Abstract

Background and objective Data on pharmacokinetic parameters of the prodrug stimulant lisdexamfetamine dimesylate via alternate routes of administration are limited. The pharmacokinetics of d-amphetamine derived from lisdexamfetamine dimesylate after single oral (PO) versus intranasal (IN) administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate were compared. Methods In this randomized, two-period, crossover study, healthy men without a history of substance abuse were administered single PO or IN (radiolabelled with ≤100 μCi (99m)Tc-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid and confirmed by scintigraphy) lisdexamfetamine dimesylate 50 mg ≥7 days apart. Serial blood samples were drawn to measure d-amphetamine and intact lisdexamfetamine at 0 (pre-dose), 15, 30 and 45 minutes and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose for PO administration and at 0 (pre-dose), 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose for IN administration. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed. Results Eighteen subjects were enrolled and completed the study. The mean ± SD maximum observed plasma concentration (C(max)) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration (AUC(last)) of d-amphetamine following PO administration of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate were 37.6 ± 4.54 ng/mL and 719.1 ± 157.05 ng · h/mL, respectively; after IN administration, these parameters we…

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • LDX was associated with predictable but modest increases in pulse and heart rate (both P < .05), beginning at week 2 and persisting through week 4, with no meaningful effects on ECG parameters such as PR, PP, and QT intervals.

    “Although LDX was associated with predictable but modest increases in pulse and heart rate (both, P < .05), beginning at week 2 and persisting through week 4, no meaningful effects on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters such as PR, PP, and QT intervals were noted.”
  • In Adler et al safety data on cardiovascular parameters in 420 medically healthy adults with ADHD, no significant differences for mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure in any LDX dose group versus placebo were noted.

    “Safety data from the study by Adler et al49 of LDX on cardiovascular parameters in 420 medically healthy adults with ADHD were analyzed, and no significant differences for mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure in any LDX dose group vs placebo were noted.”
  • Oral and intranasal administration of lisdexamfetamine in healthy adult volunteers showed similar Cmax, area under the curve, and time to reach maximal concentration, with low intersubject variability and similar tolerability rates for both routes.

    “Oral and intranasal administration of lisdexamfetamine in healthy adult volunteers showed a similar Cmax, area under the curve, and time to reach maximal concentration, with low intersubject variability and similar tolerability rates for both routes of administration.16”

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.
