Abstract

Objective: This study evaluates the efficacy, duration of action, and tolerability of methylphenidate transdermal system (MTS) in children with ADHD. Method: Participants were dose optimized over 5 weeks utilizing patch doses of 10, 16, 20, and 27 mg applied in the morning and worn for 9 hours. Following optimization, 80 participants were randomized to 1 week of MTS or placebo followed by 1 week of the opposite treatment. Laboratory classroom sessions conducted after each randomized week included blinded ratings of attention, behavior, and academic performance. Results: MTS was well tolerated and displayed significant improvement compared with placebo. Improvements were seen at the first postdose time point measured and continued through 12 hours. Conclusions: Treatment with MTS resulted in statistically significant improvements on all efficacy measures. Time course and therapeutic effects of MTS suggest that this novel methylphenidate delivery system is an efficacious once-daily treatment for 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.
