Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

13 years to 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at Endpoint
Time Frame: baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-fourth edition (ADHD-RS-IV) consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54.
baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the Conner's Parent Rating Scale-Revised (CPRS-R) Total Score at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
The Conner's Parent rating Scale-revised short version (CPRS-R) consists of 27 questions graded on a scale from 0 (not true at all) to 3 (very much true).
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Improvement in Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) Score
Time Frame: up to 7 weeks
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement includes a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.
up to 7 weeks
Improvement in Parent Global Assessment (PGA) Score
Time Frame: up to 7 weeks
Parent Global Assessment (PGA) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement includes a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.
up to 7 weeks
Change From Baseline in Youth Quality of Life-research Version (YQOL-R) Total Score at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
The Youth Quality of Life Instrument-research version (YQOL-R) is a validated 56-item generic instrument for comparing quality of life of adolescents across condition groups that scores each question on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often).
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Dermal Response Scale (DRS) Scores
Time Frame: up to 7 weeks
Mean dermal reaction scores were graded on a scale ranging from 0 (no irritation) to 7 (strong reaction) for observed findings of erythema, edema, papules, and vesicles.
up to 7 weeks
Change From Baseline in Electrocardiogram Results(QTcF Interval) at Endpoint

QTcF is the QT interval using Fridericia's correction formula. QT interval is a measure of time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave and is dependent on the heart rate(e.g., the faster the heart rate, the shorter the QT interval). The QT interval has to be corrected in order to aid interpretation.
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Pulse Rate at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Weight at Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)
Baseline and endpoint (up to 7 weeks)

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: up to 7 weeks
