Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

A single arm, open-label, phase 3 multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of atomoxetine (given once daily, target dose 1.2 mg/kg/day), as perceived by patients, parents and physicians, and its impact on quality of sleep in children (aged 6 through 11 years) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder treated as outpatients in Germany. An 8-week treatment phase is followed by a 16-week extension period.

To test the hypothesis that children/adolescents with ADHD, who are treated with atomoxetine hydrochloride in comparison to standard current therapies have greater improvements in their quality of life.

The purpose of this trial is to test the effectiveness of atomoxetine in treating symptoms of ODD in children with ADHD and ODD.

To learn about the safety and any side effects of atomoxetine when given to children and adolescents for about 5 years (long-term) and to learn whether atomoxetine can help children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who take the drug for about 5 years (long-term). Study participants can be atomoxetine naive, atomoxetine experienced whose therapy has been interrupted or, atomoxetine experienced on a known stable dose.

This research is being done to evaluate if NRP 104 is a safe drug. The other purpose is to learn if NRP104, when injected into a vein, produces a high and any other effects like amphetamine and other stimulant drugs that are abused. This information will give some indication if NRP104 can be abused. Healthy people, between the ages of 18 and 55 with histories of substance abuse that include stimulant drugs, may join. Amphetamines are drugs that are used most often to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, to treat narcolepsy (excessive sleepiness) and for weight loss.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in neuropsychological status from baseline to 6 months post-initiation of atomoxetine treatment in children ages 6 to 10.5 diagnosed with ADHD.

A multi center, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eszopiclone compared to placebo in children (6-11 years of age, inclusive) and adolescents (12-17 years of age, inclusive) with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated insomnia.

Trial 42603ATT3004 is an open-label extension study to clinical trial 42603ATT3002 (NCT00246220). In trial 42603ATT3002 the efficacy and safety of OROS methylphenidate was assessed in adult subjects with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disease (ADHD). ADHD is a developmental disorder beginning in childhood and characterized by developmentally inappropriate inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Data on the number of adult patients with ADHD is limited, but it is estimated that approximately 50% of children with ADHD will have symptoms also in adhulthood. The drug tested in this trial is OROS methylphenidate. The active ingredient is methylphenidate and the tablet is designed to release the active ingredient gradually to ensure an effect, which lasts up to 12 hours. Trial 42603ATT3002 consisted of a 5-week period, where subjects were assigned to either receive placebo (empty drug) or one out of three different dosages of OROS methylphenidate. This 5-week period was followed by a 7-week period, where patients received OROS methylphenidate at their optimal dose. In study 42603ATT3004, subjects who complete 42603ATT3002 are followed for a period of at least 52 weeks to evaluate safety and tolerability of OROS methylphenidate in patients who are treated with OROS methylphenidate over a long period of time. Amendment: At the end of the open-label period of the present study 42603ATT3004, patients are enrolled into a double-blind placebo-controlled period, which lasts an additional 4 weeks. The purpose of this double-blind placebo-controlled period is to evaluate the maintenance of effect under continued treatment with OROS methlyphenidate in comparison to treatment cessation in those patients, who are randomized into the placebo-group.

This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, study using daily doses of up to 24 mg/ day Galantamine HBr in the treatment of adults who meet DSM-IV criteria for childhood-onset ADHD. Specific hypotheses are as follows: Hypothesis 1: ADHD symptomatology in adults with DSM-IV ADHD will be responsive to acute Galantamine HBr treatment. Hypothesis 2: Galantamine HBr -associated improvement in ADHD symptomatology in adults will translate into improved functional capacities (neuropsychological, social, and occupational) as well as an increased quality of life throughout acute treatment. Hypothesis 3: Galantamine HBr treatment will be safe and well tolerated as reflected by a low drop out rate and absence of major differences from placebo.

The aim of this study is comparing the effects of non-pharmacological intervention (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, tDCS) with those of drug (methylphenidate, MPH) administration in children and adolescents with ADHD. The investigators hypothesized that tDCS would improve inhibitory control and visuo-spatial working memory as well as MPH.
