A Randomized, Phase 3, Double-Blind, Crossover Comparison of Multilayer, Extended-Release Methylphenidate (PRC-063), and Lisdexamfetamine in the Driving Performance of Young Adults With ADHD.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare PRC-063 (multilayer-release methylphenidate) and lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) on the driving performance of young adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study.

Method

Following up to 21 days of each treatment in each treatment course (PRC-063/LDX or LDX/PRC-063), subjects completed a 15-hour driving simulator laboratory assessment. The primary outcome measure was the Tactical Driving Quotient (TDQ) and the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) scale was a secondary outcome measure.

Results

Forty-four subjects completed the study. PRC-063 and LDX had equivalent effects on driving performance through a 15-hour time period (least square mean difference -0.3 [standard error 1.08], 95% confidence interval [-2.4, 1.8], p = .793). Consistent improvement in CGI-I was observed. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar for each treatment sequence.

Conclusions

PRC-063 and LDX had comparable effects on driving performance, from 1 through 15 hours, the last time point measured.

Project description:Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of PRC-063, a once-daily, multilayer, extended-release (ER) formulation of methylphenidate (MPH) hydrochloride, in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children in a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, dose-optimized, placebo-controlled phase 3 study. Methods: Boys and girls aged 6-12 years diagnosed with ADHD were enrolled. During a 6-week, open-label, dose-optimization phase, subjects began treatment at 25 mg/day of PRC-063 and were titrated until an optimal dose (maximum 85 mg/day) was reached. During the double-blind period, subjects were randomized to receive treatment with their optimal dose of PRC-063 or placebo for 1 week. Efficacy was assessed in a laboratory classroom setting on the final day of the double-blind treatment using the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Rating Scale and Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP). Safety was assessed measuring adverse events (AEs), vital signs, and electrocardiograms. Results: The study was completed by 147 subjects. In the primary efficacy analysis, significant improvements were demonstrated with PRC-063 versus placebo (p < 0.0001) when SKAMP-Combined scores were averaged over the 13-hour full-day laboratory classroom (least squares mean difference = -8.6, 95% confidence interval = -10.6 to -6.6). Mean average PERMP-Total scores were also significantly improved with PRC-063 versus placebo at all time points postdose (p < 0.01). The onset of treatment effect was present by 1-hour postdose (the first time point measured) and duration of efficacy was up to and including 13 hours postdose. AEs reported in ≥5% of subjects during the dosing optimization period were decreased appetite, abdominal pain upper, affect lability, weight decreased, headache, irritability, and insomnia. Conclusions: PRC-063 was effective in improving attention and reducing symptoms of ADHD versus placebo and had a rapid onset and extended duration of effect. AEs were consistent to those reported with other ER MPH treatments. Clinical Trial Registry: NCT03172481.

Project description:BackgroundThe effects of stimulant treatment on sleep in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are complex and varied, with some individuals experiencing worsening of sleep but others experiencing improvement.MethodsData from previously reported trials of the clinical efficacy and safety of the long-acting methylphenidate formulation PRC-063 (Adhansia XR® in the USA; Foquest® in Canada) in adults with ADHD were used to evaluate patient-reported sleep outcomes, as captured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and adverse events of insomnia. The trials comprised 4 weeks of randomized, forced-dose PRC-063 treatment at a dose of 0 (placebo), 25, 45, 70, or 100 mg/day followed by an optional 6 months of open-label PRC-063 treatment at an individually optimized dose of 25-100 mg/day.ResultsAt the end of double-blind treatment, PRC-063 (all doses combined; N = 297) showed no significant difference versus placebo (N = 78) in least squares mean change in global PSQI score from baseline (- 0.7 vs. - 1.3; P = 0.0972) or in scores for each of the seven subscales of the PSQI. For patients enrolled in the open-label extension (N = 184), mean ± standard deviation global PSQI score improved from 7.8 ± 3.55 at the end of double-blind treatment to 5.8 ± 3.11 at 1 month and 5.4 ± 3.21 at 6 months (P < 0.0001). A greater proportion of patients were good sleepers (global PSQI score ≤ 5) at the end of the open-label extension (57.3%) than at baseline (20.9%) or at the end of double-blind treatment (26.0%). In a logistic regression analysis, baseline global PSQI score (odds ratio 1.491; P < 0.0001), but not randomized study treatment (P = 0.1428), was a significant predictor of poor sleep (global PSQI score > 5) at the end of double-blind treatment. Adverse event rates for insomnia (15.8 vs. 3.8%) and initial insomnia (6.1 vs. 1.3%) during double-blind treatment were higher for PRC-063 (all doses combined) than for placebo. Two patients receiving PRC-063 in the double-blind study and one patient in the open-label study were withdrawn because of insomnia adverse events.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that, on average, PRC-063 had no significant impact on overall sleep quality in adults with ADHD. Although insomnia was observed as an adverse event, when sleep was measured over time as an outcome in its own right for patients receiving dose-optimized PRC-063 open-label, more patients showed improvement in sleep than deterioration.
