Abstract

Objective: This study evaluates dexmethylphenidate extended release (d-MPH-ER) in adults with ADHD. Method: Following a 5-week, randomized, controlled, fixed-dose study of d-MPH-ER 20 to 40 mg/d, 170 adults entered a 6-month open-label extension (OLE) to assess long-term safety, with flexible dosing of 20 to 40 mg/d. Exploratory effectiveness outcomes included change from Week 5 on ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) and proportion of responders on Clinical Global Impressions—Improvement (CGI-I) scale. Results: 103 patients completed OLE, and effectiveness was evaluable in 102 patients. d-MPH-ER was well tolerated; the most common adverse events (>15%) were headache, insomnia, and decreased appetite. Mean improvements in ADHD-RS score were −10.2 for patients switched from placebo to d-MPH-ER ( n = 20) and −8.4 for those maintained on d-MPH-ER ( n = 82). Respective CGI-I responder rates were 95.0% and 95.1%. Conclusion: Once-daily d-MPH-ER 20 to 40 mg is safe and effective for long-term treatment of adult ADHD. (J. of Att. Dis. 2009; 12(5) 449-459)

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.
