Study summary

The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of four doses of SPN-810 in children with ADHD and persistent serious conduct problems.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomized, multicenter, parallel group, dose-ranging safety and tolerability study in children with ADHD and persistent serious conduct problems. The target subjects are healthy male or female children aged 6 to 12 years, inclusive, with a diagnosis of ADHD with persistent serious conduct problems. To determine eligibility for the study, subjects will undergo an initial screening visit. Seventy-two subjects will be randomized in the study; assuming a 17% dropout rate, it is anticipated that 60 subjects will complete the study. The study will consist of a Screening Period (within 28 days prior to the first dose administration), a Titration Period of 2 to 5 weeks, a Maintenance Period of 6 weeks, and a Safety Follow-up, which will be performed 30 days after the final study visit. The total subject duration in the study will be 16 to 19 weeks depending on the treatment group assignment. The total study duration is anticipated to be 15.5 months. A total of 72 subjects will be randomized based on weight at baseline, to 1 of 4 treatment groups.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form- Typical Intelligence Quotient (NCBRF-TIQ) Conduct Problem Subscale Score

    The Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF) is an instrument designed to assess the behavior of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The NCBRF-TIQ is a 66-item behavior rating form designed to assess the behavior of children and adolescents with typical development. The NCBRF is made up of three sections: I, Where raters can identify unusual circumstances that may have affected the youth's behavior; II, where positive behaviors are rated, and III, a listing of problem behaviors. There are separate Teacher and Parent versions of the form, and the NCBRF takes about 15 minutes to complete. The NCBRF is designed to be used with children and adolescents ages 3 to 16 years. The lowest score is a "0" and the highest score is "198". A higher score of the Conduct Problem Subscale score means a worse outcome. A change or negative score means improvement. Data represent the change from baseline (Visit 1) and 11 time points (Visit 2 to Visit 12).

    Time frame: Weekly visits starting from Visit 1 (Week 1) to Visit 12 (12 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Changes From Baseline in the CGI-S

    The CGI scale was developed to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician's view of a subject's global functioning prior to and after the administration of study medication. The severity of illness (CGI-S) is rated by the investigator on a 7-point scale with 1=Normal, 2=Borderline ill, 3=Mildly ill, 4=Moderately ill, 5=Markedly ill, 6=Severely ill, and 7=Extremely ill. Data represent the change from baseline (Visit 1) and 11 time points (Visit 2 to Visit 12). A lower overall score in subsequent testing indicates successful therapy.

    Time frame: Weekly visits starting from Visit 1 (Week 1) to Visit 12 (12 weeks)

  2. Clinical Global Impression - Improvement Scale (CGI-I)

    Clinical Global Impression Scale. CGI-I is measured relative to the condition at the Baseline on a 7-point scale with 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much worse, and 7=Very much worse. A lower overall score in subsequential testing indicates successful treatment. Data represent the change from baseline (Visit 1) and 11 time points (Visit 2 to Visit 12).

    Time frame: Weekly visits starting from Visit 1 (Week 1) to Visit 12 (12 weeks)

  3. SNAP-IV ADHD Inattention

    The ratings from the SNAP-IV scale are grouped into the following 3 subscales: ADHD-Inattention (items #1-9), ADHD-Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (items #10-18), and ADHD combined (items #0-18) Subscales. The symptoms are scored on a 4-point scale. Each subscale score is the average rating of the items scores for the subscale. For the inattention subscale, the scores range from 0-27, the higher the score, the worse the outcome. A decrease in score means improvement. Data represent the change between Baseline (Visit 1) to Visit 2, Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 10 and Visit 12.

    Time frame: Weekly visits starting from Visit 1 (Week 1) to Visit 12 (12 weeks)

  4. SNAP-IV Subscales ADHD Hyperactivity/Impulsivity

    The ratings from the SNAP-IV scale are grouped into the following 3 subscales: ADHD-Inattention (items #1-9), ADHD-Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (items #10-18), and ADHD combined (items #1-18) Subscales. The symptoms are scored on a 4-point scale. Each subscale score is the average rating of the items scores for the subscale. For the Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscale, the scores range from 0-27, the higher the score, the worse the outcome. A decrease in score means improvement. Data represent the change between Baseline (Visit 1) to Visit 2, Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 10 and Visit 12.

    Time frame: Weekly visits starting from Visit 1 (Week 1) to Visit 12 (12 weeks)

  5. SNAP-IV Subscales - ADHD Combined

    The ratings from the SNAP-IV scale are grouped into the following 3 subscales: ADHD-Inattention (items #1-9), ADHD-Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (items #10-18), and ADHD combined (items #1-18) Subscales. The symptoms are scored on a 4-point scale. Each subscale score is the average rating of the items scores for the subscale. For the combined subscale, the scores range from 0-54, the higher the score, the worse the outcome. A decrease in score means improvement. Data represent the change between Baseline (Visit 1) to Visit 2, Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 10 and Visit 12.
