Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to extend the efficacy evidence of sustained release methylphenidate compound (JornayPM) in adults with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). JornayPM has recently been approved for treatment of patients 6 years and older with ADHD; the release mechanism is unique among ADHD products in that it is taken in the evening, with effects in the morning upon awakening and then throughout the subsequent day. Of note, to date, there is no clinical data as to the tolerability or clinical effects or dosing in adults with ADHD; therefore the primary aim of this trial is to gather the first set of these data.

Arms & Interventions
Seven weeks of Jornay PM treatment
Enrolled participants will begin with a two-week observation stabilization before starting treatment with Jornay PM. Participants found to have ≥30% change in their total Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) scores during the two-week observation stabilization period treatment will be discontinued from the study. Remaining participants will initiate a 7 week open-label treatment with Jornay PM.
Intervention: Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended Release Capsule
Five weeks of Jornay PM treatment
Enrolled participants will begin with a two-week observation stabilization before starting treatment with Jornay PM. Participants found to have ≥30% change in their total Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) scores during the two-week observation stabilization period treatment will be discontinued from the study. Remaining participants will initiate a 5 week open-label treatment with Jornay PM followed by a two week observation period; not receiving Jornay PM.
Intervention: Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended Release Capsule
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Expanded Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Score from Baseline to Week 3
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 3
The expanded AISRS is an 18-item questionnaire assessing symptoms of adult ADHD. Items are ranked on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 54; higher scores indicate more severe symptoms of ADHD.
Change in Expanded Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Score from Baseline to Week 10
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 10
The expanded AISRS is an 18-item questionnaire assessing symptoms of adult ADHD. Items are ranked on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 54; higher scores indicate more severe symptoms of ADHD.
