What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Test whether atomoxetine is effective in reducing symptoms of inattention and overactivity/impulsivity as measured by the AHDHRS-IV-Parent:Inv scale in pediatric outpatients with ASD accompanied by ADHD behavior problems

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To assess whether atomoxetine will be effective in reducing symptoms of inattention and overactivity/impulsivity

  2. To assess whether atomoxetine will be effective for improving social functioning and personal sufficiency in children and adolescents with ASD+ADHD

  3. To assess whether atomoxetine has a positive or negative effect on frequently associated symptoms as impulsive aggression, agitation, self-injurious behavior, troublesome repetitive behavior and poor motor coordination

  4. To assess whether atomoxetine has a positive or negative effect on neuropsychological functioning

  5. To assess the overall influence on functioning and burden on the family

  6. To monitor clinical safety and side effects as assessed by adverse events elicited during open-ended questioning

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Test whether atomoxetine is effective in reducing symptoms of inattention and overactivity/impulsivity as measured by the AHDHRS-IV-Parent:Inv scale in pediatric outpatients with ASD accompanied by ADHD behavior problems. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?
