Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Symptoms Total Score of the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS)
from baseline to 13 weeks

The primary endpoint was the change in the ADHD symptoms total score of the investigator-rated CAARS from baseline to the last assessment in the double-blind treatment period. CAARS assesses ADHD symptoms and behaviors in adults using a scale ranging from 0 (best) to 54 (worst). For subjects without a post-baseline efficacy measurement, a change of 0 units was imputed.

Secondary Endpoints

Change in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) From Baseline to End of Treatment
from baseline to13 weeks
Clinical Global Impression-Change (CGI-C)
13 weeks
Change in Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scale Self Report Short Version (CAARS-S:S) Total Score
