Conditions: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 87
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, Phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NT0102 in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in pediatric patients 6 to 12 years of age in a laboratory classroom study.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: After the screening/washout period, all participants will receive study drug NT0102 once daily for 4 weeks during the dose optimization period. After completion of the dose optimization period, the optimized dose of the study drug will be selected, and participants will stay on that dose for 1 week (dose stabilization period). At the end of this period, participants will be randomized to a treatment. Participants in this arm will be given 20-60 mg of NT0102 as oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) once daily for one week during the double-blind treatment period. arm 2: After the screening/washout period, all participants will receive study drug NT0102 once daily for 4 weeks during the dose optimization period. After completion of the dose optimization period, the optimized dose of the study drug will be selected, and participants will stay on that dose for 1 week (dose stabilization period). At the end of this period, participants will be randomized to a treatment. Participants in this arm will be given placebo as matching ODT once daily for one week during the double-blind treatment period.

Interventions: intervention 1: NT0102 intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: NT0102 (methylphenidate polistirex \[MPP\] extended release \[XR\] ODT) was given once daily at a dose equivalent to 20-60 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride. intervention 2: Matching ODT placebo was given once daily.
