Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is a stimulant used to treat children, adolescents and adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
SPD489-404 was a 2-year safety study of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in which cognitive function was assessed using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).
In this study, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate treatment was not found to be associated with cognitive impairment; possible improvements in some domains of cognitive function were observed.
