Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: NT0102
After the screening/washout period, all participants will receive study drug NT0102 once daily for 4 weeks during the dose optimization period. After completion of the dose optimization period, the optimized dose of the study drug will be selected, and participants will stay on that dose for 1 week (dose stabilization period). At the end of this period, participants will be randomized to a treatment. Participants in this arm will be given 20-60 mg of NT0102 as oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) once daily for one week during the double-blind treatment period.
Drug: NT0102
NT0102 (methylphenidate polistirex [MPP] extended release [XR] ODT) was given once daily at a dose equivalent to 20-60 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
After the screening/washout period, all participants will receive study drug NT0102 once daily for 4 weeks during the dose optimization period. After completion of the dose optimization period, the optimized dose of the study drug will be selected, and participants will stay on that dose for 1 week (dose stabilization period). At the end of this period, participants will be randomized to a treatment. Participants in this arm will be given placebo as matching ODT once daily for one week during the double-blind treatment period.
Drug: Placebo
Matching ODT placebo was given once daily.

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
Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Score
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)
The primary efficacy endpoint was derived from the SKAMP-Combined score calculated as the total score of all 13 items of the SKAMP-Combined score. The SKAMP-Combined score was obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for a total possible score of 0 to 78. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e., is better). The SKAMP was a rating scale that specifically measures the classroom manifestations of ADHD. The SKAMP ratings were completed for all subjects at baseline (pre-dose) and at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 13 hours post-dose on the classroom testing day (Visit 8). The primary analysis time point for the primary efficacy endpoint was the average of all post-dose SKAMP scores during the 13-hour period.
Visit 8 (Day 42)

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
Onset of Effect
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h
Onset of effect was defined as the first time point at which NT0102 separates from placebo on SKAMP-Combined scores. A separation was defined as a statistically significant difference at the 5% level of active drug over placebo. Data was collected separately for NT0102 and Placebo arms and is reported as a comparison analysis of the two arms. This assessment was collected on the full classroom day, Visit 8.
Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h
Duration of Effect
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h
Duration of effect was defined as the last time point at which NT0102 separates from placebo on SKAMP-Combined scores. A separation was defined as a statistically significant difference at the 5% level of active drug over placebo. Data was collected separately for NT0102 and Placebo arms, and is reported as a comparison analysis of the two arms. This assessment was collected on the full classroom day, Visit 8.
Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h
The Average of the SKAMP-Attention Scores
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)
The SKAMP Rating Scale was comprised of 2 behavioral subscales, including the "Attention" subscale (4 items). The SKAMP-Attention subscore evaluates concentration in the classroom and is obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for total possible combined score of 0 to 24. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e. is better). The SKAMP-Attention subscores were derived from 20 minutes of direct observations of participant behavior. Ratings were based on the frequency and quality of behaviors.
Visit 8 (Day 42)
The Average of the SKAMP-Deportment Scores
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)
The SKAMP Rating Scale is comprised of 2 behavioural subscales, including the "Deportment" subscale (4 items). The SKAMP-Deportment subscore evaluates behaviour in the classroom and is obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for total possible combined score of 0 to 24. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e. is better). The SKAMP-Attention subscores were derived from 20 minutes of direct observations of participant behaviour. Ratings were based on the frequency and quality of behaviours.
Visit 8 (Day 42)
The Average of the Permanent Product Measure of Performance - Attempted (PERMP-A) Score
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)
The PERMP consisted of 400 math problems and was graded as number of problems "Attempted" (PERMP-A) and number of problems "Correct." (PERMP-C). It was an objective measure of performance during the classroom testing day.
Visit 8 (Day 42)
The Average of the Permanent Product Measure of Performance - Correct (PERMP-C) Score
Time Frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)
The PERMP consisted of 400 math problems and was graded as number of problems "Attempted" (PERMP-A) and number of problems "Correct." (PERMP-C). It was an objective measure of performance during the classroom testing day.
Visit 8 (Day 42)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: Visit 9 (Day 43)
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
