    Co-Authors: Raul R Silva, Ann C Childress, Rafael Muniz, Kevin Mccague, Matthew Brams
    Abstract:

    : The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of extended-release Dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH-ER) to that of d,l-MPH-ER and placebo in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a laboratory classroom setting. This multicenter, double-blind, crossover study randomized 82 children, 6 to 12 years of age, stabilized on a total daily dose to the nearest equivalent of 40 to 60 mg of d,l-MPH or 20 or 30 mg/day of d-MPH. Patients participated in a screening day and practice day, and were randomized to 1 of 10 sequences of all five treatments in five separate periods. Treatments included d-MPH-ER (20 mg/day), d-MPH-ER (30 mg/day), d,l-MPH-ER (36 mg/day), d,l-MPH-ER (54 mg/day), and placebo. Primary efficacy was measured by the change from predose on the Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Rating Scale-Combined scores at 2-h postdose during the 12-h laboratory assessment (d-MPH-ER 20 mg/day vs. d,l-MPH-ER 36 mg/day). Adverse events were monitored throughout the study period. d-MPH-ER (20 mg/day) was significantly more effective than d,l-MPH-ER (36 mg/day) in the primary efficacy variable, change from predose to 2-h postdose in SKAMP-combined score. In general, d-MPH-ER had an earlier onset of action than d,l-MPH-ER, while d,l-MPH-ER had a stronger effect at 12-h postdose. No serious adverse events were reported. Treatment with either agent was associated with significant improvements in ADHD symptoms. d-MPH-ER and d,l-MPH-ER can be differentiated on what part of the day each is more effective.

  • extended release Dexmethylphenidate 30 mg d versus 20 mg d duration of attention behavior and performance benefits in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
    Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Raul R Silva, Matthew Brams, Kevin Mccague, Linda Pestreich, Rafael Muniz
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of Dexmethylphenidate (D-MPH) extended-release (ER) 30 mg and D-MPH-ER 20 mg on attention, behavior, and performance in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, 3-period-by-3-treatment, crossover study, children aged 6 to 12 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder stabilized on methylphenidate (40-60 mg/d) or D-MPH (20-30 mg/d) received D-MPH-ER 20 mg/d, 30 mg/d, and placebo for 7 days each (final dose of each treatment period administered in a laboratory classroom). Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Combined (Attention and Deportment) rating scale and Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) math test assessments were conducted at baseline and 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose. RESULTS: A total of 165 children (94 boys; mean age, 9.6 years) were randomized (162 included in intent-to-treat analyses). Significant improvements were noted for D-MPH-ER 30 mg over D-MPH-ER 20 mg at various late time points on the SKAMP scales (Combined scores at 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose; Attention scores at 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose; deportment scores at 9 and 12 hours postdose). The PERMP math test-attempted and -correct scores (change from predose) were significantly higher with D-MPH-ER 30 mg than with D-MPH-ER 20 mg at 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose. Both D-MPH-ER doses were superior to placebo at all time points. CONCLUSIONS: D-MPH-ER 30 mg was superior to D-MPH-ER 20 mg at later time points in the day, suggesting that higher doses of D-MPH-ER may be more effective later in the day.

    Abstract:

    : The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dexmethylphenidate extended-release (d-MPH-ER) 30 versus 20 mg in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a 12-hour laboratory classroom setting. In a randomized, double-blind, 3-period × 3-treatment, crossover study, children aged 6 to 12 years with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-diagnosed ADHD previously stabilized on MPH (40-60 mg/d) or D-MPH (20-30 mg/day) [corrected] were randomized to receive D-MPH-ER 20 mg/day, 30 mg/day, [corrected] or placebo for 7 days each. Primary efficacy measurements were change in the average SKAMP-Combined [corrected] score from predose to 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose [Avg(10-12)] between 30 mg [corrected] and 20 mg D-MPH-ER. Safety was assessed by adverse events, (AEs), [corrected] vital sign monitoring, and ECGs. [corrected] A total of 165 children were randomized, and 162 included in the intent-to-treat analysis. Mean Avg (10-12) change from pre-dose [corrected] in SKAMP-Combined score was significantly greater for D-MPH-ER 30 mg (-4.47) compared with D-MPH-ER 20 mg (-2.02; P = 0.002). Most common adverse events (≥ 3% in any group) were decreased appetite (6.1%, 4.9%, and 0%), headache (4.3%, 4.3%, and 1.9%), abdominal pain (3.7%, 3.1%, and 3.1%), and tachycardia (1.2%, 3.1%, and 0.6%) for D-MPH-ER 30 mg, D-MPH-ER 20 mg, and placebo, respectively). Significantly greater improvement in ADHD symptoms was noted with D-MPH-ER 30 mg compared with D-MPH-ER 20 mg at hours 10 through 12. Tolerability was comparable between doses. Dexmethylphenidate extended-release 30-mg dose may provide further benefit to patients who do not maintain optimal symptom control later in the day with D-MPH-ER 20 mg.

    Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2008
    Co-Authors: Raul R Silva, Matthew Brams, Rafael Muniz, Ann C Childress, Linda Pestreich, James Wang
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Objective: This study compared once-daily Dexmethylphenidate extended release (D-MPH-ER) 20 mg/day and placebo over 12 hours in children ages 6 to 12 with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a laboratory classroom setting. Method: All of the children were stabilized for ≥2 weeks on a total dose (nearest equivalent) MPH 40 mg/day or immediate-release D-MPH 20 mg/day before screening. After a practice day, they received 6 days of D-MPH-ER 20 mg/day or placebo at home, returning on day 7 for one dose. Subjects were evaluated at predose and postdose hours 0.5, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 and then crossed over to the other treatment arm using the identical protocol. The primary efficacy variable was the change from predose in Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham rating scale (SKAMP) combined score from 1 to 12 hours. Secondary efficacy variables included SKAMP combined score at 0.5 hours, SKAMP subscale scores, and math test results over 12 hours. Results: Sixty-eight children were randomized, with 67 completing the study. Onset of action was indicated by a significant difference between D-MPH-ER and placebo at 0.5 hour on the SKAMP combined score ( p = .001). For efficacy measures, differences from placebo were significant at all points between 0.5 and 12 hours ( p p = .013). Conclusions: D-MPH-ER provided sustained improvement in attention, deportment, and academic productivity throughout the 12-hour laboratory day.

    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective: This study compared the efficacy and safety of extended-release Dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH-ER) 20 mg/day and 30 mg/day with extended-release racemic methylphenidate hydrochloride (d,l-MPH-ER) 36 mg/day and 54 mg/day, and placebo in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a laboratory classroom setting. Methods: This multicenter, double-blind, crossover study included children (N = 84) 6–12 years of age, stabilized on total daily doses of 40 mg to 60 mg d,l-MPH or 20 mg/day or 30 mg/day d-MPH who were randomized to different treatment sequences. Primary efficacy was measured by the change from pre-dose in Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Rating Scale-Combined scores at 2 hours post-dose (d-MPH-ER 20 mg/day versus d,l-MPH- ER 36 mg/day). Adverse events were monitored throughout the study period. Results: Mean change in SKAMP-Combined score at 2 hours post-dose was significantly larger for d-MPH-ER 20 mg/day versus d,l-MPH-ER 36 mg/day (p < 0.001...

  • extended release Dexmethylphenidate 30 mg d versus 20 mg d duration of attention behavior and performance benefits in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
    Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Raul R Silva, Matthew Brams, Kevin Mccague, Linda Pestreich, Rafael Muniz
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of Dexmethylphenidate (D-MPH) extended-release (ER) 30 mg and D-MPH-ER 20 mg on attention, behavior, and performance in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, 3-period-by-3-treatment, crossover study, children aged 6 to 12 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder stabilized on methylphenidate (40-60 mg/d) or D-MPH (20-30 mg/d) received D-MPH-ER 20 mg/d, 30 mg/d, and placebo for 7 days each (final dose of each treatment period administered in a laboratory classroom). Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham (SKAMP) Combined (Attention and Deportment) rating scale and Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) math test assessments were conducted at baseline and 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose. RESULTS: A total of 165 children (94 boys; mean age, 9.6 years) were randomized (162 included in intent-to-treat analyses). Significant improvements were noted for D-MPH-ER 30 mg over D-MPH-ER 20 mg at various late time points on the SKAMP scales (Combined scores at 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose; Attention scores at 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose; deportment scores at 9 and 12 hours postdose). The PERMP math test-attempted and -correct scores (change from predose) were significantly higher with D-MPH-ER 30 mg than with D-MPH-ER 20 mg at 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose. Both D-MPH-ER doses were superior to placebo at all time points. CONCLUSIONS: D-MPH-ER 30 mg was superior to D-MPH-ER 20 mg at later time points in the day, suggesting that higher doses of D-MPH-ER may be more effective later in the day.

    Abstract:

    : The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dexmethylphenidate extended-release (d-MPH-ER) 30 versus 20 mg in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a 12-hour laboratory classroom setting. In a randomized, double-blind, 3-period × 3-treatment, crossover study, children aged 6 to 12 years with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition-diagnosed ADHD previously stabilized on MPH (40-60 mg/d) or D-MPH (20-30 mg/day) [corrected] were randomized to receive D-MPH-ER 20 mg/day, 30 mg/day, [corrected] or placebo for 7 days each. Primary efficacy measurements were change in the average SKAMP-Combined [corrected] score from predose to 10, 11, and 12 hours postdose [Avg(10-12)] between 30 mg [corrected] and 20 mg D-MPH-ER. Safety was assessed by adverse events, (AEs), [corrected] vital sign monitoring, and ECGs. [corrected] A total of 165 children were randomized, and 162 included in the intent-to-treat analysis. Mean Avg (10-12) change from pre-dose [corrected] in SKAMP-Combined score was significantly greater for D-MPH-ER 30 mg (-4.47) compared with D-MPH-ER 20 mg (-2.02; P = 0.002). Most common adverse events (≥ 3% in any group) were decreased appetite (6.1%, 4.9%, and 0%), headache (4.3%, 4.3%, and 1.9%), abdominal pain (3.7%, 3.1%, and 3.1%), and tachycardia (1.2%, 3.1%, and 0.6%) for D-MPH-ER 30 mg, D-MPH-ER 20 mg, and placebo, respectively). Significantly greater improvement in ADHD symptoms was noted with D-MPH-ER 30 mg compared with D-MPH-ER 20 mg at hours 10 through 12. Tolerability was comparable between doses. Dexmethylphenidate extended-release 30-mg dose may provide further benefit to patients who do not maintain optimal symptom control later in the day with D-MPH-ER 20 mg.

    Co-Authors: Raul R Silva, Matthew Brams, Rafael Muniz, Ann C Childress, Linda Pestreich, James Wang
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Objective: This study compared once-daily Dexmethylphenidate extended release (D-MPH-ER) 20 mg/day and placebo over 12 hours in children ages 6 to 12 with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a laboratory classroom setting. Method: All of the children were stabilized for ≥2 weeks on a total dose (nearest equivalent) MPH 40 mg/day or immediate-release D-MPH 20 mg/day before screening. After a practice day, they received 6 days of D-MPH-ER 20 mg/day or placebo at home, returning on day 7 for one dose. Subjects were evaluated at predose and postdose hours 0.5, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 and then crossed over to the other treatment arm using the identical protocol. The primary efficacy variable was the change from predose in Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham rating scale (SKAMP) combined score from 1 to 12 hours. Secondary efficacy variables included SKAMP combined score at 0.5 hours, SKAMP subscale scores, and math test results over 12 hours. Results: Sixty-eight children were randomized, with 67 completing the study. Onset of action was indicated by a significant difference between D-MPH-ER and placebo at 0.5 hour on the SKAMP combined score ( p = .001). For efficacy measures, differences from placebo were significant at all points between 0.5 and 12 hours ( p p = .013). Conclusions: D-MPH-ER provided sustained improvement in attention, deportment, and academic productivity throughout the 12-hour laboratory day.

  • drug regimen individualization for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder guidance for methylphenidate and Dexmethylphenidate formulations
    Pharmacotherapy, 2018
    Co-Authors: Kennerly S Patrick, Jennifer Radke, John R Raymond, Lauren Koller, Linda V Nguyen, Wendy Rodriguez, Arthur B Straughn
    Abstract:

    : In 2000, the first biphasic modified-release (MR) formulation of methylphenidate (MPH) was approved for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). An immediate-release (IR) MPH pulse (22% of the dose) facilitates rapid onset of stimulant action, while the remaining MR portion of the dose provides for day-long duration of efficacy. A wide array of oral MR-MPH products has subsequently been approved that also allows for once-daily dosing, though each product is characterized by distinctive exposure time courses. This review compares each member of the current MPH armamentarium to assist in the rational selection of a specific MPH regimen for the individualized treatment of patients with ADHD. The IR portion of biphasic MPH formulations now ranges from 15%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 30%, and 37% IR-MPH, as well as a 50% IR-MPH product whose distinctly pulsatile time course closely resembles that of the pre-century "gold standard" twice-daily IR-MPH regimen. Further, transdermal, suspension, and orally disintegrating tablet products are now available to overcome any solid dosage form swallowing difficulties. Most of these formulations are racemic, though in 2001, a chiral switch drug IR-Dexmethylphenidate (dexMPH) was approved, followed by biphasic MR-dexMPH (50% IR) in 2005. New U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) partial area under the curve (pAUC) bioavailability metrics have improved discrimination between specific generic MR-MPH products. This has resulted in two Orange Book MR-MPH products being recoded from "AB" (i.e., meets necessary bioequivalence requirements) to "BX" (i.e., insufficient data to confirm bioequivalence). The metabolic drug interaction between MPH and alcohol, which increases MPH bioavailability, potentiates euphoric effects, and heightens abuse liability, is discussed. This review concludes with brief considerations of pharmacogenomic predictors of ADHD first-line drug selection, carboxylesterase allelic variants influencing interindividual MPH metabolism, and novel MPH formulations in the regulatory pipeline.

  • absorption differences between immediate release Dexmethylphenidate and dl methylphenidate
    Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kennerly S Patrick, Arthur B Straughn
    Abstract:

    The postulate that twice the milligram/kilogram dose of dl -methylphenidate ( dl -MPH) would result in equal exposure to d -MPH compared with half that milligram/kilogram dose of the chiral switch product Dexmethylphenidate ( d -MPH) was tested. Using a randomized, crossover study design, 12 men and 12 women received either immediate-release (IR) dl -MPH (0.3 mg/kg) or IR d -MPH (0.15 mg/kg). Relative bioavailability comparisons included partial area under the plasma concentration-time curves (pAUC0–3 h) for d -MPH. The pAUC0–3 h is a new regulatory metric presently only required for bioequivalence testing of a specific dl -MPH modified-release product. The geometric mean ratios for both the C max and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0–∞) were within the 90% confidence interval (CI) regulatory range of 0.8–1.25, indicating that these two drugs were bioequivalent in terms of d -MPH. However, the pAUC0–3 h geometric mean ratio for d -MPH after IR dl -MPH versus IR d -MPH was 0.76 ( P < 0.001; 90% CI, 0.67–0.87), showing significantly less early exposure to the d -isomer than IR d -MPH. The 1-hour d- MPH concentration after dl -MPH was 56% of that after the enantiopure drug. The maximum d- MPH plasma concentration ( C max) for dl -MPH was also significantly lower for dl -MPH ( P < 0.05; CI, 1.02–1.19), whereas the AUC0–∞ ratio of 0.89 was not significantly different ( P = 0.21; CI, 0.98–1.13). The AUC0–3 h difference reported here points to the potential limitations of using bioequivalence for sound predictions of dose-response relationships. Knowledge of the greater early exposure to d- MPH after the pure d- isomer drug compared with the racemate may contribute to drug individualization/optimization in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

  • comparative ethanol induced potentiation of stimulatory responses to Dexmethylphenidate versus methylphenidate
    Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Kennerly S Patrick, Arthur B Straughn, Owen T Reeves, Hilary J Bernstein, Robert Malcolm
    Abstract:

    : The potentiation of positive subjective responses to immediate-release Dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH) or dl-methylphenidate (dl-MPH) by ethanol was investigated over the time course of maximal drug exposure after a single dose. In a 4-way, randomized, crossover study design, 12 men and 12 women normal volunteers received d-MPH (0.15 mg/kg) or dl-MPH (0.3 mg/kg) with or without ethanol (0.6 g/kg). Serial visual analog scales were used as surrogates for drug abuse liability ("high," "good," "like," "stimulated," and "any drug effect"). Combining pure d-MPH with ethanol significantly (P < 0.005) increased the area under the effect curves (AUC(0-5.25h)) of all 5 subscales. The dl-MPH-ethanol combination significantly (P < 0.05) increased these AUCs with the exception of like (P = 0.08). Effects of the pure d-MPH-ethanol combination exhibited delayed potentiation relative to dl-MPH-ethanol. A pharmacokinetic interaction between the l-isomer of dl-MPH and ethanol has previously been shown to increase early exposure to d-MPH. Administration of the pure isomer d-MPH precludes this absorption phase pharmacokinetic interaction with ethanol. This notwithstanding, the pure d-MPH-ethanol combination resulted in comparable, if not greater, cumulative stimulant potentiation than the dl-MPH-ethanol combination. These findings provide evidence of a pharmacodynamic component to d-MPH-ethanol synergistic interactions and carry implications for the rational drug individualization in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
