About this study

Official title: Genetic Polymorphism of Drug Transporters in OROS-Methylphenidate Treatment in Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD)

The purpose of this study is to examine whether genetic polymorphisms in drug transporters were associated with the side effects of OROS-methylphenidate medication in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).

Read the detailed description

20 to 30% of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) do not respond or could not tolerate methylphenidate treatment. Drug transporters such as multidrug resistant proteins(MDR) plays important role in the clearance of psychotropic drugs and their metabolites from brain tissue. It suggested that methylphenidate was a P-glycoprotein(encoded by MDR1 gene)substrate and showed inhibitory effects on the P-glycoprotein efflux function. Single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)in the MDR1 gene were analyzed in children and adolescents with OROS-methylphenidate treatment. The hypothesis is that MDR1(ABCB1) polymorphisms are associated with the side effects of OROS-methylphenidate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing OROS-methylphenidate (Concerta) in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Bundang CHA Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 12 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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. 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?

Barkley side effects rating scale (time frame: weeks 1, 2,4,8). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2009.
