Summary:
The LEAGUE Study for Children and Teenagers with ADHD
Learning that your 6- to 17-year-old child has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is challenging. It may leave you wondering what options are available for your child.
What is the purpose of the clinical research study?
The LEAGUE Study is being conducted to see if it may help people with ADHD who have found other treatments ineffective, or who cannot take them due to side effects. The investigational drug being evaluated in the LEAGUE Study is a nonstimulant but has a different mechanism of action to previous ADHD treatments. This means that it works along a different pathway in the body.
Who can participate?
With your permission as a parent or legal guardian, your child may qualify for the LEAGUE Study if he or she is 6 to 17 years old with diagnosed ADHD and has previously had unsuccessful treatment with stimulant therapy. The LEAGUE Study is expected to last for up to 2 years.
There are other requirements for participation that the study doctor and staff will explain to you in detail during the informed consent process.
