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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
Clinical laboratory evaluations included biochemistry and endocrinology, hematology, and urinalysis. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory values were reported.
Vital sign assessments included blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate. Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in vital signs were reported.
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.
Binge days defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurred. As assessed by clinical interview based on participant binge diary.
Binge days defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurred. As assessed by clinical interview based on subject binge diary.
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.
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if it had a start date on or after, or had a start date before but increased in severity after the first dose of investigational product.
Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire is a tool designed to screen the most common sleep problems in children, and consists of 33 items for scoring. The instrument evaluates the child's sleep based on behavior within 8 different subscales: bedtime resistance, sleep-onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night walkings, 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, daytime sleepiness: 8 to 24, and total disturbance (items from all scales): 33 to 99.
The C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behaviour occurred. 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 answer to the first 2 ideation questions was "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.
The MWT was conducted to determine the subjects' ability to stay awake. Subjects sat in a darkened room and were told to "stay awake as long as possible" during the 30 minute session. This is an indicator of how well you are able to function and remain alert in quiet times of inactivity. Higher times are better.
BRIEF-A Global Executive Composite assesses behavioral aspects of executive function. Items are rated 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), and 3 (often). There is no range for a total score. Raw scale scores are used to generate T-scores. A reduction in score indicates less impairment.
The SANS was modified by eliminating the global and attention items; the score of the remaining non-global items is referred to as the SANS-18 total score. Each of the 18-items is scored on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 5 (severe) with a total scoring range of 0 to 90. Higher scores indicate more impairment.

Blood pressure and pulse measurements were taken using an automated blood pressure monitoring device (ideally using the same device, the same arm and in the same position throughout the study). Measurements of vital signs were performed in triplicate (3 measurements) after the subject had been in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes. Each of the 3 triplicate readings were performed in succession, at least 1-2 minutes apart, with the cuff fully deflated between measurements. It was expected that the triplicate measurements be obtained within a 5-6 minute period.
