NCT ID NCT05279313
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested the long-term safety of a daily medication called centanafadine in 680 children and teens (ages 4-17) with ADHD. The drug is a non-stimulant capsule taken once a day. Researchers tracked side effects over time to see if it is safe for extended use. The trial is already completed, and results will help doctors understand if this is a good long-term treatment option.
