Previously, data from 97 weeks of open-label atomoxetine treatment of adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were reported. This final report of that study presents results from over 4 years of treatment.
Results were derived from the study of 384 patients (125 patients remaining in the open-label trial since the interim report), receiving up to 221 weeks of treatment. Primary efficacy measure was the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale-Investigator Rated: Screening Version (CAARS-Inv:SV) Total ADHD Symptom score. Adverse events and vital signs were assessed.
CAARS-Inv:SV Total ADHD Symptom scores decreased 30.2% (p < .001) during treatment. Similar, significant decreases were noted for the secondary efficacy measures, including the Sheehan Disability Scale Total score, which improved 25.3% (p < .001). Adverse events consisted primarily of pharmacologically (noradrenergic) expected effects.
Results of this open-label study support the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of atomoxetine for the treatment of adult ADHD.
此前,已有关于成人注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)患者接受97周开放标签托莫西汀治疗的数据报道。本研究的最终报告展示了超过4年治疗期的结果。
结果源自对384例患者的研究(自中期报告以来,有125例患者仍留在开放标签试验中),这些患者接受了长达221周的治疗。主要疗效指标为康纳斯成人ADHD评定量表-研究者评定:筛查版(CAARS-Inv:SV)ADHD症状总分。对不良事件和生命体征进行了评估。
治疗期间,CAARS-Inv:SV ADHD症状总分下降了30.2%(p <.001)。次要疗效指标也出现了类似的显著下降,包括希恩残疾量表总分改善了25.3%(p <.001)。不良事件主要由药理学上(去甲肾上腺素能)预期的效应组成。
这项开放标签研究的结果支持托莫西汀治疗成人ADHD的长期疗效、安全性和耐受性。
