Comparison of Atomoxetine Plus Either Comparator or Placebo in Children With ADHD Who Haven't Responded to Stimulant Therapy

June 11, 2007 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Randomized, Double-Blind Comparison of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride Augmented With Either Extended-Release Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (Concerta-TM) or Placebo in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Who Have Not Responded to Stimulant Mono Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine alone versus atomoxetine plus low-dose, sustained-release MPH in children with treatment-resistant ADHD.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate in children aged 6 through 12 years with ADHD who have been identified as stimulant non-responders and have been exposed to acute treatment of atomoxetine.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by ECGs
Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by clinical laboratory tests
Assess the tolerability of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by spontaneously reported AEs
Compare the efficacy of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children
