What participants receive

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

  • NT0102Drug

    NT0102 (methylphenidate polistirex [MPP] extended release [XR] ODT) was given once daily at a dose equivalent to 20-60 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Matching ODT placebo was given once daily.

Study groups in NCT01835548
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NT0102ExperimentalAfter the screening/washout period, all participants will receive study drug NT0102 once daily for 4 weeks during the dose optimization period. After completion of the dose optimization period, the optimized dose of the study drug will be selected, and participants will stay on that dose for 1 week (dose stabilization period). At the end of this period, participants will be randomized to a treatment. Participants in this arm will be given 20-60 mg of NT0102 as oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) once daily for one week during the double-blind treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Score

    The primary efficacy endpoint was derived from the SKAMP-Combined score calculated as the total score of all 13 items of the SKAMP-Combined score. The SKAMP-Combined score was obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for a total possible score of 0 to 78. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e., is better). The SKAMP was a rating scale that specifically measures the classroom manifestations of ADHD. The SKAMP ratings were completed for all subjects at baseline (pre-dose) and at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, and 13 hours post-dose on the classroom testing day (Visit 8). The primary analysis time point for the primary efficacy endpoint was the average of all post-dose SKAMP scores during the 13-hour period.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42)

Secondary outcomes (7)

  1. Onset of Effect

    Onset of effect was defined as the first time point at which NT0102 separates from placebo on SKAMP-Combined scores. A separation was defined as a statistically significant difference at the 5% level of active drug over placebo. Data was collected separately for NT0102 and Placebo arms and is reported as a comparison analysis of the two arms. This assessment was collected on the full classroom day, Visit 8.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h

  2. Duration of Effect

    Duration of effect was defined as the last time point at which NT0102 separates from placebo on SKAMP-Combined scores. A separation was defined as a statistically significant difference at the 5% level of active drug over placebo. Data was collected separately for NT0102 and Placebo arms, and is reported as a comparison analysis of the two arms. This assessment was collected on the full classroom day, Visit 8.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42) at 1 hour (h), 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, 12 h and 13 h

  3. The Average of the SKAMP-Attention Scores

    The SKAMP Rating Scale was comprised of 2 behavioral subscales, including the "Attention" subscale (4 items). The SKAMP-Attention subscore evaluates concentration in the classroom and is obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for total possible combined score of 0 to 24. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e. is better). The SKAMP-Attention subscores were derived from 20 minutes of direct observations of participant behavior. Ratings were based on the frequency and quality of behaviors.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42)

  4. The Average of the SKAMP-Deportment Scores

    The SKAMP Rating Scale is comprised of 2 behavioural subscales, including the "Deportment" subscale (4 items). The SKAMP-Deportment subscore evaluates behaviour in the classroom and is obtained by summing up each item score where each item is rated on a 7-point impairment scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment) for total possible combined score of 0 to 24. A lower score indicates less symptomatology (i.e. is better). The SKAMP-Attention subscores were derived from 20 minutes of direct observations of participant behaviour. Ratings were based on the frequency and quality of behaviours.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42)

  5. The Average of the Permanent Product Measure of Performance - Attempted (PERMP-A) Score

    The PERMP consisted of 400 math problems and was graded as number of problems "Attempted" (PERMP-A) and number of problems "Correct." (PERMP-C). It was an objective measure of performance during the classroom testing day.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42)

  6. The Average of the Permanent Product Measure of Performance - Correct (PERMP-C) Score

    The PERMP consisted of 400 math problems and was graded as number of problems "Attempted" (PERMP-A) and number of problems "Correct." (PERMP-C). It was an objective measure of performance during the classroom testing day.

    Measured: Visit 8 (Day 42)

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    Measured: Visit 9 (Day 43)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NT0102 in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), run by Neos Therapeutics, Inc at 4 sites in United States.

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 1 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 17 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Score (time frame: Visit 8 (Day 42)). 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 NCT01835548, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Jan 2018.
