What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lis-dexamphetamineDrug

    Also called Vyvanse, LDX

    Eligible subjects will be dispensed open label LDX (VyvanseTM). All subjects will start at 20 mg once a day dose and will be titrated up weekly by 10 mg increments up to a maximum dose of 70 mg. If a subject experiences intolerable side effects at a particular dose, a step down to the next tolerated level is allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pre and Post Study Fasting Blood Sugar and Two Hour Post Prandial.

    The study was terminated due to lack of enrollment therefore outcome measures were not assessed. If completed, the expected outcomes would have shown an improvement of the subject's fasting and 2 hour post prandial glucose values, insulin levels and HbA1c. However, all of the subjects recruited did not have abnormal values to start with. The two subjects who were enrolled were the younger kids to which the entry lab criteria do not apply.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pre and Post Study Fasting Blood Sugar and Two Hour Post Prandial. (time frame: Baseline to end of study). 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?
