NCT02618434

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SPN-810 in the treatment of impulsive aggression in patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in conjunction with standard ADHD treatment. Approximately 297 subjects aged 6 to 12 years with ADHD and comorbid impulsive aggression will be recruited in this study. The frequency of impulsive aggression behaviors will be assessed as a primary outcome. Additionally, the severity and improvement in impulsive aggression and quality of life measures for the subject and caregiver will be assessed using validated scales.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Efficacy and Safety of SPN-810 on the Frequency of Impulsive Aggression (IA) Measured by the Impulsive Aggression Diary

    The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change (PCHT) in the frequency (unweighted score) of IA behaviors per 7 days in the treatment (titration and maintenance) period relative to the Baseline period calculated over the number of days with non-missing IA diary data. PCHT was then calculated as 100 x (T - B)/B, where T and B are IA behavior frequencies per 7 days during the treatment period (from Day 2 through Visit 6, inclusive) and baseline period (Day ≤1), respectively. The IA behavior frequency per 7 days is defined as (SUM/DAY) x 7, where SUM is the total of the IA behaviors reported in the subject IA diary, and DAY is the number of days with a non-missing IA score in the subject IA diary during the specified study period.

    Daily measure from Visit 2 (Week -2) to Visit 6 (Week 5) for a total of 7 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Effect of SPN-810 on Impulsive Aggression Measured by Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S)

    Baseline/Visit 3 (Day 1), Visit 4 (Week 1), Visit 5 (Week 2), and Visit 6 (Week 5). The total duration of the study was 5 weeks.

  • Effect of SPN-810 on Impulsive Aggression Measured by Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale Investigator Rated

    Visit 4 (Week 1), Visit 5 (Week 2) and Visit 6 (Week 5), a total of 4 weeks

  • Effect of SPN-810 on Impulsive Aggression Measured by Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 28-item (CHQ-PF28)

    Baseline Visit 3 (Day 1) and Visit 6 (Week 5). Total duration of the study was 5 weeks.

  • Effect of SPN-810 on Impulsive Aggression Measured by Parenting Stress Index, Fourth Edition, Short Form (PSI-4-SF)

    Baseline Visit 3 (Day 1) and Visit 6 (Week 5). Total duration of the study was 5 weeks.

  • Effect of SPN-810 on Impulsive Aggression Measured by Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale Caregiver Rated

    Visit 4 (Week 1), Visit 5 (Week 2) and Visit 6 (Week 5), a total of 4 weeks

Interventions

Subjects were randomized to receive SPN-810 9 mg twice each day with food, in addition to the stable dose of the optimized ADHD medication determined from the lead-in period. If initiating treatment before noon, patients should start with the morning dose; if afternoon, the evening dose.
