  • Males or females who are at least 6 years old and no more than 12 years old prior to visit 2
  • Patients must be able to swallow capsules
  • Patients must be of normal intelligence in the judgment of the investigator. Normal intelligence is defined as being without evidence of significant general intellectual deficit and expected to achieve a score of 70 or more if formal IQ testing were administered.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Continuous Symptom Treatment of ADHD: A Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Assessment of Morning-Dosed or Evening-Dosed Strattera

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered orally, once a day, at doses up to 1.4 mg/kg/day for approximately 6 weeks given in the morning is superior to placebo in children with ADHD.

Being tested
Atomoxetine Hydrochloride, Placebo
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered orally, once a day, at doses up to 1.4 mg/kg/day for approximately 6 weeks given in the morning is superior to placebo in children with ADHD

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the evening provides superior efficacy compared with placebo in children with ADHD

  2. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the morning provides superior efficacy in the evenings compared with placebo in children with ADHD

  3. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the morning provides superior efficacy in the mornings (before daily dosing, i.e., nearly 24 hrs since last dosing) compared with placebo in children with ADHD based on the CGIP-M

  4. To assess the effect of dosing atomoxetine in the morning versus placebo on measures of executive functioning

  5. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the morning provides superior efficacy compared with placebo for measures of adaptive functioning in children with ADHD

  6. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the evening provides superior efficacy in the evenings (before daily dosing, i.e., nearly 24 hrs since last dosing) compared with placebo in children with ADHD

  7. Test the hypothesis that atomoxetine administered once daily in the morning provides superior efficacy in the mornings (before daily dosing, i.e., nearly 24 hrs since last dosing) compared with placebo in children with ADHD

  8. To examine the onset of action during the first week of treatment in the morning versus in the evening versus placebo

  9. To assess the effect of dosing atomoxetine in the evening versus placebo on measures of executive functioning

  10. To compare morning versus evening dosing versus placebo as assessed by the CGI-ADHD-S

  11. To assess the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine dosed in the morning versus in the evening versus placebo
