About this study

Official title: A Six-month, Open-label, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of PRC-063 in Adults and Adolescents With ADHD

The purpose of this six month, open-label study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of PRC-063 in adults and adolescents with ADHD.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, multicenter, phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PRC-063 (methylphenidate hydrochloride controlled-release capsules 25, 35, 45, 55, 70, 85 or 100 mg/day) in the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescent subjects aged ≥12 to <18 years of age and adult subjects aged ≥18 years of age. In order to participate, subjects must have completed Purdue Pharma Study 063-009 or Purdue Pharma Study 063-010. This study will be conducted at approximately 50 centers across the United States and Canada. After giving written informed consent (as well as informed assent for subjects <18 years of age), subjects will be screened to ascertain their suitability for the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There will be seven monthly efficacy and safety visits during which subjects will be assessed on active, open-label PRC-063. The starting dose will be at the discretion of the Investigator. Dose-adjustment visits may occur weekly to optimize the subject's dose via titration. For adolescent subjects, the maximum dose will be 85 mg/day. For adult subjects, the maximum dose will be 100 mg/day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Drug: PRC-063 and PRC-063 in people with ADHD, run by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals, L.P. at 35 sites in 2 countries.

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 0 inclusion and 13 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 8 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in United States, Canada. 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 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?

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?

occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: Within 6 months). 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 NCT02168127, which also lists 3 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 8 Jul 2015.
