What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of SPN-812 on Symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as Assessed by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total Score

    The Primary Endpoint was the change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The scale is subdivided into two subscales: Inattention (9 items) and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (9 items). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. A Total score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 18 items (range: 0-54; the higher the score, the more severe the ADHD symptoms). A lower change from baseline AISRS Total score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effect of SPN-812 on the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Scale

    The Key Secondary Endpoint was the change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score at Week 6. The CGI-S is a single item clinician-rated assessment of the severity of subject's condition (ADHD symptoms) in relation to the clinician's total experience with patients with ADHD. The CGI-S is evaluated on a 7-point scale with 1 = Normal, not at all ill, asymptomatic, 2 = Borderline Ill, 3 = Mildly Ill, 4 = Moderately Ill, 5 = Markedly Ill, 6 = Severely Ill, and 7 = Among the most extremely ill patients. Successful therapy is indicated by a lower overall score in subsequent testing. A lower change from baseline CGI-S score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  2. Effect of SPN-812 on the Clinical Response Rate as Assessed by the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Scale

    An additional secondary endpoint was the percentage of subjects with a Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score of 1 or 2 ("responders") at Week 6. The CGI-S is a single item clinician-rated assessment of the severity of subject's condition (ADHD symptoms) in relation to the clinician's total experience with patients with ADHD. The CGI-S is evaluated on a 7-point scale with 1 = Normal, not at all ill, asymptomatic, 2 = Borderline Ill, 3 = Mildly Ill, 4 = Moderately Ill, 5 = Markedly Ill, 6 = Severely Ill, and 7 = Among the most extremely ill patients. Responder rate values range from 0 to 100%. A higher percentage represents a greater number of subjects who are "responders".

    Time frame: Week 6

  3. Effect of SPN-812 on the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scale

    An additional secondary endpoint was the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) score at Week 6. The CGI-I scale is a single item clinician-rated assessment of how much the subject's condition (ADHD) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to his/her baseline state prior to the beginning of treatment. The CGI-I is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, where 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 CGI-I score \<4 represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Week 6

  4. Effect of SPN-812 on Clinical Response Rate as Assessed by the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scale

    An additional secondary endpoint was the percentage of subjects with a CGI-I score of 1 or 2 ("responders") at Week 6. The CGI-I scale is a single item clinician-rated assessment of how much the subject's condition (ADHD) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to his/her baseline state prior to the beginning of treatment. The CGI-I is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, where 1 = "very much improved", 2 = "much improved", 3 = "minimally improved", 4 = "no change", 5 = "minimally worse", 6 = "much worse", and 7 = "very much worse". Responder rate values can range from 0 to 100%. A higher percentage represents a greater number of subjects who are "responders".

    Time frame: Week 6

  5. Effect of SPN-812 on Symptoms of Anxiety as Assessed by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Scale

    An additional secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) Total score at Week 6. The GAD-7 is a self-reported 7-item questionnaire for screening and measuring the severity of generalized anxiety disorder. The subject rates each item on 4-point scale (0-3), where 0 = "Not at all", 1 = "Several days", 2 = "Over half the days", and 3 = "Nearly every day". The total score is calculated by summated the ratings of all 7 items. The total score can range between 0 to 21; the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms of anxiety. A lower change from baseline GAD-7 total score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  6. Effect of SPN-812 on Inattention Symptoms as Assessed by the Inattention Subscale of the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS)

    An additional secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) "Inattention" subscale score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The scale is subdivided into two subscales: Inattention (9 items) and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (9 items). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. The Inattention subscale score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 9 Inattention items (range: 0-27; the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms). A lower change from baseline Inattention subscale score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  7. Effect of SPN-812 on Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Symptoms as Assessed by the Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Subscale of the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS)

    An additional secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) "Hyperactivity/Impulsivity" subscale score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The scale is subdivided into two subscales: Inattention (9 items) and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (9 items). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. The Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscale score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 9 Hyperactivity/Impulsivity items (range: 0-27; the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms). A lower change from baseline Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscale score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  8. Effect of SPN-812 on 30% Clinical Response Rate as Assessed by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS)

    An additional secondary endpoint was the percentage of subjects with a 30% or greater reduction in their change from baseline Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. A Total score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 18 items (range: 0-54; the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms). The Total score is converted to a percent change from baseline. 30% responder rate values can range between 0 and 100%. A higher percentage represents a greater number of subjects who are "responders".

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  9. Effect of SPN-812 on 50% Clinical Response Rate as Assessed by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS).

    An additional secondary endpoint was the percentage of subjects with a 50% or greater reduction in their change from baseline Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. A Total score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 18 items (range: 0-54; the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms). The Total score is converted to a percent change from baseline. 50% responder rate values can range between 0 and 100%. A higher percentage represents a greater number of subjects who are "responders".

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

  10. Effect of SPN-812 on the Global Executive Composite (GEC) of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A)

    An additional secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A) Global Executive Composite (GEC) T-score at Week 6. The BRIEF-A is a 75-item self-rating scale that assesses overall functioning (GEC) and 9 non-overlapping scales among 2 summary index scales (Metacognition Index \[MI\] and Behavioral Regulation Index \[BRI\]) that assess aspects of executive function and problems with self-regulation from the perspective of the individual. Subjects rate each item on a 3-point scale (1=Never, 2=Sometimes, or 3=Often) based on their experience within the last month. The sum of 70 items yields the GEC raw score (range: 70-210), which is converted to a T-score (normative population mean=50 and standard deviation=10; T-score ≥ 65 is considered abnormally elevated). T-score is converted to a change from baseline T-score. A lower change from baseline GEC T-score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

Outcome measures

PrimaryEfficacy of SPN-812 on Symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as Assessed by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total Score

The Primary Endpoint was the change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) Total score at Week 6. The AISRS is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD symptomatology in adults. The AISRS consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 symptoms of ADHD per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). The scale is subdivided into two subscales: Inattention (9 items) and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (9 items). The clinician/investigator rates the subject on each item using a 4-point scale, where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe. A Total score is calculated by summating the ratings of all 18 items (range: 0-54; the higher the score, the more severe the ADHD symptoms). A lower change from baseline AISRS Total score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

SecondaryEffect of SPN-812 on the "Emotional Control" Scale of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A)

An additional secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A) "Emotional Control" scale T-score at Week 6. The BRIEF-A is a 75-item self-rating scale that assesses overall functioning and 9 non-overlapping scales among 2 summary index scales. The "Emotional Control" scale is one of four Behavioral Regulation Index-related scales; it captures an individual's ability to modulate their emotional responses appropriately. Subjects rate each item on a 3-point scale (1=Never, 2=Sometimes, or 3=Often) based on their experience within the last month. The sum of 10 items yields the "Emotional Control" raw score (range: 10-30), which is converted to a T-score (normative population mean=50 and standard deviation=10; T-score ≥ 65 is considered abnormally elevated). T-score is converted to a change from baseline T-score. A lower change from baseline "Emotional Control" T-score (\<0) represents a better outcome.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2019 to primary completion in Oct 2020, 10 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2022, 1 year 9 months after primary completion.

Of 51 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 27. This study's 10 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 62 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 32.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 12, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
