Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in the Adult Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-4 (ADHD-RS) With Prompts Total Score at Visit 6 (Week 4)
The ADHD-RS was developed to measure the behaviors of children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The adult ADHD-RS with prompts consists of 18 items designated to reflect current symptomatology of ADHD based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms), with the total score for the rating scale ranging from 0 to 54. Higher score = more severe symptoms.The scale is subdivided into 2 subscales of 9 symptoms each: hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness. Adult prompts are included with the ADHD-RS to create a semistructured measurement that allows the clinician to probe the extent, frequency, breadth, severity, and consequences of these symptoms to ascertain impairment in an adult population.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Visit 6 (Week 4)
CGI scales permit a global evaluation of the participant's severity and improvement over time. CGI-I was performed to rate the severity of a participant's condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants).
