简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single administration of Metadoxine Extended Release (MDX) formulation for the treatment of adolescents diagnosed with ADHD that have predominantly inattentive symptoms. The study will also try to evaluate the efficacy of MDX and its level in the blood.
详细描述
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center, fixed dose, single dose study in adolescent subjects with PI-ADHD. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive single administration of either MDX (approximately 14-22 mg/kg) or matching placebo.
Subjects taking a course of methylphenidate, amphetamine or atomoxetine at least two weeks prior to screening will require a 2-week wash-out (for methylphenidate, amphetamine) or a 4-week wash-out (for atomoxetine) and be requested to attend an interim screening visit.
The study will consist of three periods: a screening period of up to three weeks (and five in the case of atomoxetine washout), a 1 day treatment period, and a one-week safety follow-up period.
Overview of Study Visits Screening Period - Visit 1 (Screening/Baseline) Following signing of informed consent/assent, subjects will be screened for study eligibility. Each subject will undergo a battery of evaluations with various rating scales including Adolescent ADHD Clinical Diagnostic Scale1 (ACDS v1.2), Kiddie - Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia - Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), Columbia-Suicide Severity rating scale (C-SSRS), State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-A and STAI-T), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), CGI-S (Clinical Global Impression - Severity), Time-Sensitive ADHD Symptom Scale (TASS), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- fourth edition (WISC-IV) sub-tests2 and Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA)3. Eligible subjects who did not require a wash-out, will be eligible for the study. In addition, the following standard assessments will be performed: assessment of inclusion/exclusion, collection of demographic data, medical history, prior medications, neurological exam, neuropathy questionnaire, physical exam, height and weight, vital signs, ECG, laboratory evaluations including hematology (complete blood count, CBC), chemistry, plasma concentration of metadoxine, urinalysis, and serum pregnancy test for women of child bearing potential. The screening visit may be conducted over multiple days. Screening visit data will be considered baseline data for statistical analysis purposes for subject requiring no washout.
Visit 1a (Interim screening visit) This visit is applicable to subjects taking medications or supplements requiring washout such as methylphenidate, amphetamine or atomoxetine at any time during the 2 weeks preceding Visit 1 (screening); these subjects will undergo a 2-week washout (for cases such as methylphenidate or amphetamine treatment) or a 4-week washout (for cases such as atomoxetine treatment) period after which they will attend an interim screening visit. Baseline TOVA, WISC-IV sub-tests1, and TASS will be performed at Visit 1a. In addition, the C-SSRS, adverse events, and concomitant medications will be recorded at this visit.

Females of childbearing potential are defined as women who are between menarche and 2 years post-menopause and who are not surgically sterilized. Males and Female subjects who are not sexually active, and who agree to be abstinent throughout the study, will not be required to use birth control.

排除标准
- •Subject has any psychiatric condition (e.g., schizophrenia or personality disorder as diagnosed by DSM-V) or clinically significant or unstable medical or surgical condition that may preclude safe and complete study participation as determined by the investigator using medical history, physical examination, neurological examination, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms. Common diseases such as mild hypertension, well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A1C <6.5%), etc, are allowed per the investigator's judgment as long as they are stable and controlled by medical therapy that is constant for at least 8 weeks before randomization and subsequently throughout the study. If there are any concerns about the suitability of the subject's medical or surgical condition, the investigator should review the subject's history with the medical monitor.
