Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Participants must meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth
             Edition (DSM-5) criteria for ADHD (including predominantly inattentive presentation,
             hyperactive presentation, or combined presentation) as confirmed by the Adult ADHD
             Clinical Diagnostic Scale (ACDS) Version 1.2. To confirm that ADHD is the primary
             diagnosis, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) will be used to
             identify and exclude other psychiatric conditions which would preclude enrollment.

          -  Participants who were not receiving any pharmacological treatment for ADHD must have
             an Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) score of ≥ 28 at screening and
             baseline. Participants who were receiving pharmacological treatment for ADHD at
             screening must have a minimum AISRS score of ≥ 22 at screening, and a score of ≥ 28 at
             baseline.

          -  All participants must be willing to discontinue all prohibited psychotropic
             medications starting from the time of signing the informed consent through the 7-day
             follow-up period. Participants that do not rollover into Trial 405-201-00015 must be
             willing to discontinue all prohibited psychotropic medications starting from the time
             of signing the informed consent until after the follow-up telephone call 10 days after
             the last dose of IMP.

          -  Participants must have a Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-S)
             score of ≥ 4 (≥ moderate impairment) at baseline.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Participant has a DSM-5 Diagnosis of Other Specified or Unspecified Attention
             Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

          -  Participant has a current comorbid psychiatric disorder that either could be expected
             to require treatment with medications prohibited in this trial, or to confound
             efficacy or safety assessments. Examples include, but are not limited to, psychotic
             disorder, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive
             disorder, panic disorder, a current major depressive episode, or posttraumatic stress
             disorder, as established by the MINI.

          -  In the opinion of the investigator, participants has not derived significant
             therapeutic benefit from 2 or more ADHD therapies of 2 different classes (eg,
             amphetamine and methylphenidate) given with an acceptable dose and duration of
             adulthood (aged 18 or older). NOTE: If participants has not derived significant
             therapeutic benefit due to an inability to tolerate side effects, eligibility can be
             discussed on case-by-case basis with the medical monitor.

          -  Participants who have a positive alcohol test (via breathalyzer or blood), a positive
             drug screen assessed prior to the baseline visit for cocaine, other illicit drugs
             (including marijuana), or prescription or OTC ADHD medications will be early
             terminated. This includes medications such as opioids or benzodiazepines taken without
             prescription.

          -  In the opinion of the investigator, the participants is unable to adhere to the
             treatment regimen or other requirements outlined in the protocol.
