About this study

Official title: Study of the Effect of Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate) on Sleep in Children Aged 6-12 Years With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

This study involves research to test how Vyvanse (study drug) affects sleep in 24 children aged 6 to 12 years who have ADHD. Vyvanse is approved by the FDA for the treatment ADHD of in children aged 6 to 12 years. The experimental part of this study is to determine how Vyvanse affects sleep.

Read the detailed description

Treatment with psychostimulants has been associated with sleep disturbances, including both sleep onset and maintenance problems, in children with ADHD. This analysis evaluated the effect of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) on sleep in children with ADHD.

This single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial enrolled children aged 6-12 years with a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of ADHD. The study included a screening period, 1-week washout, 3-week open-label LDX dose optimization phase, and a 4-week double-blind treatment phase in which subjects were randomized to placebo or active LDX treatment at 30, 50, or 70 mg/d. Polysomnograph and actigraph measures as well as assessments of subjective sleep parameters were performed in all subjects prior to treatment and reassessed after treatment with either LDX or placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS) as measured by polysomnography (PSG)

    Measured: performed at Baseline (Visit 2), after the subject has met all other inclusion/exclusion criteria, and at Week 7 or Early Termination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PSG sleep parameters: Wake time After Sleep Onset (WASO), Number of Awakenings After Sleep Onset (NAASO), and Total Sleep Time (TST)

    Measured: within four days prior to Baseline (Visit 2), after the subject has met all other inclusion/exclusion criteria and Week 7 or Early Termination (Visit 9)

  2. Actigraphic measures of sleep characteristics (LPS, TST)

    Measured: during the week immediately preceding the following study visits: Visit 2 (Baseline), Visit 5 (Week 3), and Visit 9 (Week 7)

  3. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire item scores

    Measured: performed at Visits 2 through 9

  4. Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Severity and Global Improvement item scores

    Measured: each weekly visit

  5. Conner's Parent Rating Scale - Revised (S) completed by parent/caregiver and Investigator-rated ADHD-RS-IV item scores

    Measured: Visits 2 through 9

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?

Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS) as measured by polysomnography (PSG) (time frame: performed at Baseline (Visit 2), after the subject has met all other inclusion/exclusion criteria, and at Week 7 or Early Termination). 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.
