Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in the Reaction Time (RTI) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) at Week 10
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. The RTI task of CANTAB involves elements of decision-making and attention as measured by choice accuracy as well as motor responses, by measuring motor and mental response speeds, and assesses movement time, reaction time, response accuracy, and impulsivity. This outcome measure will be assessed at Week 10 in both Part A and Part B of the study.
Change from Baseline in the Reaction Time (RTI) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) at Week 18
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. The RTI task of CANTAB involves elements of decision-making and attention as measured by choice accuracy as well as motor responses, by measuring motor and mental response speeds, and assesses movement time, reaction time, response accuracy, and impulsivity. This outcome measure will be assessed at Week 18 in Part A of the study.
Change From Baseline in the Reaction Time (RTI) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) at Week 49
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. The RTI task of CANTAB involves elements of decision-making and attention as measured by choice accuracy as well as motor responses, by measuring motor and mental response speeds, and assesses movement time, reaction time, response accuracy, and impulsivity. This outcome measure will be assessed at Week 49 in both Part A and Part B of the study.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) in Both Part A and Part B at Specified Time Points
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. Cognitive domain, sustained attention will be measured by the CANTAB RVP task. RVP measures the ability to sustain attention over time and is a sensitive measure of frontal-parietal function. In this task, single digits appear in a pseudo-random order at a rate of 100 digits per minute in a box at the center of the screen. Participants are to detect a 3-digit target sequence (e.g. 2-4-6) and respond by pressing a button at the bottom of the screen when the final number of the sequence appears on the screen.
Change From Baseline in the Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) in Both Part A and Part B at Specified Time Points
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments, SWM is a component of cognitive executive function which is measured by SWM task of CANTAB between the errors. The ability to retain spatial information and manipulate remembered items in working memory will be measured with the SWM task of CANTAB which is self-ordered and assesses the individual's ability to strategize heuristically. The test is a sensitive measure of frontal lobe and executive dysfunction.
Change From Baseline in the Stop Signal Task (SST) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) in Both Part A and Part B at Specified Time Points
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. Response control or inhibition cognitive domain will be measured by the CANTAB SST. SST measure response inhibition. The participant must respond to an arrow stimulus by touching either of 2 choices depending on the direction the arrow points. If an audio tone is present, the participant is not to respond.
Change From Baseline in the Delayed Matching to Sample (DMS) Task of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) in Both Part A and Part B at Specified Time Points
The neurocognitive function effects of TAK-503 on adolescents and children diagnosed with ADHD will be evaluated using the CANTAB cognitive assessments. Recognition memory of cognition domain will be measured by the CANTAB DMS task. DMS measures both simultaneous matching and short-term visual memory. The participant is shown a complex visual pattern (the sample) and after a brief delay, 4 similar patterns. The participant must identify the pattern that matches the sample.
Tanner Stage in Both Part A and Part B at Specified Time Points
Sexual maturation will be measured by Tanner stage. The stage of puberty or sexual maturation will be evaluated for each participant according to Tanner staging. The Tanner stage for genitals (male, stages I-V), breasts (females, stages I-V), and pubic hair (both sexes, stages I-V) will be documented at the specified times. Tanner staging will be self-assessed. Self-assessment in this study is defined as participants or parents indicating which drawing of the scale corresponds to participants sexual maturation stage at the time of the specific visit.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital signs, ECG, Physical Examination
Physical examinations will include height and weight. Growth will be measured by weight, height, and BMI. Body mass index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Vital signs will be assessed based on blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and body temperature in both Part A and Part B. The HR, PR interval, QRS interval, and QT interval will be measured from all ECGs and the QTcB and QTcF assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B of the study.
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An Adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE is defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an investigational product or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the investigational product or medicinal product. TEAEs include both serious and non-serious AEs.
Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale for Children (BPRS-C)
Psychiatric symptoms will be measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale for Children (BPRS-C) total score. The 21 items of the clinician-rated BPRS-C are grouped into the following 7 scales: depression, anxiety, psychomotor excitation, behavior problems, withdrawal, thinking disturbance, and organicity. Each item of the 21 items is clinician-graded using the following 7-point severity Likert-scale from 0 to 6 (not present=0; very mild=1; mild=2; moderate=3; moderately severe=4; severe=5; extremely severe=6. BPRS-C will be assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
Columbia- Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS)
The C-SSRS is a structured tool to assess suicidal ideation and behavior. A maximum of 19 items will be completed as follows: 7 items are required, a potential 10 additional items will be completed upon a positive response to a required item, and 2 items completed if suicide or suicide-like behavior is observed during the interview. The C-SSRS uses dichotomous scales (i e, yes or no), Likert scales, and text or narrative to further describe thoughts or behaviors. C-SSRS Score will be assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
Udvalg for Kliniske Undersøgelser (UKU) Side Effect Rating Scale
UKU rating scale was developed for clinicians to assess side effects of psychopharmacological medications based on interviews and other relevant source information. UKU items relevant to the established safety profile of TAK-503 such as Increased Duration of Sleep, Asthenia or Lassitude or lncreased Fatigability, Sleepiness or Sedation, and Orthostatic Dizziness. UKU rating scale will be assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS)
Sedative effects will be measured by participant ratings on the Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS). The PDSS is a self-reported assessment of daytime sleepiness in children aged 11 to 15 years. PDSS questionnaire was designed to be easy to administer, score, and interpret. Sleepiness-related questions are based on previous research of situations that can be sensitive to sleep loss in this age group. The 8 questions are scored on Likert-scale from 0 to 4 (never=0; seldom=1; sometimes=2; frequently=3; always=4). The total score on the PDSS can range from 0 (never sleepy) to 32 (always sleepy). PDSS will be assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
ADHD Rating Scale-5 (ADHD-RS-5) Total Score and Subscales
The ADHD-RS-5 (DuPaul et al., 2016) is used widely by mental health, educational, and medical practitioners in screening, diagnosis, and treatment evaluation to determine the frequency and severity of ADHD symptoms and impairments in children and adolescents. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms is measured by the investigator-administered ADHD Rating Scale-5 (ADHD-RS-5) total score and hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention symptoms as subscale scores. The ADHD-RS-5 is based on the diagnostic criteria for ADHD as described in the DSM-5 and consists of 2 symptom subscales, inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, each with 9 items and a total scale of 18 items. Each item in the subscale is scored with a value ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms). The total score can range from 0 to 54. ADHD-RS-5 Total Score and Subscales wiil be assessed at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I)
Global clinical measurement of ADHD improvement as measured by Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) using the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) to establish baseline. The CGI scale will be used to evaluate the severity of mental illness over time. The CGI-S will be administered to assess the severity of mental illness at baseline. The CGI-S is scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). The CGI-I is also scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). CGI-I will be measured at specified time points in both Part A and Part B.
Child Health and Illness Profile - Child Edition: Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE:PRF)
The Parent Report Form of the Child Health and Illness Profile - Child Edition (CHIP-CE:PRF) will be administered to provide information on self-esteem and school functioning in pediatric participants diagnosed with ADHD. The 5 domains and 12 subdomains covered in the 76 items comprising the CHIP-CE:PRF. Satisfaction: with health (7 items) and self (4 items); Comfort: physical (9 items) and emotional symptoms (9 items) and activity restrictions (4 items) due to illness; Resilience: behaviors and family involvement (8 items) in activities likely to enhance health, Social problem-solving (5 items),Physical activity (6 items); Risk avoidance: behaviors that if not avoided are likely to pose risks to health: Individual risk avoidance (4 items), Threats to achievement (10 items); Achievement: developmentally appropriate role functioning in school and with peers: Academic performance (5 items), Peer relations (5 items). CHIP-CE: PRF will be assessed in both Part A and Part B.
Conners 3 Parent Short Form (C3PS) Total Score
The Conners 3 is a focused diagnostic tool for the assessment of ADHD and associated learning, behavior, and emotional problems in children 6 to 18 years of age. The C3PS is completed by a child's parent/guardian and is comprised of 45 items with subsets of items related to six content scales: inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, executive functioning, learning problems, defiance/aggression and peer relations. The parent rates his/her child on the first 43 items of the C3PS using a 4-point Likert scale (0-3; where 0=not at all true [never, seldom] and 3=very much true [very often, very frequently]) based on past month; the last 2 items are fill-in-the-blank and do not contribute to the raw score(s). Raw scores are converted to T-scores. Lower change from baseline T-scores (<0) represent a better outcome. C3PS Total score will be assessed in both Part A and Part B.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main aim of this study is learn more about long-term treatment of children and teenagers with ADHD for whom earlier stimulant therapy did not work. The study has two parts (A and B). In Part A, participants will take tablets of TAK-503, atomoxetine or placebo. Participants who take placebo tablets in Part A, will take TAK-503 tablets in Part B. Participants who take TAK-503 or atomoxetine tablets in Part A, will be treated with TAK-503 in Part B.
Detailed Description
This study will be conducted in two parts Part A and Part B. Part A is a double-blinded, double-dummy, placebo-controlled study with an atomoxetine arm as an active reference to TAK-503. Eligible participants with ADHD will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio among TAK-503, atomoxetine, and placebo treatment arms for the first 18 weeks of double-blinded treatment. At the end of the first 18 weeks, participants in the placebo treatment arm will rollover to Part B of the study directly for an additional 52 weeks of open-label TAK-503 treatment. Participants in the TAK-503 and atomoxetine treatment arms will continue in Part A at the same optimized dose for the remainder of the 52 weeks. At the end of 52 weeks of double-blinded treatment and evaluation in Part A, participants in the TAK-503 and atomoxetine treatment arms will rollover into Part B of the study for an additional 1 year of open-label TAK-503 treatment. 26 JUNE 2020: The temporary enrollment stop of new participants into this study due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been lifted in one or more countries/sites, and the study is now again enrolling new participants. However, some countries/sites may still have paused the enrollment of new participants due to the pandemic. 20 APRIL 2020: Enrollment of new participants into this study has been paused due to the COVID-19 situation. The duration of this pause is dependent on the leveling and control of the COVID-19 pandemic.
