Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Baseline (following ADHD medication washout of 7-28 days)]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 1]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 2]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 3]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 4]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 5]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
- The primary measure of efficacy will be the clinician-administered ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS-IV) [Week 6]
The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items designed to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to three (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Clinical Global Impression of Improvement scale (CG(-I) - assessed at visits 1 through 6/Early Termination (ET) [Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6]
- Brown ADD Scale (BADDS) - completed at Baseline and 6/ET visits [Baseline visit and weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6]
- Adult ADHD Impact Module (AIM-A)-completed at Baseline and 6/ET visits. [Baseline visit and weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6]
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) - taken at every visit from Baseline to study completion. [Baseline visit and weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6]
