Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at 6 Weeks

Change in the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-fourth edition (ADHD-RS-IV) total score from baseline. The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

InterventionUnits on a Scale (Mean)
SPD503-8.8
Placebo-5.5

Change From Baseline in Choice Reaction Time (CRT) at 6 Weeks

Choice reaction time (CRT) is a computerized assessment that trains the subject in holding down a press-pad and releasing the press-pad in response to stimuli presented on the screen. The task requires the subject to react as soon as a yellow dot appears in one of five locations, and the subject must respond by lifting their hand from the press-pad. This is the reaction time (RT) and ranges from 100 to 5000 msec. Lower scores indicate better performance. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

Interventionmsec (Mean)
SPD50320.7

Change From Baseline in Digital Symbol Substitution Task/Coding Test (DSST/Coding) Scores at 6 Weeks in Age Category 8-17 Years

The Digital Symbol Substitution Task/Coding Test (DSST/Coding) assesses relative contributions of speed, memory, and visual scanning. Subjects are required to copy symbols that are paired with simple geometric shapes or numbers within a specific time. Scores range from 0-65 in age category 6-7 years and 0-199 in age category 8-17 years. Higher scores indicate better performance. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

Change From Baseline in DSST/Coding Scores at 6 Weeks in Age Category 6-7 Years

The Digital Symbol Substitution Task/Coding Test (DSST/Coding) assesses relative contributions of speed, memory, and visual scanning. Subjects are required to copy symbols that are paired with simple geometric shapes or numbers within a specific time. Scores range from 0-65 in age category 6-7 years and 0-199 in age category 8-17 years. Higher scores indicate better performance. (NCT00150592)

Change From Baseline in Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) Scores at 6 Weeks

The Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) is an 8 question questionnaire scored on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (always). Total scores range from 0 to 32, with increasing score reflecting greater sleepiness. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

InterventionUnits on a Scale (Mean)
SPD503-1.3
Placebo0.9

Change From Baseline in Pictorial Sleepiness Scale (PSS) Scores at 6 Weeks

The Pictorial Sleepiness Scale (PSS) scores range from 1 (far left wide awake face) to 5 (far right very sleepy face). Increasing score reflects greater sleepiness. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

InterventionUnits on a Scale (Mean)
SPD5030.0
Placebo0.1

Number of Participants With Improvement in Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) at 6 Weeks

Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale. (NCT00150592)
Timeframe: 6 weeks

InterventionParticipants (Number)
SPD50367
Placebo20

Change From Baseline in Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Scores at 6 Weeks

"The Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Test is a computerized assessment of working memory and strategy performance. The subject is required to find blue tokens in various displayed boxes and use the tokens to fill a column on the right side of the screen. Subjects can only find tokens in new boxes, therefore they must remember where previous tokens were found. SWM scores including number of between errors, number of within errors, and number of double errors range 0-800 and SWM strategy scores range 8-56. Lower scores indicate better performance."
