  • One of the secondary endpoints was change from predose PERMP scores at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 13 hours postdose2
  • PERMP is a 10-minute written test with the number of problems attempted and the number of problems answered correctly used as measures of a patient’s performance2
  • PERMP scores (problems attempted and problems answered correctly) were significantly improved with DYANAVEL XR (amphetamine) at all postdose time points compared with placebo (P<0.0001 for both)2

The study was performed in a laboratory classroom setting with children ages 6 to 12 with ADHD

At the end of each week, teachers and raters used a rating scale to evaluate the attention and behavior of the children who took DYANAVEL XR against the children taking the sugar syrup.

The Attention Test is a two-part test. It measures a child’s scores on:

  • the number of problems attempted, and
  • the number of problems solved accurately

Addition of the scores from each part provides that child’s Total Score on the Attention Test.

Higher Total Scores on the Attention Test reflect the child’s ability to pay attention for 10 minutes straight when seated in one place.

Using the Attention Test as a tool to measure the clinical benefit of an ADHD treatment in late-stage clinical studies is an objective way to measure the ability of a person with ADHD to pay attention and complete a task.

The Attention Test is
made up of two parts:

  • Each part is a single page of 80 different addition and subtraction problems, chosen based on results from a practice test administered to each child
  • The first part measures the child’s ability to focus on and attempt to solve as many addition and subtraction problems from those assigned
  • The second part measures the child’s ability to accurately answer a different set of such problems

Real results

Shown here are examples of an actual completed Attention Test with the same child, one with DYANAVEL XR, one with a sugar syrup.

Both tests were conducted at the same timepoint of the day, 1 hour after the treatment was administered to the child.
