Registered outcomes1

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChanges in Brain Segmentation Volume Produced by Stimulant or Non-stimulant Medications in Patients With ADHDBaseline and 6 weeks
Brain segmentation volume measured in mm\^3. We are reporting the mean difference in brain segmentation volume from baseline (pre-test) to 6 weeks (post-test). No statistical analysis information is being submitted for the affected outcome measure. No statistical analyses have been performed or would be considered scientifically appropriate because actual enrollment fell well below target enrollment. Enrollment terminated early as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

PRIMARYChanges in Brain Segmentation Volume Produced by Stimulant or Non-stimulant Medications in Patients With ADHDBaseline and 6 weeks
4 subjects from the ADHD-Guanfacine group and 3 subjects from the ADHD-Lisdexamfetamine group had usable anatomical MRI data at baseline and follow-up. HCs did not complete follow-up.~No statistical analysis information is being submitted for the affected outcome measure. No statistical analyses have been performed or would be considered scientifically appropriate because actual enrollment fell well below target enrollment.
