Endpoints

Primary: Mean magnitude of change in ADHD Symptoms as measured by parent and teacher report on the Vanderbilt ADHD Parent and Teacher Rating Scales, compared to placebo, during the optimal MPH dosage period. [ Time Frame: Phase 2, Phase 3 ]

Secondary: Frequency of clinically significant cardiac occurrences on MPH- clinically significant changes for Blood Pressure (BP) during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and the MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4]., Frequency of clinically significant cardiac occurrences on MPH- clinically significant changes for Heart Rate (HR) during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and the MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4]., Frequency of clinically significant physician-collected cardiac occurrences on MPH - clinically significant change from baseline in ECG findings during the during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and the optimal MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4]., Mean magnitude of change in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) compared to participants' pre-trial baseline, on maximum dosage of MPH received during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and during the optimal MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4]., Mean magnitude of change in Heart Rate (HR) compared to participants' pre-trial baseline, on maximum dosage of MPH received during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and during the optimal MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4]., Mean magnitude of change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) compared to participants' pre-trial baseline, on maximum dosage of MPH received during the MPH titration trial [Phase 1] and during the optimal MPH dosage maintenance period [Phase 4].
