What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To test that atomoxetine is superior to placebo in reducing ADHD severity as measured by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total score and is superior to placebo in time to relapse of alcohol abuse at 12 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (16)
Total alcohol consumption (mean drinks/day) during the final week of treatment is lower in patients treated with atomoxetine than in patients receiving placebo.
The proportion of drinking days is smaller for atomoxetine-treated patients compared with those in the placebo group.
Time to relapse of alcohol abuse is longer for atomoxetine-treated patients compared with those in the placebo group.
Number of drinks per drinking day is smaller for patients treated with atomoxetine compared with placebo.
The proportion of substance use days, for substances other than alcohol, is smaller among patients treated with atomoxetine as compared with placebo.
After approximately 12 weeks of treatment, patients who receive atomoxetine will have superior social and occupational functioning compared with those who receive placebo as assessed by changes in the EWPS.
Global functioning as assessed by the CGI-Overall-S and the CGI-I are superior in patients treated with atomoxetine as compared with those treated with placebo.
