About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Methylphenidate Transdermal System (MTS) in Children Aged 6-12 Previously Treated With Extended-Release Methylphenidate Product.

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of MTS while attempting to establish the appropriate starting dose for subjects previously on an existing long-acting methylphenidate product.

Read the detailed description

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by 3 main symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This study will assess the safety and tolerability of SPD485 while attempting to establish the appropriate starting dose for subjects previously on an existing long-acting methylphenidate product.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Methylphenidate Transdermal System in people with Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity, run by Noven Therapeutics at 18 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Score on ADHD Rating Scale at 4 weeks (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00151983, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2015.
