- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total Score at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 AISRS: an 18-item scale administered by the investigator. It included 9 items that evaluated symptoms of inattention and 9 items that evaluated symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). AISRS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) Total Score at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 HAM-A is a clinician-rated 14 item scale that provides an overall measure of global anxiety, including psychic (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic (physical complaints related to anxiety) symptoms. Each item was scored on a scale ranging from 0 (not present) to 4 (very severe) with a total score range of 0 to 56, where higher score indicates greater anxiety.
Change From Baseline in Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total Score at Week 1 and 2 Baseline, Week 1, 2 AISRS: an 18-item scale administered by the investigator. It included 9 items that evaluated symptoms of inattention and 9 items that evaluated symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). AISRS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD.
Percentage of Participants With 1 or 2 Score on Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S) Week 1, 2, 3 CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher score = more affected. Participants with a score of 1 (normal - not ill at all) or 2 (borderline mentally ill) are reported.
Percentage of Participants With Less Than or Equal to 18 Score on Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Week 1, 2, 3 AISRS: an 18-item scale administered by the investigator. It included 9 items that evaluated symptoms of inattention and 9 items that evaluated symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). AISRS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD.
Change From Baseline in Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Subscale Scores at Week 1, 2 and 3 Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3 AISRS: an 18-item scale administered by the investigator. It included 9 items that evaluated symptoms of inattention and 9 items that evaluated symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The AISRS inattention and hyperactive/impulsive total subscale score range from 0 to 27. A higher total subscale score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Change From Baseline in Time-Sensitive ADHD Symptom Scale (TASS) Total Score on Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 21 Baseline, Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 21 TASS: a time sensitive 18-item questionnaire completed by the participant that measured the severity of current ADHD symptoms. It included 9 items that evaluate symptoms of inattention sub-scale and 9 items that evaluate symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity sub-scale. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). TASS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher total score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD. TASS was administered each day from Day 1 to 14 and on Day 21 in each intervention period.
Change From Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 The MADRS scale measures the depression level of a participant. It is administered as a semi-structured clinician interview. The total score is derived by adding the scores of the following 10 items: (1) Apparent sadness; (2) Reported sadness; (3) Inner tension; (4) Reduced sleep; (5) Reduced appetite; (6) Concentration difficulties; (7) Lassitude; (8) Inability to feel; (9) Pessimistic thoughts; (10) Suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored using a 6-point scale which ranges from 0 to 6 (a higher score indicates increased severity). The total score range was 0 to 60 where 0 indicates no depression and 60 indicates severely depressed.
Change From Baseline in Adult ADHD Quality of Life Scale (AAQOL) Subscale Score at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 AAQoL is a 29-item questionnaire consisting of 4 subscales: life productivity (11 items), psychological health (\[PH\] 6 items), life outlook (7 items) and relationships (5 items). Participants rated each item on a scale ranging from 1 (not at all/never) to 5 (extremely/very often). The scores of each item were then transformed to a 0 to 100 point scale, higher scores indicating better quality of life. The score for each subscale was calculated as the sum of the corresponding item scores. Total score ranges were: life productivity (0 to 1100), psychological health (0 to 600), life outlook (0 to 700) and relationships (0 to 500), where higher subscale score indicates better quality of life for each subscale.
Percentage of Participants With at Least 30 Percent Decrease From Baseline in Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total Score Week 1, 2, 3 AISRS: an 18-item scale administered by the investigator. It included 9 items that evaluated symptoms of inattention and 9 items that evaluated symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). AISRS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher score corresponded to a worse severity of ADHD.
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Response of at Least 30 Percent Decrease From Baseline in Time-Sensitive ADHD Symptom Scale (TASS) Total Score Day 7, 14, 21 TASS: a time sensitive 18-item questionnaire completed by the participant that measured the severity of current ADHD symptoms. It included 9 items that evaluate symptoms of inattention sub-scale and 9 items that evaluate symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity sub-scale. Each item was rated from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). TASS total score was calculated as sum of all the items on the scale and ranged from 0 to 54. A higher total score corresponds to a worse severity of ADHD. TASS was administered each day from Day 1 to 14 and on Day 21 in each intervention period. Participants with sustained response were those who had at least 30 percent decrease from baseline in TASS total score, which was maintained at all visits up to the time of assessment. Sustained responders at Day 7, 14 and 21 were analyzed.
Change From Baseline in ADHD Impact Module - Adults (AIM-A) Subscale Score at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 AIM-A: 66 item questionnaire completed by the participant to assess the impact of ADHD on the participant's quality of life. It is comprised of 4 global quality of life (QoL) items (current quality of life item \[CQoLI\], range:1 to 10; global limitation item \[GLI\]: range:1 to 4, on the right track item \[RTI\], range:1 to 3, more good days \[GD\] than bad days \[BD\], range:1 to 5, higher scores indicate a better QoL for all the 4 QoL items) and 6 multi-item subscales (living with ADHD, general well-being, performance and daily functioning \[PDF\], relationships and communication \[R/C\], Impact of symptoms-bother/concern \[IS-B/C\] scale, and impact of symptoms-interference \[IS-I\] scale). Participants responded to each item of multi-item subscale using a likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). Multi-item subscale scores were calculated as an average of scores for the contributing items and transformed into 0 to 100 score where higher scores indicate a better QoL.
Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Subscale Scores at Week 3 Baseline, Week 3 SDS was a participant-rated questionnaire assessing the effect of the participant's symptoms on the 3 domains/subscales: work/school, social life/leisure activities, and family/home management. Each domain was rated on visual analog scale ranges from 0 to 10 where 0=not at all impaired and 10=extremely impaired, and total SDS score was calculated as a sum of all the domains with a score range of 0=not at all impaired to 30=extremely impaired. Disability scores were reported for each of the domains/subscales. Higher scores reflect greater impairment.
