Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether solriamfetol, taken once daily, can reduce ADHD symptoms in children aged 6 to under 12. Over 6 weeks, researchers compare the drug against a placebo using a standard rating scale. The goal is to see if solriamfetol is a safe and effective treatment option for this age group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
solriamfetol capsules taken once daily
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new daily medication option for managing ADHD symptoms in young children.
What could go wrong
This is a short 6-week trial, so long-term safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The drug may not work better than placebo.
