E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the long-term safety of SPD489 administered as a daily morning dose (30, 50, and 70mg) in the treatment of children and adolescents (6-17 years of age inclusive at the time of consent in this study or a previous SPD489 study (SPD489-317, SPD489-325, or SPD489-326) diagnosed with moderately to severely symptomatic ADHD.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To assess the long-term efficacy of SPD489 using the clinician-administered
ADHD-rating scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) total score and hyperactivity/impulsivity and
inattentiveness subscale scores.
2. To assess the long-term efficacy of SPD489 using global clinical measures of severity and improvement as measured by the Clinical Global Impressions – Severity of Illness (CGI-S) and Clinical Global Impressions – Global Improvement (CGI-I). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
For subjects who participated in another SPD489 study (SPD489-317, SPD489-325, or SPD489 326):
1.Subject is a male or female aged 6-17 years inclusive at the time of consent for the previous SPD489 study.
2.Subject participated in SPD489-317, completed 9 weeks of treatment, and completed the 1 week post-treatment safety follow-up visit.
For subjects who have not participated in another SPD489 study:
3.Subject is a male or female aged 6-17 years inclusive at the time of consent.
4.Subject must meet DSM IV TR criteria for a primary diagnosis of ADHD based on a detailed psychiatric evaluation.
For all subjects:
5.Subject has a Baseline (Visit 0) ADHD-RS-IV total score ≥28.
6.Subject, who is female of childbearing potential (FOCP), must have a negative serum beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test at Screening (Visit –1), and a negative urine pregnancy test at Baseline (Visit 0), be non-lactating and agree to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol
7.Subject’s parent or legally authorised representative (LAR) must provide signature of informed consent, and there must be documentation of assent (if applicable) by the subject indicating that the subject is aware of the investigational nature of the study and the required procedures and restrictions in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) GCP Guideline E6 (1996) and applicable regulations, before completing any study related procedures.
8.Subject and parent/LAR are willing and able to comply with all the testing and requirements defined in this protocol, including oversight of morning dosing. Specifically, the parent/LAR must be available upon awakening, at approximately 7:00AM, to dispense the dose of Investigational Product for the duration of the study.
9.Subject aged 6-17 years has blood pressure measurements within the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height at Screening (Visit –1) and Baseline (Visit 0). Subject aged ≥18 years has a systolic blood pressure ≤139mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure ≤89mmHg at Screening (Visit -1) and Baseline (Visit 0).
10.Subject is functioning at an age-appropriate level intellectually, as deemed by the study Investigator.
11.Subject is able to swallow a capsule.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
For subjects who participated in another SPD489 study:
1.Subject was terminated from a previous SPD489 study (SPD489-325 or SPD489 326) for protocol non-adherence and/or subject non-compliance and/or experienced a medication-related SAE or AE resulting in termination from the previous study.
2.Subject experienced any clinically significant AEs in a prior SPD489 study (SPD489 317, SPD489-325, or SPD489-326) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude further exposure to SPD489.
For all subjects:
3.Subject’s symptoms are well-controlled on their currently prescribed ADHD medication with acceptable tolerability.
4.Subject has a positive urine drug result at Screening (Visit –1), with the exception of the subject’s current ADHD therapy.
5.Subject has a current, controlled (requiring a restricted medication) or uncontrolled, comorbid psychiatric diagnosis with significant symptoms such as any severe comorbid Axis II disorder or severe Axis I disorder or other symptomatic manifestations, such as agitated states, marked anxiety, or tension that, in the opinion of the examining clinician, will contraindicate treatment with SPD489 or confound efficacy or safety assessments. Comorbid psychiatric diagnoses will be established using the K SADS-PL and additional modules if warranted by the results of the initial interview. Participation in behavioural therapy is permitted.
6.Subject has taken another Investigational Product or taken part in a clinical study with the exception of a prior SPD489 study within 30 days prior to Screening (Visit –1).
7.Subject weighs <22.7kg (50lbs) or is significantly underweight based on World Health Organization Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age sex specific charts at Screening
(Visit –1). Significantly underweight is defined as a BMI <3rd percentile for this study.
8.Subject is significantly overweight based on World Health Organization Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age and sex specific charts at Screening (Visit –1). Significantly overweight is defined as a BMI >97th percentile for this study.
9.Subject has a conduct disorder. Oppositional defiant disorder is not exclusionary.
10.Subject has a concurrent chronic or acute illness, disability, or other condition that might confound the results of safety assessments conducted in the study or that might increase risk to the subject. Similarly, the subject will be excluded if he or she has any additional condition(s) that, in the Investigator’s opinion, would prohibit the subject from completing the study or would not be in the best interest of the subject. The additional condition(s) would include any significant illness or unstable medical condition that could lead to difficulty complying with the protocol. Mild, stable asthma is not exclusionary.
11.Subject is currently considered a suicide risk in the opinion of the Investigator, has previously made a suicide attempt, or has a prior history of, or is currently demonstrating active suicidal ideation. Subjects with intermittent passive suicidal ideation are not necessarily excluded based on the assessment of the Investigator
12.Subject has glaucoma.
13.Subject has current abnormal thyroid function, defined as abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) at Screening (Visit –1). Treatment with a stable dose of thyroid medication for at least 3 months is permitted.
14.Subject has any clinically significant ECG abnormality at Screening (Visit –1) or Baseline (Visit 0).
15.Subject has any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at Screening (Visit –1) or Baseline (Visit 0) if repeated.
16.Subject has a documented allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to any active ingredient or excipients in SPD489.
17.Subject has a recent history (within the past 6 months) of suspected substance abuse or dependence disorder (excluding nicotine) in accordance with DSM-IV-TR criteria.
18.Subject has a history of seizures (other than infantile febrile seizures), a chronic or current tic disorder, a current diagnosis of Tourette’s Disorder, or a known family history of Tourette’s Disorder. Subject has a history of tics that is judged by the Investigator to be exclusionary.
19.Subject has a known history of symptomatic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, advanced arteriosclerosis, structural cardiac abnormality, cardiomyopathy, serious heart rhythm abnormalities, coronary artery disease, or other serious cardiac problems that may place them at increased vulnerability to the sympathomimetic effects of a stimulant drug.
20.Subject has a known family history of sudden cardiac death or ventricular arrhythmia.
21.Subject is taking any medication that is excluded.
22.Subject has a medical condition, other than ADHD, that requires treatment with medications that have central nervous system effects and/or affect performance. Stable use of anticholinergic or theophylline bronchodilators is not exclusionary. |
