What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the duration of efficacy of SPD465 compared to placebo and immediate release amphetamine formulation in adults with ADHD using the Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) math test

    Measured: -0.5, 2, 4, 8, 12, 14 and 18 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess the duration of efficacy of SPD465 compared with placebo and immediate release amphetamine on ADHD symptoms as determined by the ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS)

    Measured: 5, 10 and 15 hours post-dose

  2. To assess the duration of efficacy of SPD465 compared with placebo and immediate release amphetamine on ADHD symptoms as determined by the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M. Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) scale

    Measured: 5, 10, and 15 hours post-dose

  3. To assess the impact of SPD465 compared with placebo and immediate release amphetamine on sleep as measured by the modified Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    Measured: 21 days

  4. To evaluate the safety of SPD465 based on occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), blood pressure (BP), heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory findings

    Measured: 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SPD465 and Immediate Release Amphetamine Salt in people with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, run by Shire.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 3 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

To assess the duration of efficacy of SPD465 compared to placebo and immediate release amphetamine formulation in adults with ADHD using the Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) math test (time frame: -0.5, 2, 4, 8, 12, 14 and 18 hours post-dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00928148, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jun 2021.
