LDX: lisdexamfetamine dimesylate; ADHD-RS-IV: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale IV

*Includes all subjects who discontinued during dose-optimization and crossover periods based on optimized dose.

All AEs leading to discontinuation occurred during dose optimization. Eight discontinuations occurred before randomization. These subjects were taking 30 mg/d LDX when the discontinuation-related AE occurred. One discontinuation occurred after randomization. This subject was taking 50 mg/d LDX when he experienced acute gastritis, causing him to miss the visit 4 practice day.
