What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Symptoms Total Score of the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS)
Time frame: from baseline to 13 weeks
The primary endpoint was the change in the ADHD symptoms total score of the investigator-rated CAARS from baseline to the last assessment in the double-blind treatment period. CAARS assesses ADHD symptoms and behaviors in adults using a scale ranging from 0 (best) to 54 (worst). For subjects without a post-baseline efficacy measurement, a change of 0 units was imputed.
Sponsor's own description
