A 6-week Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind, Parallel, Fixed-dose Study of MG01CI (Metadoxine Immediate-release/Slow-release, Bilayer Caplet) 1400 mg Compared With Placebo in Adults With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This study is a multisite, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2/3 study of
MG01CI (1400 mg daily) for 6 weeks compared with placebo in a 1:1 ratio of 300 adults with
ADHD.
MG01CI (1400 mg daily) for 6 weeks compared with placebo in a 1:1 ratio of 300 adults with
ADHD.
This study is a multisite, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2/3 study of
MG01CI (1400 mg once daily) for 6 weeks compared with placebo in a 1:1 ratio of 300 adults
with ADHD. The study comprises a Screening Visit at which initial assessment will be made
and then a Washout Period during which prospective subjects must discontinue ADHD medication
for 14 days (for psychotropic medications other than fluoxetine) or for 28 days (for
fluoxetine) before randomization into the study. The Washout Period is 14 days, but may be
extended to 28 days for a fluoxetine washout. Subjects requiring either a 14-day or a 28-day
Washout Period will have an Interim Visit (off drug) on or about Day -8 (Day -10 to Day -3)
for CAARS-Inv assessment after the Washout Period. The Baseline CAARS Inv assessment will be
conducted on Day 0. If there is a ≥25% change in the CAARS-Inv results between the Interim
Visit (off drug) assessment and the Baseline assessment, or if the subject does not return
for the Baseline CAARS-Inv assessment, the subject will not be randomized. For subjects not
needing washout, if there is a ≥25% change in the CAARS-Inv results between the Screening
Visit assessment and the Baseline assessment, or if the subject does not return for the
Baseline CAARS-Inv assessment, the subject will not be randomized. Following the Washout
Period for those requiring a washout, or following the Screening Visit for those subjects
who do not require a washout, eligible subjects will undergo baseline assessments and be
randomized on Day 0 to MG01CI 1400 mg or to matching placebo and begin the Double-blind
Treatment Period. The Double-blind Treatment Period will be 6 weeks in duration. There will
be a 2-week Follow-up Period after the last dose of study treatment or early termination.
