The AISRS is an 18-item clinician-rated instrument for assessing the 18 core symptoms of ADHD corresponding to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) diagnostic symptoms for adults. Based on the clinician's rating for each of the symptoms using a 4-point scale (0=None to 3=Severe), the AISRS total score is derived by summing the score assigned to each of the 18 symptoms. Scores can range from 0 to 54, with a higher score indicating a more severe ADHD symptoms. Baseline was defined as the score at the baseline visit prior to starting dosing for Period 1 and as the last score in the 2-week placebo wash-out period for Period 2. For the statistical analyses, the average score from Day 14 and Day 21 was used.
