Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the videogame-like digital therapy on attentional functioning and symptoms in Adults diagnosed with ADHD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a multi-center, unblinded/non-controlled adaptive design study to evaluate objective attention functioning and ADHD symptoms and impairments in adults with a diagnosis of ADHD (combined or inattentive subtype), stably on or off ADHD medication, after 6 weeks of AKL-T01 treatment.

A maximum of 325 total participants from 12-30 sites will be enrolled.

During the Screening/baseline, participants will undergo screening to evaluate eligibility for the study. Eligible participants will continue onto baseline procedures in the same visit.

Treatment phase (Day 2-42) will involve using the digital therapy at home for each participant. Compliance with treatment/use requirements will be monitored remotely during this phase.

An In-Clinic assessment will be completed on Day 42 to assess key outcomes.
