Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to assess changes in symptomatology of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with extended-release dexmethylphenidate (d-MPHER) versus placebo in a laboratory classroom setting. Methods This double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study randomized 54 children 6-12 years of age, stabilized on methylphenidate 20-40 mg/day. Patients participated in a practice day, then received 5 days of treatment with d-MPH-ER 20 mg/day or placebo. After a 1-day wash-out, they returned to the classroom and received 1 dose of their assigned treatment. Evaluations occurred predose and at postdose hours 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Children were then crossed over to the alternate treatment, using identical protocol. Primary efficacy variable was the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham rating scale (SKAMP)-Combined scores, and primary analysis time point was 1 hour postdose; secondary efficacy variables over 12 hours included SKAMP-Attention and -Deportment scores and written math test results. Safety was assessed by adverse event (AE) recording following each period. Vital signs were recorded at each visit; laboratory tests were conducted at screening and final visit. Results D-MPH-ER 20 mg/day showed a significant advantage over placebo as early as 1 hour postdose on SKAMP-Combined scores (p Conclusions D-MPH-ER is safe and effective and improves classroom attention, deportment, and performance in children with ADHD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
