Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety/tolerability of 3 different dosages of JNJ-31001074 compared with placebo in adult patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of JNS001 at 18 to 72 mg per day in adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to assess changes in ADHD symptoms and tolerability of medication in children and adolescents switching from a stimulant to atomoxetine.

The purpose of the study is to compare atomoxetine hydrochloride and methylphenidate hydrochloride in pediatric patients with ADHD.

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of atomoxetine in Japanese pediatric patients with ADHD.

This study investigates whether OROS-methylphenidate improves performance on different aspects of attention and memory in children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The proposed protocol is a 3 group double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient study of the safety and efficacy of Adderall-XR (ER-MAS) in the treatment of comorbid ADHD and cocaine dependence. Since this medication has independently shown promise in helping with ADHD and cocaine abuse, we are proposing that it may be successful in the treatment of comorbid ADHD and cocaine abuse. We plan to enroll 75 subjects in a 14-week trial. The primary objectives of the study are to determine the efficacy of ER-MAS in promoting cocaine abstinence and improvement in ADHD symptomology among cocaine-dependent patients with comorbid ADHD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of JNJ-31001074 compared to placebo in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) respond to treatment with three differing doses of stimulant medications used to treat ADHD, Adderall XR® and Focalin XR®. Another purpose of the study is to evaluate if there are differences in sleep and other side effects, such as changes in mood or loss of appetite, which can occur with stimulant medications. A third purpose is to determine if there are differences in the characteristics of individuals who respond better to either of the medications. This research is being done because the investigators do not know if one of these two commonly used treatments is better tolerated than the other. Children and adolescents with ADHD often have a hard time sitting still, playing quietly, finishing things they start, paying attention, waiting their turn, and not distracting others. These medications improve these symptoms, but sometimes affect sleep, appetite, or mood. It is hypothesized that at effective and frequently prescribed doses, Adderall will be associated with insomnia, more stimulant side effects, and decreased tolerability during an acute trial relative to Focalin.

A three-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 4, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of atomoxetine versus placebo in children and adolescents aged 6 through 17 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) who are treated as outpatients in Germany. After an initial 3- to 28-day screening and washout phase, participants will be assigned to double-blind treatment with atomoxetine or placebo. A 2 week up-titration period will be succeeded by a 7 week treatment period at the target dose. The primary efficacy measure will be the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Rating Scale Revised (SNAP-IV) ODD subscale score.
