4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-3-ol: structure in first source
vitamin B6 : Any member of the group of pyridines that exhibit biological activity against vitamin B6 deficiency. Vitamin B6 deficiency is associated with microcytic anemia, electroencephalographic abnormalities, dermatitis with cheilosis (scaling on the lips and cracks at the corners of the mouth) and glossitis (swollen tongue), depression and confusion, and weakened immune function. Vitamin B6 consists of the vitamers pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine and their respective 5'-phosphate esters (and includes their corresponding ionized and salt forms).

"Metadoxine ER was generally well tolerated, with nausea (17% [10/58] vs 0% [0/59]), fatigue (31% [18/58] vs 27% [16/59]), and headaches (29% [17/58] vs 39% [23/59]) being the most frequently reported adverse effects for the metadoxine ER and placebo groups, respectively."2.77A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of extended-release metadoxine in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Trial Outcomes

Adult ADHD Quality of Life (AAQoL)- Measuring Change in Total Score of AAQoL From Visit 1 to Visit 6

The AAQoL scale provides a validated disease-specific measure of the impact of ADHD on quality of life.It is scored as an overall score (29 items) and four subscale scores: life productivity (11 items), psychological health (6 items), life outlook (7 items) and relationships (5 items). Individual items are scored on a five-point Likert-like scale from 'Not at all/Never' (1) to 'Extremely/Very Often' (5). (NCT01243242)
Timeframe: 6 weeks (from visit 1 baseline to visit 6)

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
METADOXINE(MG01CI)10.93
Placebo5.71

Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS™)

The primary efficacy endpoint is the difference in change (decrease) in CAARS (Total ADHD Symptoms Score) between the study groups. The CAARS assess the presence and severity of ADHD symptoms and behaviors in adults. Respondents are asked to report their own experiences by rating items pertaining to their behavior/problems using a 4-point Likert-style format ranging from 0 ('Not at all', 'never') to 3 ('Very much', 'very frequently'). The scale measures ADHD symptoms using a 30-item questionnaire.Total score is the sum of all the items ,min=30 Max=90 (NCT01243242)
Timeframe: 6 weeks (from visit 1 baseline to visit 6)

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
METADOXINE(MG01CI)-12
Placebo-8.93

Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) (Change in ADHD Score From Screening to Visit 6)

The TOVA is a computerized test that provides information about an individual's sustained attention, speed and consistency of responding, and behavioral self-regulation and executive functioning. ADHD score is a comparison of the subject's response to the CPT test to those of an ADHD group, and is reported as a Z-score. An ADHD score of -1.80 and less fits the profile of the ADHD sample. A score of more than -1.80 (more positive) does not fit the ADHD profile. When comparing ADHD scores the higher the ADHD score the better the performance. (NCT01243242)
Timeframe: 6 weeks( visit 1 baseline to visit 6)

InterventionZ score (Mean)
METADOXINE(MG01CI)4.96
