AAQoL: Adult ADHD Quality-of-Life scale; ATX: atomoxetine; CAARS: Connors Adult ADHD Rating Scale; CGI-ADHD-S: Clinical Global Impression of Severity for ADHD.

a

Mean changes in CAARS-Inv: SV were calculated using the LOCF method.

b

The primary measure for Study LYBV was Endicott Work Productivity Scale (EWPS), used to evaluate work productivity.

c

The primary measure for Study LYCU was a repeated measures analysis of the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS), which showed similar results (−11.7 for placebo vs −16.2 for ATX; p=0.001) to the CAARS-Inv: SV.

d

The primary analysis for Study LYCW was a repeated measures analysis, which showed similar results (−8.7 for placebo vs -16.4 for ATX; p<0.001) to the CAARS-Inv: SV.

e

Response was defined as a ≥30% CAARS-Inv: SV improvement and CGI-ADHD-S ≤3.
