Frequently asked questions about OROS*-Methylphenidate

What is OROS-Methylphenidate used for?

OROS-Methylphenidate is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is a long-acting formulation of methylphenidate designed for once-daily dosing. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes OROS-Methylphenidate?

OROS-Methylphenidate is being developed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's effectiveness and safety in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The drug is currently in Phase 3 development and remains investigational.

What phase is OROS-Methylphenidate in?

OROS-Methylphenidate is in Phase 3 clinical development for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, and the drug is not currently in active clinical trials.

What clinical trials is OROS-Methylphenidate in?

OROS-Methylphenidate has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered as NCT00304681. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of CONCERTA (OROS-methylphenidate) compared to immediate-release methylphenidate in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The trial enrolled 147 participants aged 6 years and older.

How does OROS-Methylphenidate work?

OROS-Methylphenidate works by targeting the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, increasing their concentrations in the synaptic cleft. This mechanism helps improve attention and reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The OROS delivery system provides extended release of the medication.

Is OROS-Methylphenidate the same as CONCERTA?

Yes, OROS-Methylphenidate is the same as CONCERTA, as indicated in the clinical trial title. CONCERTA is the brand name for the OROS formulation of methylphenidate. The drug is being developed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
