A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Arm, Multi-Center Study Measuring the Efficacy and Safety of PRC-063 in Adolescent ADHD Patients

The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study is to
evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of PRC-063 in adolescents with ADHD.

This study is a randomized, phase III, multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel-group,
forced-dose titration in which adolescent subjects (12 to 17 years of age inclusive) with
ADHD will be randomized to PRC-063 (25, 45, 70 or 85 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.
