    • \<=130,000/mm3
    • \<=11.2 g/dL
    • Neutrophils, absolute\<=1000/mm3
    • > 2 x
    • ALT > 2 x ULN
    • \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, calculated by the CKiD U25 equation
    • CPK>=2 x ULN (except for the participants that the medical monitor determines that inclusion is possible based on discussion about their condition with the investigator or subinvestigator)
    • Abnormal values for both free T4 and TSH
  • Participants who cannot agree to discontinuation of prohibited concomitant medication, such as ADHD medication or antidepressants.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs are defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of IMP. They are all adverse events that started after the start of centanafadine; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was worsening, serious, study drug-related, or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of study therapy.

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

Started Sep 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2027, 23 months after the start.

Of 66 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 19. This study's planned 23 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 80 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 32.

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 Dec 23, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
