Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

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).

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.

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)

Treatment failure defined as 50% increase (worsening) in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS-IV) total score and \>= 2 point increase (worsening) in the Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score observed at any visit during the randomized withdrawal period compared to the respective scores at baseline of randomized withdrawal period. Subjects without an endpoint value were classed as treatment failures.

Change From Baseline in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at up to 7 Weeks
Baseline and up to 7 weeks

The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54. A decrease in score indicates an improvement in ADHD symptomology.

Change From Baseline (From the Antecedent Study, SPD489-305) in the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale, Fourth Edition (ADHD-RS-IV) Total Score at up to 52 Weeks
Baseline and up to 52 weeks

The ADHD-RS-IV consists of 18 items scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (severe symptoms) with total score ranging from 0 to 54.

Change From Baseline in Log Transformed Binge Days Per Week at Week 11
Baseline and week 11

Binge day is defined as a day during which at least 1 binge episode occurs.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) for Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate
Up to 96 hours post-dose

AUC can be used as a measure of drug exposure. It is derived from drug concentration and time so it gives a measure how much and how long a drug stays in a body.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate
Up to 96 hours post-dose

Cmax is a term that refers to the maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in the body after the drug has been administrated.

AUC for D-amphetamine
Up to 96 hours post-dose

d-Amphetamine is a metabolite of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate and is an active form that is responsible for the drug's therapeutic activity.

Cmax for D-amphetamine
Up to 96 hours-post-dose

d-Amphetamine is a metabolite of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate and is an active form that is responsible for the drug's therapeutic activity.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate

What is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate used for?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is used for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Binge Eating Disorder, and in healthy volunteers for clinical studies. It is a small molecule being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TAK). The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for these psychiatric conditions.

What does Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate target?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is a central nervous system stimulant that works by increasing the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. It is a prodrug that is converted to dextroamphetamine, which targets the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine. This mechanism is thought to improve attention and reduce impulsivity in ADHD and binge eating disorder.

Who makes Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. The drug is being investigated for ADHD and Binge Eating Disorder. Takeda is conducting clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy in these indications.

What phase is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate in?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The clinical program includes completed trials in healthy volunteers, ADHD, and Binge Eating Disorder, with a total enrollment of 1,293 participants across all studies.

What clinical trials is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate in?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate has been studied in several completed clinical trials. These include NCT00746733 in healthy volunteers, NCT01010750 in adults with ADHD, NCT01291173 in adults with Binge Eating Disorder, and NCT01890785 in healthy volunteers. All trials were conducted in the United States and were placebo-controlled and double-blind.

Is Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate the same as Vyvanse?

Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate is the active ingredient in the brand-name medication Vyvanse.
