that requires a subject to match symbols to numbers according to a key located on the top of the page. The DSST is sensitive to the presence of cognitive dysfunction as well as to change in cognitive function. The DSST is a 90 second test requiring participants to match symbols with numbers according to a code. Potential scores range from 0 to 100, and lower scores indicate worse performance.

The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Possible ratings are: 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.
