Brief Summary:
The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of PRC-063 in adults with ADHD
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| ADHD | Drug: Placebo Drug: PRC-063 25 mg Drug: PRC-063 45 mg Drug: PRC-063 70 mg Drug: PRC-063 100 mg | Phase 3 |
This study is a randomized, phase III, multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, forced-dose titration in which adult subjects (18 years of age or older) with ADHD will be randomized to PRC-063 (25, 45, 70 or 100 mg) or placebo for four weeks of double-blind evaluation of safety and efficacy. The study will have four phases: (1) screening and 1-week washout; (2)baseline and double-blind, forced-dose titration over a 2-week period; (3) double-blind evaluation over a 2-week period; and (4) a 14-day safety follow-up. Subjects will be required to visit the site 6 times over a 5 week period.
Screening and Washout: Subjects will be screened to establish eligibility for study participation. Subjects who meet eligibility requirements will undergo ADHD medication washout, if applicable.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change From Baseline in Clinician-administered ADHD-5-Rating Scale Total Score [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]Participants were monitored for 4 weeks on treatment (final 2 weeks on stable dose). Clinicians rated subject behavior on the ADHD-5-Rating Scale each week. Primary outcome was based on the final week of treatment. The ADHD-5-RS is an 18-item questionnaire that measures the frequency of ADHD symptoms based on DSM-5 criteria. For each item, clinicians rate how often the behavior is displayed on a scale of 0 (Never or Rarely) to 3 (Very Often). Scores can range from 0 to 54, with lower scores indicating a lower frequency of ADHD symptoms.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Having an allergy to methylphenidate or amphetamines or a history of serious adverse reactions to methylphenidate.
- Known to be non-responsive to methylphenidate treatment. Non-response is defined as methylphenidate use at various doses for a phase of at least four weeks at each dose with little or no clinical benefit.
