NeuroLex EEG-Based ADHD Assessment Aid, Pivotal Study (NEBA)

July 29, 2008 updated by: Lexicor Medical Technology, LLC

Best Estimate Diagnosis Used to Evaluate EEG in Association With ADHD in a Multi-Site, Clinical Sample of Children and Adolescents

The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized EEG method with the intended clinical users in the intended clinical settings with the intended population (patients who would typically receive a clinician's evaluation for ADHD). Multiple sites will be examined to provide a sample of patients across numerous communities with different demographics. The goal is to evaluate if the predictive accuracy of EEG will not be inferior to that of a widely-used and extensively validated ADHD scale in the prediction of ADHD in the intended use population as evaluated by Best Estimate Diagnosis.

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

6 years to 18 years (ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study focuses on individuals who have consecutively presented to participating clinics with suspected attention and/or behavior concerns and would receive a clinician's comprehensive evaluation for ADHD. The study population includes male and female participants aged 6-17.99 years regardless of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic origin. Because of inclusion of patients with consecutive presentation to provide a representative clinical sample, the exact numbers for sub-groups will not be controlled. The study population will include patients with comorbid conditions. The non-ADHD subgroup will include patients with other causes of attentional concerns, which may include other common psychiatric disorders, organic causes of attention problems (such as poor hearing, vision disturbances, remote head injury, substance abuse), and/or no diagnosis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject willing to voluntarily participate in a research study that includes EEG collection and analysis.
  • Family/patient seeking comprehensive clinical evaluation for attention and/or behavior concerns.
  • Male or female at least 6 years of age and who will not be over 17.99 years of age upon admission to study.
  • Willing to stop any and all current psychiatric medications prior to or by entry into study.
  • Subject and parent (or legal representative) of an educational level and degree of understanding sufficient to communicate suitably with the investigator, rater and study coordinator.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous diagnosis of mental retardation. IQ < 70 by previous records.
  • History of seizure disorder or of EEG abnormalities. On anticonvulsants for seizure control.
  • Metal plate or metal device in the head.
  • Suicide ideation or gesture and/or homicidal ideation or gesture.
  • Concomitant medications during participation in a research study. No prescription or nonprescription medications with psychoactive properties that may affect EEG (such as over-the-counter dietary supplements, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine). No antipsychotics, no psychostimulants, no antidepressants. Washout of at least one week or longer depending on the medication and clinician's judgment. Medication used for medical reasons must be cleared by research staff with consideration of known effects on EEG.
  • Known serious medical problems (cardiovascular, hematological, liver, seizure disorder, renal, or chronic respiratory problems).

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
