- Any prescription or non-prescription ADHD medications during the 14 days (for stimulants) or 28 days (for non-stimulants and other psychotropics) prior to the screening visit

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in TOVA ADHD score from Screening/Baseline to 4 hours post-dose;
TOVA® is a computerized test that provides information about an individual's sustained attention, speed and consistency of responding, and behavioral self-regulation and executive functioning
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change in CANTAB sub-scores from baseline (Visit 2) to 4 hours post-dose;
The CANTAB is a computerized test assessing the key cognitive deficits present in ADHD. Sub-scores will include spatial working memory (SWM), stop signal task (SST), rapid visual information processing (RVP), and reaction time (RTI).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
study objectives are to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of MG01CI (1400 mg and 700 mg) to Placebo for the treatment of symptoms in adults diagnosed with PI-ADHD.
subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three treatment sequences as follows:
week 1:1400 mg, week 2:700 mg, week 3:placebo
week 1:700 mg,week 2: placebo,week 3:1400 mg
week 1: placebo, week2:1400 mg, week 3 700 mg
The study will consist of three periods: a screening period of up to one week, a 3-week double-blind treatment period, and a one-week safety follow-up period.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this dose finding study is to compare two doses of MG01CI (1400 mg and 700 mg) to Placebo, in adult subjects with PI-ADHD. A crossover study design will allow evaluation of safety/tolerability and efficacy using validated computerized tests.
subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three treatment sequences as follows:
week 1:1400 mg, week 2:700 mg, week 3:placebo
week 1:700 mg,week 2: placebo,week 3:1400 mg
week 1: placebo, week2:1400 mg, week 3 700 mg
