Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE3

Target enrollment

155 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited by Psychiatrists both at medical clinics and private practices between 13-Jan-2006 and 14-Nov-2006

Subjects who participated in the 42603ATT3002 study and still met all eligibility criteria could enter open-label (OL) phase of this study. Subjects who had received at least 52 weeks of uninterrupted treatment with PR OROS methylphenidate (MPH) and provided informed consent could enter the double-blind phase (DB).45 subjects consented for DB.
