Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Clinician-Administered Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) Preschool Version Total Score at Week 6
Baseline, Week 6

ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was adapted from the ADHD Rating Scale-IV and provided examples appropriate for the developmental level of preschool children. The ADHD-RS-IV Preschool Version was an 18-item questionnaire that required the respondent to rate the frequency of occurrence of ADHD symptoms as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (never or rarely) to 3 (very often) with total scores ranging from 0-54. The 18 items were grouped into 2 subscales: hyperactivity/impulsivity (even numbered items 2-18) and inattentiveness (odd numbered items 1-17). Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post-dose ADHD RS IV preschool version total score assessment.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (Week 53)

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs was defined as AEs that start or deteriorate on or after the date of the first dose of investigational product and no later than 3 days following the last dose of investigational product.

Change From Baseline in Sleep Patterns Assessed by Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) at Week 52/ Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

Sleep patterns included sleep diary data and children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ), which was parent report questionnaire designed to screen for the most common sleep problems in children, and consisted of 33 items for scoring and several extra items intended to provide administrators with other potentially useful information about respondents. The instrument evaluates the child's sleep based on behavior within 8 different sub scales: bedtime resistance, sleep-onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, and daytime sleepiness. Each item receives a score from 1 (problem occurs rarely) to 3 (problem usually occurs); therefore, a higher score is the worse outcome. Scale ranges are as follows: bedtime resistance: 6 to 18, sleep onset delay: 1 to 3, sleep duration: 3 to 9, sleep anxiety: 4 to 12, night walkings: 3 to 9, parasomnias: 7 to 21, sleep-disordered breathing: 3 to 9, and daytime sleepiness: 8 to 24.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters at Week 52/ Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

12-lead ECG was evaluated and recorded. ECG variables included heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, and corrected QT interval (QTc). The QTc was calculated using both Bazett (QTcB=QT/\[RR\]1/2) and Fridericia (QTcF=QT/\[RR\]1/3) corrections. Here, \> = represents "greater than or equal to", \< represents "lesser than" and \> represents "greater than".

Number of Participants With a Positive Response Using Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at Week 52/ Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

C-SSRS was semi-structured interview that captured the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. The interview included definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behavior occurred. The C-SSRS contained 2 required items pertaining to suicidal ideation, 4 required items pertaining to suicidal behavior, and 1 required item pertaining to non-suicidal but self-injurious behavior. In situations where there was a positive response to the screening questions, there were 8 additional suicidal ideation items and 4 additional suicidal behavior items which were completed. Thus, there was a maximum of 19 items to be completed. Here number of participants responded as yes to suicidal ideation or behaviour were reported.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Values at Week 52/ Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

Clinical laboratory evaluations included biochemistry and endocrinology, hematology, and urinalysis. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory values were reported.

Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs at Week 52/ Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

Vital sign assessments included blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in vital signs were reported.

Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) Percentiles at Week 52/Early Termination (ET)
Week 52/ET

BMI was derived from height and weight. BMI was normalized by sex and age using the CDC growth charts. BMI percentiles were categorized as: Underweight (BMI \< 5th percentile); Healthy weight (BMI 5th percentile up to \< 85th percentile); Overweight (BMI 85th percentile \< 95th percentile); Obese (BMI \>= 95th percentile). Number of participants with shift from baseline in BMI percentile categories at Week 52/ET was reported.

Time to Relapse From Date of Randomization to Endpoint of The Randomized-withdrawal Period
Visit 21 (26 weeks after randomization [Week 38] or Early Termination)

Relapse status was assessed during the double-blind treatment phase and was defined as having 2 or more binge days per week for 2 consecutive weeks (14 consecutive days) prior to any visit and having an increase in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) score of 2 or more points compared to the randomized-withdrawal baseline (date of relapse - date of randomization). Binge eating information was captured via a self-report paper diary. The binge diary captured the number of binges per day, total hours per day spent binging, type of binge (at mealtime or at another time other than mealtime), and a description of the binge (amounts and types of foods). Binge frequency was reviewed by the clinician with the subject to confirm reported binge episodes per day. The CGI-S was performed to rate the severity of a subject's condition using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill).

Change From Baseline in the Number of Binge Days Per Week at Visit 8 (Weeks 11-12)
Baseline and Visit 8 (Weeks 11-12)

Binge days defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurred. As assessed by clinical interview based on participant binge diary.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) as a Measure of Safety
52 weeks
Number of Participants With a Positive Response on The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
53 weeks

Suicidality was assessed by using the C-SSRS, a semi-structured interview designed to capture the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. The interview and rating for the C-SSRS was completed by a clinician who had been successfully trained by the sponsor or designee. The interview was initiated with 5 (yes/no) questions, presented in ascending order of severity, about suicidal ideation. The most severe type of ideation was rated for frequency, duration, controllability, deterrents, and reason. If the answers to the first 2 ideation questions were "yes," the clinician asked questions 3-5. Active suicidal ideation included any participant who answered "yes" to questions 2-5. If the answers to ideation questions 1 and 2 were "no," then the clinician proceeded to 5 (yes/no) questions that addressed suicidal behavior, which was categorized as actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, preparatory acts or behaviors, and completed suicide.

8 weeks

MADRS is a validated, 10-item rating scale with each item being scored on a scale from 0-6 with a total score ranging from 0-60. Lower scores indicate a decreased severity of depression.

Time to First Response
9 weeks

Time to first response was defined as a Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) value of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) first recorded following first dose of investigational product. CGI-I consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Percent of Participants With Treatment Failures at End of The Randomized Withdrawal Period
Baseline of the randomized withdrawal period and its relevant endpoint (Up to 6 weeks)

Power of Attention Score
pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 14 and 16 hours post-dose on Day 7

The Power of Attention score reflects the ability to focus attention, and is calculated as the sum of the reaction time, measured in milliseconds, from 3 attention tests (Simple Reaction Time, Choice Reaction Time, and Digit Vigilance Speed). Faster performance (lower times) reflects more intense concentration. A decrease in the Power of Attention score indicates improvement.
