ADHD-RS-AP Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale with Adult Prompts, CGI-I Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement, CI confidence interval, LS least squares, MAS mixed amphetamine salts, SD standard deviation, SEM standard error of the mean

Sample size at wk 4 (placebo, n = 77; 12.5 mg/day of SHP465 MAS, n = 78; 37.5 mg/day of SHP465 MAS, n = 73)

aSHP465 MAS—placebo (negative value indicates a treatment effect favoring SHP465 MAS)

bBased on the mixed-effects model for repeated measures, including treatment, visit, and the interaction of treatment with the visit as factors; with the relevant baseline score as a covariate; and with an adjustment for the interaction of the baseline score with the visit

cDifference in the LS mean divided by the estimated SD from the unstructured covariance matrix
