Background: Stimulants remain the mainstay of treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but are often associated with insufficient response or poor tolerability, leading to many patients not wishing to be treated with controlled substances. Aims: This randomized, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study (NCT02327013) evaluated the efficacy of a multimodal antidepressant, vortioxetine, in the treatment of ADHD, using a two-stage sequential parallel comparison design…

Given the high effect size found in RCTs of stimulants in terms of efficacy on ADHD core symptoms, it is unlikely that these novel agents will show better efficacy than stimulants, at the group level, however, they may offer comparable or better tolerability.

The findings show that although the overall rate of intentional non-adherence does not change over the course of a clinical trial, study volunteers who deliberately chose not to take their first dose had a mean intentionalNon-adherent rate five times higher than that observed among those who were first dose adherent.
