Methods:
treatment-emergent adverse, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
In this study, a 5-week, open-label dose-optimization period (DOP) preceded a 2-week, randomized, crossover double-blind treatment period (DBP). Eligible patients received d-ATS 5 mg during the DOP, with weekly evaluations for increase to 10, 15, and 20 mg (equivalent to labeled doses of 4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18 mg/9 hours, respectively) until reaching and maintaining the optimal dose, which was utilized for the DBP. Secondary endpoints included assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale IV (ADHD-RS-IV), Conners' Parent Rating Scale Revised Short Form (CPRS-R:S), and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scores. NNT was calculated for ADHD-RS-IV and CGI-Improvement (CGI-I). Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and dermal safety.
