  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Mean Systolic Blood Pressure at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Systolic Blood pressure was measured at supine and standing position and mean supine systolic blood pressure was reported here. Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication [Visit 19/Early Termination (ET)/Day 714].

    2. Change From Baseline in Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Diastolic Blood pressure was measured at supine and standing position and mean supine diastolic blood pressure was reported here. Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    3. Change From Baseline in Mean Supine Pulse at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Pulse was measured at supine and standing position and mean supine pulse was reported here. Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    4. Change From Baseline in Mean Height at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    5. Change From Baseline in Mean Weight at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    6. Change From Baseline in Electrocardiogram Result (QRS Interval) at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    7. Change From Baseline in Electrocardiogram Result (QT Interval) at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    8. Number of Participants With Suicidal Behavior and / or Ideation ("Yes" Response) on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      C-SSRS is a clinician rated assessment of suicidal behavior and / or intent categorized as: Suicidal behavior=a "yes" response to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide); Suicidal ideation=a "yes" response to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions which includes wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation (thought, thought with method, thought with intent, thought with plan and intent).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Attention-deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) - Total Score at Final Assessment [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      ADHD-RS-IV was developed to measure the behaviours of children with ADHD with 18 items. Each item is scored from a range of 0 (reflecting no symptoms) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items may be grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17) with possible score range from 0 (no symptoms) to 27 (most severe symptoms). The ADHD-RS-IV possible total scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 54 (most severe symptoms). Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    2. Number of Participants Assessed With Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Scale [Baseline (Day 0) and Final Assessment (last non missing data/up to Day 714)]

      The CGI-S evaluate each participant's severity and improvement over time. The severity of a participant's condition is rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 to 7. The scale measures 0 = Not assessed, 1 = Normal, not at all ill, 2 = Borderline mentally ill (BL-MI), 3 = Mildly ill, 4 = Moderately ill, 5 = Markedly ill, 6 = Severely ill, 7 = Among the most extremely ill participant. Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    6 Years to 17 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    1. Subjects where Study SPD503-318 was not available at the time of their final visit in the antecedent study (SPD503-315 or SPD503-316), may still be screened unless they are well-controlled on another ADHD medication with acceptable tolerability and the parent/caregiver is satisfied with their current ADHD medication.

    2. Subject satisfied all entry criteria for the antecedent study (SPD503 315 or SPD503-316).

    3. Subject who is a female of child-bearing potential (FOCP), defined as >9 years of age or <9 years of age and is post-menarchal, must have a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test at the Baseline Visit (Visit 2) and agree to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol.

    4. Subject's parent or legally authorised representative (LAR) must provide signature of informed consent, and there must be documentation of assent (if applicable) by the subject indicating that the subject is aware of the investigational nature of the study and the required procedures and restrictions in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guideline E6 and applicable regulations, before completing any study-related procedures.

    5. Subject and parent/LAR are willing, able, and likely to fully comply with all the testing and requirements defined in this protocol, including oversight of dosing. Specifically, the parent/LAR must be available upon awakening, to dispense the dose of investigational product for the duration of the study.

    9. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Attention-deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) - Total Score at Final Assessment
    Description ADHD-RS-IV was developed to measure the behaviours of children with ADHD with 18 items. Each item is scored from a range of 0 (reflecting no symptoms) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items may be grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17) with possible score range from 0 (no symptoms) to 27 (most severe symptoms). The ADHD-RS-IV possible total scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 54 (most severe symptoms). Final Assessment is the last valid assessment obtained after Baseline (Visit 2/Day 0) whilst on investigational product and before first dose taper medication (Visit 19/ET/Day 714).
