Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

A Dose-Ranging Study of the Efficacy of ABT-894 in Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

This is a study designed to characterize the dermal response of DAYTRANA. Subjects will visit the study site over a period of approximately 14 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine if methylphenidate (a common brand name is Ritalin), a medicine used for treating older children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is also safe and helpful for problems related to symptoms of ADHD in young children with Developmental Disorders (DD)

The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of five doses of ABT-089 (2 mg QD, 5 mg QD, 15 mg QD, 40 mg QD and 40 mg BID) to placebo in adults with ADHD.

Evaluate the behavioral effects of MTS in children aged 6-12 with ADHD

The purpose of this study is to assess, in a controlled environment, the efficacy and safety of NRP104 and Adderall XR compared to placebo in treatment of children, aged 6-12, with ADHD.

This is a two-arm, parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 4 multicenter trial to compare the whole day efficacy of atomoxetine versus placebo in children aged 6 through 12 years with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treated in an inpatient, day-patient and outpatient setting in Germany. Core symptoms will be measured during once or bi-weekly visits, three times per visit-day, by a computer based Continuous Performance Test. Following an initial 3-28-day screening and washout phase, patients will be assigned to double-blind treatment with atomoxetine or placebo. In the verum arm, a one-week atomoxetine treatment period with the 0.5 mg/kg per day lead-in dose will be succeeded by a 7 week period at the target dose of 1.2 mg/kg per day.

This is an open-label study of the efficacy of Daytrana (methylphenidate transdermal system) for the treatment of attention and behavioral symptoms in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Twenty patients will be enrolled and treated with 10-30 mg of Daytrana for a total of eight weeks. Changes in core hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention symptoms, autism spectrum symptoms and functional outcomes will be assessed. Acceptability of the transdermal route of administration in this population will also be assessed. The researchers hypothesize that Daytrana is a safe and effective medication for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders who have symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

This study compared the efficacy of dex-methylphenidate extended release 20 mg versus placebo during an 8-hour laboratory classroom day.

The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess overall safety and tolerability as measured by discontinuation rate due to adverse events in doses up to 120 mg/day in relation to global clinical studies in adult subjects who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV™) criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
