Introduction

Recent epidemiology studies have reported the prevalence of adult ADHD to be approximately 4%, however approved treatments are limited.

Objectives

Primary objectives were to confirm the clinically-effective and safe dosage range of MPH-LA in adults with ADHD and evaluate the 6-month maintenance of effect.

Methods

Treatment Period (TP) 1: Patients were randomized to double-blind placebo, MPH-LA 40, 60, or 80 mg/day for 9- weeks (3-week titration, 6-week fixed-dose) to evaluate change in DSM-IV ADHD-RS and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score in TP1. TP2: 5-week titration to individual optimal dose. TP3: Patients were randomized to their optimal dose or placebo for 6-months double-blind withdrawal period to evaluate percentage of treatment failures during TP3.

Results

Improvement from baseline in total score on the DSM-IV ADHD-RS and SDS was significantly greater than placebo for all MPH-LA dose levels (table). Patients treated with MPH-LA had significantly lower treatment failure rates (21.34%) compared to placebo in TP3 (49.6%; odds-ratio (95%CI=0.3 (0.2, 0.4); p< 0.0001). The safety results were consistent with the established safety profile for MPH-LA.

Conclusions

MPH-LA administered at 40-80mg/day demonstrated superior ADHD symptom control and reduction in functional impairment compared to placebo and demonstrated maintenance of effect over 6 months. No unexpected adverse events were observed.
