Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered as treatment-emergent (TEAE) if it had a start date and time on or after the dose of investigational product and no later than 72 hours after dosing, or if it had a start date and time before the date and time of the dose of investigational product, but increased in severity on or after the date and time of the dose of investigational product and no later than 72 hours after dosing.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (up to 9 days)

  2. Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Vital signs, Electrocardiogram (ECG), and Clinical Laboratory Tests

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Vital signs included blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. ECG was analysed as 12-lead ECG. Clinical laboratory test is considered for biochemistry, Hematology and Urinalysis.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (up to 9 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Suicidal Behavior and / or Ideation ("Yes" Response) on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    C-SSRS is a clinician rated assessment of suicidal behavior and / or intent categorized as: Suicidal behavior=a "yes" response to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide); Suicidal ideation=a "yes" response to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions which includes wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation (thought, thought with method, thought with intent, thought with plan and intent).

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SHP465 12.5mg and SHP465 25mg in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), run by Shire at 3 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 6 inclusion and 25 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 18 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Dextroamphetamine (d-amphetamine) in Plasma (time frame: Pre-dose, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post-dose). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
