About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder focused on measuring ADHD, Methylphenidate, Amphetamine, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Treatment

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 55 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female adults ages 18-55
  • A diagnosis of DSM-V ADHD based on clinical assessment supported by the ADHD module of a structured diagnostic interview
  • Proficiency in English
  • Right-handed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any contraindication for the use of a stimulant medication
  • Investigator and his/her immediate family (spouse, parent, child, grandparent, or grandchild)
  • Any contraindications for MRI examination (metallic implants, such as pacemakers, surgical aneurysm clips, or known metal fragments in the body)
  • Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, as confirmed by a urine pregnancy test
  • Clinically significant abnormal baseline laboratory values, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure parameters above 140 and 90, respectively and resting heart rate outside 60-100 bpm

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Methylphenidate

Amphetamine

Arm Description

Adult subjects (ages 18-45) receiving a Methylphenidate derivative medication

Adult subjects (ages 18-45) receiving an Amphetamine derivative medication

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

ADHD Clinical Global Impressions Scale - Severity (CGI-S)
The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment.
ADHD Clinical Global Impressions Scale - Improvement (CGI-I)
The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Connectomic Variation Prediction of Medicine Response
Examine whether variation in baseline ADHD severity scores and functional connectivity and structural connectivity predict whether an individual ADHD patient will respond better to one of the other stimulant family treatment, both, or neither. An MRI will be completed prior to starting medication.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a 6-month trial in adults to find out if certain neuromarkers can predict individual treatment response to stimulant medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Males and females, ages 18-45, will complete an MRI scan at MIT prior to beginning medication for ADHD as determined by a treating clinician outside the context of this study.
