PART B: Efficacy and Safety of AEVI-001 in Children and Adolescents With ADHD and Without mGluR Mutations

July 2, 2021 updated by: Aevi Genomic Medicine, LLC, a Cerecor company

A Multicenter, 2-Part, 6-Week, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-design Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of AEVI-001 in Children and Adolescents (Ages 6-17 Years) With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and With or Without Copy Number Variants in Specific Genes Implicated in Glutamatergic Signaling and Neuronal Connectivity

This is PART B of a 2-part, 6-week, double-blind, dose-optimization, parallel-group study in children and adolescents (ages 6-17 years) with ADHD with and without CNVs in specific genes implicated in glutamatergic signaling and neuronal activity. PART B will assess subjects who do not have CNVs in any of the specific gene mutation(s) implicated in glutamatergic signaling and neuronal connectivity.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject and parent/legally authorized representative (LAR) can speak English fluently and have provided written informed consent, and assent (as applicable) for this study.
  2. Subject is 6 to 17 years of age (inclusive) at the time of consent/assent. The date of signature of the informed consent/assent is defined as the beginning of the Screening Period. This inclusion criterion will only be assessed at the Screening Visit (Visit 1).
  3. Subject is male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, who if of childbearing potential agrees to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements prior to administration of investigational product (IP).
  4. Subject meets Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for a primary diagnosis of ADHD based upon DSM 5 criteria.
  5. Subject has a minimum score of ≥28 on the ADHD-RS-5 at the Baseline Visit (Visit 2).
  6. Subject has been genotyped previously and has their identity confirmed (if required).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject or parent/LAR is, in the opinion of the investigator, mentally or legally incapacitated, has significant emotional problems at the time of the Screening Visit (Visit 1) which could interfere with the conduct of study evaluations.
  2. Subject has a current, controlled or uncontrolled, co-morbid major psychiatric diagnosis (aside from ADHD), including an anxiety disorder, major depression, bipolar disease, schizophrenia (or any psychotic disorder), and moderate or severe intellectual disability. Mild anxiety and/or depressive symptoms that do not meet diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder or major depression and/or do not require treatment are not exclusionary.
  3. Subject has autism spectrum disorder to include a DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, or pervasive developmental disorder.
  4. Subject is currently taking any medication that might confound the results of safety assessments conducted in the study.
  5. Subject has a known history of cardiovascular disease, advanced arteriosclerosis, structural cardiac abnormality, cardiomyopathy, serious heart rhythm abnormalities, coronary artery disease, cardiac conduction problems, exercise-related cardiac events including syncope and pre-syncope, or other serious cardiac problems.
  6. Subject has any clinically significant abnormality on 12-lead ECG performed at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and/or the Baseline Visit (Visit 2) such as serious arrhythmia, cardiac conduction problems, or other abnormalities deemed to be a potential safety issue.

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 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale, Version 5 (ADHD-RS-5) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Visit 8 (Week 6)

The ADHD-RS-5 is comprised of 18 frequency items and 12 impairment items. Each frequency item was scored on a scale from 0 = "Never or rarely" to 3 = "Very often".

The ADHD-RS-5 total score was calculated as the sum of the 18 frequency item scores. The total score ranges from 0 to 54. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Change from baseline value were calculated as the assessment value minus the baseline value.
Baseline to Visit 8 (Week 6)

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
Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI -I) Response
Time Frame: Visit 3 to Visit 8 (Week 6)

The CGI-I item is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 = "Very much improved", 2 = "Much improved", 3 = "Minimally improved", 4 = "No change", 5 = "Minimally worse", 6 = "Much worse", 7 = "Very much worse".

Response is defined as achieving a CGI-I score of 1 or 2, scores of 3 to 7 or missing are defined as Non Response
Visit 3 to Visit 8 (Week 6)
