`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Objectives: This investigation was conducted primarily to assess the safety and efficacy of SLI381 (Adderall XR‘“),
`developed as a once-daily treatment for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Secondary objec-
`tives included examination of the time course. pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties of SLI381. Method:
`
`This was a randomized, double-blind, crossover study of three doses of SLI381 (10, 20, and 30 mg), placebo, and an active
`control (Adderall® 10 mg) given once daily to 51 children with ADHD. Weekly assessments in an analog classroom set-
`ting included blind ratings of attention and deportment and a pertormance measure (math test) obtained every 1.5 hours
`over a 12-hour period. Results: SLI381 was well tolerated. All active treatment conditions displayed significant time
`course effects and were superior to placebo in improving efficacy measures. Dose-dependent improvements were evi-
`dent for SLI381. SLI381 20 and 30 mg and Adderall all showed rapid improvements by 1.5 hours, but only the SLI381 20-
`and 30-mg doses showed continued activity at 10.5 and 12 hours for classroom behavior and math test pertormance
`versus placebo. Conclusions: These data provide support for the benefit of this novel, once-daily amphetamine prepa-
`ration in the treatment of ADHD. The longer duration of action of SLI381 has the potential to simplify psychostimulant
`dosing, thus reducing dose diversion and eliminating the need for in-school administration. SLI381 appears to be a use-
`ful treatment option for many children with ADHD. J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc. Psychiatry, 2003, 42(6):673—683. Key

`Pelham et al., 1990; Spencer et al., 1996; Swanson et al.,
`1978; Weiss et al., 1971). However, clinical experience
`and a variety of research data suggest that there is a con-
`tinued need to develop strategies to optimize these treat-
`ments, especially as they are applied in community practice
`settings. Specifically, the short duration of action of avail—
`able stimulants necessitates multiple daily doses for many
`children to provide effective symptom management
`(l’elham et 31., 1987; Swanson et al., 1978). Some have
`suggested the brief duration of action may undercut the
`possible long-term benefit of stimulant treatment (Schachar
`and Sugarman, 2000). Clinically, children with ADHD
`often experience difficulty with evening homework require-
`ments and less structured family routines, requiring addi—
`tional medication later in the day. The complexity of
`multiple daily dosing schedules contributes to reduced
`compliance and may increase the likelihood of drug diver—
`sion. Both practice patterns and poor compliance also
`serve to reduce the overall benefit of psychostimulant

`
`treatment of many children with ADHD (Brown et al.,
`1987; Kauffman et al., 1981; MTA Cooperative Group,
`1999). Therefore, there is a need to develop drug deliv—
`ery systems that can effectively treat ADHD symptoms
`with a single daily dose.
`In spite of the frequency of use of amphetamine-con—
`taining products for the treatment of ADHD, there is a
`surprising paucity of studies on the pharmacokinetic (PK)
`and behavioral time course of effects of low—dose amphet—
`atnine administration for ADHD (Brown et a1, 1979, 1980;
`I’elham et al., 1999; Swanson et al., 1998). The current
`study describes the efficacy, tolerability, and detailed time
`course of SL1381 (Adderall XRT”), a unique drug delivery
`system containing the mixture of amphetamine salts con-
`tained in a currently approved treatment, Adderall®, on
`symptoms ofADHD in a sample ofchildren with ADHD.
`Adderall is a racemic mixture of dextro— and levo-isomers
`
`of amphetamine composed of equal parts of ampheta—
`mine salts (d—amphetamine sulfate, d—amphetamine sac—
`charate, oil—amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, and
`£1, [-amphetamine sulfate). The mixture yields a 3:1 ratio
`of dextro— to levo-isomers of amphetamine. A previous
`analog classroom pharmacodynamic study of Adderall
`documented the time course of behavioral and classroom
`
`performance effects across a dose range of 5 to 20 mg
`given once, with behavioral effects evident up to approx—
`imately 5 to 7 hours postdose for the highest dose con—
`dition (Swanson et a1., 1998). Pelham et a1. (1999) studied
`Adderall effects in a summer treatment program and
`found apparent benefits up to 7 hours after administra-
`tion. James er al. (2001) recently described locomotor
`activity effects of amphetamine preparations up to 12
`hours postdose, but they did not repeatedly probe dis—
`ruptive behavior or academic performance. It is interest—
`ing that the Swanson er al. (1998) report also demonstrated
`the pattern of deterioration on placebo in performance
`across morning into afternoon assessments, highlighting
`the importance of providing appropriate control groups
`for time-response studies.
`This study was aimed to systematically evaluate the effi-
`cacy and tolerability ofSl,1381 as a treatment for ADHD,
`using an analog classroom observational procedure. SLI381
`is designed to release two pulses of active medication,
`modeling the PK profile of Adderall administered twice
`daily with doses administered approximately 4 hours apart.
`A 20-mg dose of SL1381 is bioequivalent to Adderall 10
`mg b.i.d., with a 4—hour interval (Michaels et al., 2001).
`In addition, the study adds to the literature on the behav—
`
`ioral and cognitive effects of amphetamines in children
`with ADHD.
`
`METHOD
`
`The study was conducted at four academic sites under local Lllll-
`versity human subject protection committee approval. Subjects were
`recruited at the four sites through a combination ofadvertising and
`distribution of information about study participation at local outpa-
`tient clinics. All subjects provided written assent for study participa—
`tion; parents provided written consent for their child‘s enrollment.
`Families were compensated $50 for participation in each all-day ana»
`log classroom day.
`
`Subjects
`
`Potential subjects were screened to meet the following eligibility
`criteria: (1) age 6 to 12 years; (2) diagnosis ofDSM—IVADHD (com-
`bined or hyperactive-impulsive subtype as determined by a compre-
`hensive clinician evaluation and selected modules of the Diagnostic
`Interview Schedule for Children, Version IV—Lifetime [DISC—1V1)
`(Shaffer et al., 2000) administered by a research staff member with
`suitable training; (3) no evidence of mental retardation; and (4) his-
`tory of positive response to psycltostimnlant medication, or no prior
`stimulant treatment. Information pertaining to co-occurring psy-
`chopathology from the clinical evaluation was supplemented by the
`Comorbid Disorders Checklist (Hudziak et al., 1993), a pflfem‘FCPOYt
`questionnaire composed ofDSM—III—R symptom items. All diagnoses
`were based on DS/W—IVcriteria. Subjects were excluded if they met
`criteria for any of the following: (1) comorbid psychiatric conditions
`including psychosis, pervasive developmental disorder, bipolar disor—
`der; (2) severe obsessive—compulsive disorder, severe depressive or anx-
`iety disorder (severe defined as any comorbid disorder with impairment
`necessitating concurrent treatment of any type); (3) a clinically sig-
`nificant medical condition (eg, seizure disorder, hypertension, abnor-
`mal laboratory test result); (4) need for ongoing medical treatment;
`(5) intolerance of psychostimulants; (6) history of nonresponse to
`Adderall; or (7) history ofa tie disorder. A total of 51 subjects met all
`eligibility criteria and provided consent for participation. The char—
`acteristics of the sample are listed in Table 1.
`
`Study Design
`
`Following screening and a 1—week washout period with discontin-
`ttation of previous stimulant medication, 51 eligible subjects were
`enrolled and assessed in an analog classroom setting on 7 consecutive
`Saturdays. The first prerandomization study day involved the open—
`label administration of 20 mg ofSLl381 to all subjects with repeated
`plasma sampling for [K analyses to assess individual tolerability to the
`drug, to acquire data on SLI381’s I’K profile, and to familiarize sub-
`jects with the research environment and procedures. The study design
`which followed the first study day was randomized, double—blind,
`crossover, placebo- and active-controlled. Subjects who tolerated the
`initial study day and exposure to SL138] were then randomly assigned
`in a crossover design to each of five treatment weeks: SLI381 10 mg
`(equivalent to Adderall 5 mg b.i.d. with a 4-hour dosing interval),
`SL138] 20 mg (equivalent to Adderall 10 mg b.i.d.). SL138] 30 mg
`(equivalent to Adderall 15 mg b.i.d.), Adderall 10 mg, and placebo,
`each administered daily at 7:30 A.M. A Latin square design was used
`to determine the randomization sequence for individual subjects for
`the first 5 weeks with approximately one fifth of the sample random-
`ized to each of five treatment sequences. Randomization schedules

`were generated by the sponsor of the study and distributed to the on-
`site research pharmacists. A sixth treatment week was included as a
`potential makeup week and as a week for additional PK sampling across
`all treatment groups, and treatment assignment was handled by a sep—
`arate procedure. Those subjects who had not completed one of the
`five randomly assigned treatment conditions were assigned to the missed
`condition during the final week; those subjects who had completed all
`prior treatment weeks were randomly assigned to repeat one of the live
`treatment conditions. All subjects were invited to return for the final
`analog classroom session. During the final analog classroom day of the
`makeup week, PK sampling was again performed on all subjects.
`
`Pharmacokinetic Sampling
`
`When a subject arrived at the laboratory for study visits 1 and 7, an
`indwelling catheter was inserted into an antccubital vein for plasma
`sampling. PK samples were obtained at predose, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5.
`9, 10.5, 12, and 24 hours after administration ofSL1381. Concentrations
`of d- and l-amphetamine were assayed using validated liquid
`Chromatography—mass spectroscopy methodology at a central labora—
`tory. Results of the PK analyses will be presented in a separate report.
`
`Analog Classroom Protocol
`
`Subjects were assessed in groups of children during consecutive
`analog Classroom study days held on Saturdays at each site. The sched-
`ule and procedures for the analog classroom days were based on a
`modification of well—validated procedures used in previous time—
`response stimulant studies (Pelham ct al., 1995; Swanson et 211., 1978,
`1998, 2000). On each classroom day, subjects were instructed to arrive
`at the laboratory at approximately 7:00 A.M.; they remained until
`7:30 or 8200 PM. All subjects were administered study material cap-
`sules by study physicians at 7:30 AM. The daily schedule consisted
`
`ANALOG CLASSROOM ASSESSMliN'l' OP ADDERALI. XR
`
`of alternating classroom, play, meals or snacks, and research activi—
`ties, with a classroom period scheduled every 1.5 hours, beginning
`immediately after morning dose administration and recurring at 1.5,
`4.5, 6.0, 7.5, 9.0, 10.5, and 12.0 hours after administration. To allow
`extra recess time for study subjects, no classroom (efiicacy assessment)
`period was scheduled at 3.0 hours. Each classroom period lasted a
`total of 45 minutes and was directed by two teachers for the group
`of 10 to 15 subjects. In addition, each classroom contained two observers
`who simultaneously rated the behaviors of one half of the study group,
`rising a behavioral observation system described previously (Swanson
`et al., 1998, 2000). All classroom raters had completed reliability train—
`ing for behavioral assessments. Outside of the classroom period, a
`separate group of research staff (counselors) directed and supervised
`subjects’ activities. To avoid confounding observation of medication
`effects, no behavioral or other treatment approaches were used dur—
`ing the analog classroom days.
`
`Dependent Measures
`
`Several primary and secondary efficacy measures were obtained
`during the study. Primary efficacy variables included the Swanson,
`Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and l’elham (SKAMI’) scale Attention and
`Deportment variables (Swanson et al., 2000), as completed by the
`classroom raters during each classroom period. Test-retest reliability
`and concurrent validity ofthe SKAMP are high (Wigal et al., 1998).1n
`addition, academic performance was assessed using :1 Permanent Product
`Measure of Performance (PERMP). a 10—minute age—appropriate math
`test that was scored [0 yield absolute number of problems attempted
`and problems correct (Swanson er al., 2000). These measures have
`been shown to be sensitive to both dosage and time effects in prior
`stimulant research (Swanson et .11., 1998).
`Secondary measures included a global behavior rating scale (Parent
`Global Assessment) that parents were instructed to complete at mid—
`week during each of the six treatment weeks. Parents also completed
`a weeldy Side Effect Rating Scale specific to stimulant treatment. l‘iach
`analog classroom day, teachers completed the Teacher Side Effect
`Rating Scale and adverse events were noted by study physicians or
`research staff.
`
`Data Analysis
`
`Statistical analyses were conducted on the primary efficacy vari—
`ables using a mixed—effects analysis ofvariance (ANOVA) model, with
`fixed-effect terms of treatment (placebo, SL1381 10, 20, 30 mg, and
`Adderall 10 mg), period (weeks 1 through 5). session (0.5, 1.5, 4.5,
`6, 7.5, 9, 10.5, 12 hours postdose), and treatment—by—session inter-
`action. In those cases in which the overall treatment—by—session effect
`was significant (p < .05), additional comparisons of individual treat-
`ments versus placebo were performed with pairwise comparisons of
`individual means. As no evidence for possible carryover effects were
`noted (which would reduce drug—placebo or dose—dependent improve—
`ments), no secondary analyses for carryover effects were performed.
`All]; values reported are two»tailed.
`
`RESULTS
`
`Fifty—one children were enrolled in the study. The mean
`age of the total sample was 9.5 ($1.9) years. The sample
`consisted of 44 boys and 7 girls. The subjects had a mean
`duration of prior psychostimulant medication treatment
`of 1.7 (:17) years. Of those children with a history of

`stimulant treatment at the time of study screening, 30
`(59%) were receiving methylphenidate and 17 (3300)
`were receiving an amphetamine—containing medication.
`Demographics and other characteristics of the sample are
`shown in Table 1.
`
`Of the 51 eligible children who attended the practice
`day, 2 children dropped out because of withdrawal of con—
`sent. Forty—nine children were randomized for the crossover
`treatment portion of the study. Of the 49 randomized sub—
`jects, 47 (92.2%) completed the 5 weeks of the double-
`blind portion of the study (all treatment conditions), with
`2 subjects withdrawing (1 because ofstomachache and I
`after developing an exclusion criterion). A total of 44
`(86.300) children completed the entire protocol, includ—
`ing the extra or “makeup” week. Of the 3 children (5.9%)
`withdrawing during the final week, 2 withdrew because
`of an adverse event (1 subject while receiving placebo and
`1 subject while receiving SL138] 20 mg); 1 additional
`subject withdrew because of withdrawal of consent.
`After each Saturday analog classroom session, med—
`ication was provided to patents in the form of six cap—
`sules for the coming week. Compliance during the study
`was assessed weekly by return of medication bottle and
`review with the patent. Nearly all patients (96%) were
`compliant with study treatment, defined as administra-
`tion of 80% to 100% of prescribed study medication
`based on investigative site capsule counts.
`The overall mixed-model ANOVA for the intent-to—
`
`treat population on all four of the primary efficacy vari-
`ables, SKAMP Attention and Deportment and math
`problems attempted and problems correct, showed highly
`significant effects of treatment (81.1381 10, 20, 30 mg,
`Adderall 10 mg, versus placebo), period (week), session
`(time points during 12—hour assessment), and treatment-
`by-session interactions (Table 2). Inclusion of “week” in
`the model controls for influence of order, even though
`analog study sessions were performed 7 days apart, on
`the seventh and final day of each treatment condition,
`thereby avoiding carryover effects.
`
`Given the highly significant treatment-by—session inter—
`action (p < .0001), additional examination of SKAMP
`Attention and Deportment scores demonstrated the im-
`provement associated with active treatments versus placebo
`(Fig. I). As evident in Fig. 1, increasing doses of SL138]
`were associated with larger and consistent improvements
`(decreases in ratings of inattentive and disruptive behav-
`iors) in SKAMP ratings. Applying pairwise mean corn-
`parisons between SL1381 and placebo (Table 3), the SL1381
`30-mg dose showed significant improvement ()3 < .01)
`over placebo at all postdose time points. SL138] 20 mg
`just missed attaining statisrical significance for Attention
`problem ratings at 1.5 hours (p = .0513) and Deportment
`problem ratings at 12 hours (p = .0531), but ratings were
`significant (p < .01) at all other postdose time points.
`SL1381 10 mg demonstrated significant reductions in
`Attention problem ratings at 4.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 10.5 hours
`postdose, Deportment problem ratings from 4.5 to 9.0
`hours postdose. Adderall 10 mg was associated with sig-
`nificant decreases in SKAMP ratings for Attention prob—
`lems from 1.5 to 7.5 hours and for Department problems
`from 1.5 to 10.5 hours postdose. Descriptive data for all
`primary efficacy variables are displayed in Table 4.
`Analysis of the math problem variables also showed
`robust, apparently dose—dependent treatment effects ver—
`sus placebo by session (see Fig. 2, Tables 3 and 4). All active
`treatments were associated with robust increases in prob—
`lems attempted and problems solved versus placebo. SL138]
`20- and 30-mg doses were associated with statistically sig—
`nificant increases in number attempted and number solved
`for all postdose time points through 12 hours. SL138] 10
`mg demonstrated significant increases from 4.5 to 10.5
`hours versus placebo. Adderall 10 mg was found to demon-
`strate increases versus placebo at 1.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 hours
`postdose for number attempted; for number solved sig—
`niIicance was found at the 1.5, 4.5, 6.0, and 9.0 time points.
`Overall, study medications were well tolerated by the
`subjects. No serious side effects were reported or observed.
`Rates of specific adverse events by condition as reported by
`parents are shown in Table 5. Because of the modest sain-
