Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how safe and how well SPD465 works compared to placebo in adults with ADHD. It is hypothesized that SPD465 will achieve an extended duration of clinical benefit.

Studies have shown that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at greater risk for having a substance use disorder compared to people who do not have ADHD. Rates of cocaine abuse in adults with ADHD are significantly higher than they are in adults who do not have ADHD. Some clinicians suggest that adults with ADHD may abuse cocaine in order to self-medicate their ADHD symptoms. Atomoxetine is a drug that has been effective in treating ADHD. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of atomoxetine in reducing cocaine use in people with ADHD who abuse cocaine.

This study evaluated the safety and clinical effect of treatment with methylphenidate under different breakfast conditions (minimal breakfast versus standard continental breakfast) in children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a single drug versus a combination of drugs in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ABT-089 in adults with ADHD.

This study is designed to assess efficacy and safety of NRP-104 administered as a daily dose of 30mg, 50mg or 70mg compared to placebo in the treatment of children aged 6-12 years with ADHD.

The purpose of this study is to see if supplementing calories with Pediasure is effective in maintaining height, weight, and BMI percentiles for young children during 2 years of treatment with ADHD medication.

The objective is to assess overall safety and tolerability of atomoxetine in doses up to 120 mg/day in Japanese adult patients who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria for ADHD

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a 12-week trial of memantine hydrochloride administered twice daily in 20 adults (ages 18-55) with ADHD and ADHD NOS. Improvement will be defined as: 1) changes from baseline on the investigator-rated DSM-IV based ADHD Rating Scale; 2) changes from baseline in a questionnaire aimed at assessing executive functions (BRIEF); and 3) changes from screening in a computerized neuropsychological battery (CANTAB). We hypothesize that memantine hydrochloride will be associated with improving ADHD symptoms and associated deficits in executive functions. We also expect that memantine will be well-tolerated with predictable adverse events.

This study will evaluate atomoxetine's efficacy in treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and atomoxetine's effect on functional outcomes in young adults. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives. This study also has an observational community sample arm in which patients will complete all the efficacy measurements via web-based self reporting.
