Primary outcome
The primary objective of this study is to provide access to SPD503 following
participation in SPD503-315 or SPD503-316.
The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of
SPD503. The evaluation of safety will be based on the occurrence of TEAEs,
specific evaluation of vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and the
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) results. Additionally, the
effects on growth will be assessed.
The C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurrence,
severity, and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviours during the
assessment phase. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to
solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related
thought or behaviour occurred.
The primary endpoints of this study are the long-term safety of SPD503 as
follows:
* Occurrence of TEAEs
* Specific evaluation of BP and pulse
* ECG results
* C-SSRS
* Effects on growth will be assessed.
Secondary outcome
* The ADHD-Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) consists of 18 items designed to
reflect current symptomatology of ADHD based on DSM-IV-TR criteria. The scale
will be sub-divided into 2 subscales of 9 items each: hyperactivity/impulsivity
and inattentiveness.
* The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale permits a global evaluation of a
subject*s severity of illness, and will be carried out at all visits.
The secondary efficacy endpoints of the study are listed below:
* The change from baseline in ADHD-RS-IV total score and the
hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention subscale scores at each of Visits 3
19. Baseline will be defined in 2 ways; firstly as the Baseline Visit from the
antecedent study, and secondly as Visit 2 from this study.
* The CGI-S at each of Visits 2 19
Background summary
The symptoms and subsequent impairment associated with ADHD are increasingly
being recognised as a lifetime disease.
While the SPD503 clinical program has studied the efficacy, safety, and
tolerability of SPD503 in treating core symptoms of ADHD in children and
adolescents aged 6-17 years, the majority of the controlled studies have been
of short duration (up to 8 weeks). Two, 2-year, open-label studies have
confirmed the safety and ongoing efficacy in this patient population. Study
SPD503-318 has been designed to provide up to 2 years access to SPD503 for
European subjects who participated in study SPD503-315 or SPD503-316,
Study objective
The primary objective of this study is to provide access to SPD503 following
participation in SPD503-315 or SPD503-316.
The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of
SPD503. The evaluation of safety will be based on the occurrence of TEAEs,
specific evaluation of vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and the
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) results. Additionally, the
effects on growth will be assessed.
The C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurrence,
severity, and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviours during the
assessment phase. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to
solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related
thought or behaviour occurred.
Study design
This study is a Phase 3, multicentre, open-label study designed to provide
access to SPD503. Children and adolescents (aged 6-17 years of age inclusive
at time of consent in the antecedent SPD503 Studies SPD503-315 or SPD503-316)
who have been diagnosed with ADHD will be enrolled and treated with SPD503 for
up to 104 weeks.
The study will have 4 phases: (1) a 3-35 day Screening Phase including washout;
(2) a 102-week Treatment Phase comprising a 7 week Dose Optimisation Period and
a 95-week Maintenance Period; (3) a 2-week Dose taper Period; and (4) a Safety
Follow-up Period including a Safety Follow-up Visit (7 [+2] days after the last
dose of investigational product. Subjects will be required to visit the site a
maximum of 21scheduled times during the study.
Subjects will be screened to establish eligibility for study participation.
Subjects should have completed the Dose-taper and Safety Follow-up Visits of
their antecedent study and will therefore be eligible for screening after a
minimum of 1 week following their last dose in the antecedent study. The
Screening Visit for this study can occur as early as the Dose-taper Visit for
the antecedent study. Those who meet eligibility requirements will undergo
medication washout, if applicable.
Subjects enrolling from SPD503-315 must have a gap in treatment of *7 days
between their last dose in Study SPD503-315 and first dose in this study.
Subjects enrolling from SPD503-316 must have a gap in treatment of *30 days,
between their last dose in Study SPD503-316 and first dose in this study.
During the 7 week Dose Optimisation Period, visits will be scheduled every 7
days (* 2 days) to assess safety and tolerability, and to allow clinicians to
titrate subjects to their optimal dose of SPD503 based on clinical judgement of
tolerability and efficacy (using a review of treatment emergent adverse events
(TEAEs), and changes in CGI-S and ADHD-RS-IV scores). All subjects will be
started at 1mg and may be titrated in weekly increments of 1mg until an optimal
dose is reached. Children aged 6 12 years will not be permitted to titrate
above 4mg/day and adolescents aged 13 years and older will not be permitted to
titrate above the maximum allowed daily dose per their weight group below:
* 25.0-41.4kg = maximum of 4mg/day
* 41.5-49.4kg = maximum of 5mg/day
* 49.5-58.4kg = maximum of 6mg/day
* 58.5kg and above = maximum of 7mg/day.
Following titration to an optimal dose of SPD503, subjects will continue into
the Maintenance Period with daily treatment with SPD503 for the next 95 weeks
with visits in intervals of 4 weeks, 12 weeks, or 14 weeks. During the
Maintenance Period, the Investigator may make further dose adjustments as
needed based upon TEAEs and the clinical judgement of tolerability and efficacy
(using a review of TEAEs, and changes in CGI-S and ADHD RS-IV scores). These
dose adjustments may be to a higher dose, based on the subject*s current age
and weight. Children who turn 13 years or older during the Maintenance Period
may be permitted to increase the dose above 4mg/day based on their current
weight. The dose may be increased or decreased by 1mg at any scheduled or
unscheduled visit during the study if deemed appropriate by the Investigator.
Upon completion or early withdrawal, all subjects will undergo a 2-week
Dose-taper Period to down titrate their dose.
A follow-up visit will occur for all subjects 7 (+2) days after the last dose
of investigational product to follow up on safety assessments including any
adverse events (AEs)/serious adverse events (SAEs) that were ongoing at the
previous visit, and changes in concomitant medications. Adverse events/SAEs
occurring up to the time of the follow-up visit will be captured. Appropriate
follow-up should continue until all safety concerns, in the Investigator*s
opinion, are resolved.
Intervention
The Sponsor will provide SPD503 (extended release guanfacine hydrochloride) in
1, 2, 3, and 4mg strength tablets. During the study, subjects will be
instructed to take 1 or more tablets daily upon awakening according to their
age and weight. For subjects 25.0-41.4kg the maximum dose is 4mg, 41.5-49.4kg
the maximum dose is 5mg, 49.5-58.4kg the maximum dose is 6mg, 58.5kg or greater
the maximum dose is 7mg. For children aged 6 12 years, the maximum dose will
be 4mg, regardless of weight.
Study burden and risks
Patients will take part in the study for maximum 105 weeks (21 visits) During
the study the patients will be subjected to the procedures as described under
question E4. A detailed description of the patient load is included in
appendix 2 of the informed consent.
Taking SPD503 may cause side effects or possible discomfort. Serious side
effects, considered related to the study drug, that have been reported are
seizure, low blood pressure while standing and fainting. An overview of the
risks is also described in appendix 3 of the informed consent.
