Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether viloxazine extended-release capsules, taken once daily, can safely reduce ADHD symptoms in Korean children and adolescents aged 6 to 17. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 8 weeks, with doses adjusted based on response. The study measures changes in ADHD rating scores to see if the medication works better than a placebo.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
viloxazine extended-release capsules
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new once-daily medication option for managing ADHD symptoms in Korean children and adolescents.
What could go wrong
This is a bridging trial with a relatively small sample size (156 participants) and short duration (8 weeks), so results may not generalize to broader populations or long-term use. Side effects are possible, as with any medication.

Inclusion Criteria 1. Korean male or female subjects who are ≥6 and ≤17 years of age at the time of written informed consent. 2. Subjects with a primary diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), confirmed by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID) at Visit 1 (Screening). 3. Subjects with a Korean ADHD Rating Scale, 5th Edition (K-ARS-5) Total Score of ≥28 at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline). 4. Subjects with a Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score of ≥4 at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline). 5. Subjects who meet the following body weight criteria at Visit 1 (Screening): * 6 to 11 years of age: ≥20 kg. * 12 to 17 years of age: ≥35 kg. 6. Subjects who agree not to initiate or take any ADHD medication other than the investigational medicinal product during the study. Subjects who are taking ADHD medication at Visit 1 (Screening) but whose ADHD symptoms are not adequately controlled with their current ADHD medication, as demonstrated by meeting Inclusion Criterion 3, may participate if they meet all other inclusion/exclusion criteria and have discontinued ADHD medication at least 7 days before Visit 2 (Baseline). 7. Subjects considered suitable for participation in the clinical trial by the investigator based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and ECG assessments, meeting all of the following criteria: * Clinical laboratory tests: Results are within the normal range or, if outside the normal range, are not considered clinically significant. However, eGFR must be ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m², AST and ALT must be \<3 × upper limit of normal (ULN), and total bilirubin must be \<2 × ULN. * Vital signs: Blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature are within the normal range or, if outside the normal range, are not considered clinically significant. * 12-lead ECG: No clinically significant abnormal findings. 8. Subjects whose legally authorized representative(s), or parent(s), and the subject, as applicable, voluntarily agree to participate in this clinical trial and provide written informed consent/assent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects who are currently taking viloxazine, who previously took viloxazine for the treatment of ADHD but discontinued it due to adverse reactions or lack of efficacy, or who have a history of allergic reaction, hypersensitivity\*, or intolerance to viloxazine extended-release capsules or any of their excipients. \*Hypersensitivity-related excipients: lactose, sucrose, Yellow No. 5 (Sunset Yellow FCF), and Yellow No. 203 (Quinoline Yellow WS). 2. Subjects who, at Screening according to the MINI-KID, are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder other than ADHD as the primary diagnosis, or who have a comorbid psychiatric disorder secondary to ADHD that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with treatment adherence to the investigational medicinal product or affect study results. However, subjects with a history of Major Depressive Disorder may be eligible if no episode has occurred within 6 months prior to the Screening visit. 3. Subjects with a history of diagnosis of significant central nervous system (CNS) disease or neuromuscular disease, including: * CNS diseases, such as brain tumors, inflammatory CNS diseases, epilepsy, or cerebrovascular diseases. * Neuromuscular diseases with childhood onset, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy or myasthenia gravis. * History of seizures, seizure-like symptoms, such as syncope, myoclonus, or severe muscle spasms, family history of seizure disorders in first-degree relatives, parents or siblings, and/or febrile convulsions. * Other CNS or neuromuscular diseases that, in the investigator's medical judgment, may affect participation in the clinical trial. 4. Subjects with a history of diagnosis of medically significant systemic disease. 5. Subjects with a history of suicidal plan/intent, suicidal ideation, or one or more suicide attempts within 6 months prior to the Screening visit. 6. Subjects whose BMI exceeds the 95th percentile for age and sex at the Screening visit. 7. Subjects who have taken any of the following medications within the specified period prior to the first dose of investigational medicinal product at Visit 2 (Baseline): * Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within 14 days prior to the randomization visit. * CYP1A2 substrate drugs, such as theophylline, melatonin, olanzapine, or duloxetine, within 7 days prior to the randomization visit. 8. Pregnant or breastfeeding females, or females of childbearing potential, defined as those with confirmed menarche, with a positive pregnancy test result at the Baseline visit. 9. Females of childbearing potential, defined as those with confirmed menarche, who do not agree to use adequate contraception during the study period and for 4 weeks after the last dose of the investigational medicinal product. (\*) Adequate contraception includes sexual abstinence, hormonal contraceptives without known drug interactions, intrauterine hormone-releasing systems, such as a levonorgestrel intrauterine system (IUS), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and surgical sterilization, including bilateral tubal ligation, salpingectomy, and vasectomy. However, periodic abstinence methods, such as calendar, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods, use of spermicides alone, lactational amenorrhea method, double barrier methods, simultaneous use of female and male condoms, and withdrawal are not considered acceptable contraception. 10. Subjects with food allergies, intolerances, dietary restrictions, or special diets that, in the investigator's judgment, may make the subject unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial. 11. Subjects who have received or used any other investigational medicinal product or medical device within 30 days prior to Visit 1 (Screening). 12. Subjects who are otherwise considered by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial.
