Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale - Parent Report (WFIRS-P) Global Score at Up to 9 WeeksBaseline and up to 9 weeks

The WFIRS-P is a 50-item scale with each item scored from 0 (never/not at all) to 3 (very often/very much). Mean scores range from 0 to 3. Higher scores indicate greater functional impairment.

Percent of Participants With Improvement on Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scores - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)9 weeks

Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.

Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)9 weeks

C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behaviour occurred. The assessment is done by the nature of the responses, not by a numbered scale.

Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser Side Effect Rating Scale - Clinician (UKU-SERS-Clin) With Side Effects Scores >=19 weeks

UKU-SERS-Clin is composed of 48 items each of which asks about a single side effect. Each side effect is rated based on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no or doubtful presence) to 3 (the least favorable rating). The rating is independent of whether the symptom is regarded as related to the investigational product.

Change From Baseline in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-Fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at 9 Weeks - LOCFBaseline and 9 weeks

ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54. A decrease in score indicates an improvement in ADHD symptomology.

Health Utilities Index-2 (HUI-2) Scores at Up to 9 Weeksup to 9 weeks

HUI is used to describe health status and to obtain utility scores by collecting data using one or more questionnaires in formats selected to match the specific study design criteria. Scoring ranges from 0.00 (dead) to 1.00 (perfect health). Higher scores represent better health status.

Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale for Children (BPRS-C) Total Score at Up to 9 WeeksBaseline and up to 9 weeks

The BPRS-C characterizes psychopathology. A total of 21 items are rated on a scale from 0 (not present) to 6 (extremely severe) with a total score ranging from 0 to 126. A decrease in score indicates a reduction in psychopathology.
