Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This is an 8-week randomised placebo controlled trial of OROS-MPH, in young adult prisoners meeting diagnostic criteria for ADHD. OROS-MPH is a long acting stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. The primary objective is to establish the efficacy of OROS-MPH in reducing ADHD symptoms (inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity) in young male offenders aged 16-25, meeting diagnostic criteria for DSM-5 ADHD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Participants have the right to withdraw from the study at any time for any reason. Healthcare staff has the right to withdraw patients from the trial if they consider the trial is having an adverse effect on the participants. However, where the problem is restricted to taking trial medication we will invite participants to remain in the study to complete trial assessments, thereby minimising loss of data. Should a patient decide to withdraw from the study, all efforts will be made to report the reason for withdrawal as thoroughly as possible. Anyone withdrawn from the clinical trial will be reviewed by the prison healthcare team to ensure their safety. All participants will be informed that they have the right to withdraw from the study at any time. If the trial medication is stopped, the participant will remain in the study and will be asked to complete trial assessments. A clinical assessment will be made on a case by case basis as to the safety of restarting the trial medication after 48 hours from the time of stopping the trial medication. The role of the trial steering committee and data monitoring committee for this trial was to provide independent oversight of ethical and safety aspects of the trial.
    Background therapy
    		 -
    Evidence for comparator
    		 It is established that a high proportion of prisoners meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, with prevalence among prisoners estimated to be between 20 to 30%. It is also established that stimulants such as methylphenidate can reduce the symptoms of ADHD and this is a recommended first line treatment in the UK. However, it is not clear whether prisoners with ADHD will show the same beneficial effects of methylphenidate. Differences may arise because problems with poor attention span, forgetfulness, being overactive and restless or impatient might be better explained by other conditions such as anxiety and depression, personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and drug abuse. This trial follows an open label study investigating the effects of OROS-methylphenidate, an extended release preparation of methylphenidate, showing significant reductions in ADHD symptoms. The trial looks at young male offenders who have undiagnosed or untreated ADHD and investigates the effects of OROS-MPH in this group using a randomised placebo-controlled study design.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 Recruitment was between 17Oct16 and 02Apr19. Participants were recruited from HMP YOI Isis (London) and HM YOI Polmont (Falkirk).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 1183 prisoners consented to be screened. 585 screened negative on the Barkley ADHD self-rating scale and a further 52 excluded. Of the 546 who were then assessed more fully, 153 did not have ADHD , 86 failed to attend, a further 28 were likely to leave the prison during the prison during the course of the trial, and 6 failed eligibility checks.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The pre-assignment period includes screen fails who were not enrolled into the study.

    Treatment will start at an initial dose of 18 mg (1 capsule) for 1 week, and be increased weekly in 18 mg increments to a maximum of 72 mg (4 capsules) (i.e. 18 mg (1 capsule), 36 mg (2 capsule), 54 mg (3 capsules) and 72 mg (4 capsules). Medication will be reduced by 18 mg (1 capsule) if there is a limiting adverse event, in which case there will be no further increase in medication for the duration of the trial. Medication may be provided either once or twice daily up to the maximum daily dose.

    All trial medication was titrated in the same. Treatment started at an initial dose of 1 capsule of trial medication at the start of week 1. The number of capsules was then increased weekly over the following 4 weeks, in increments of 1 capsule, to a maximum of 4 capsules. This reflected a dose range for the active medication of 18, 36, 54 and 72 mg.
