- Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) [ Time Frame: Up to 49 days or early termination ]18-item scale with a total score range of 0 to 54 points. Composed of 2 subscales that can range from 0 to 27 points. A higher value represents a worse outcome. Change from baseline in AISRS total score to assess efficacy.
- Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-S) [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days or early termination ]An observer-rated scale with a total score range of 0 to 7. A higher score represents a worse outcome. Change from baseline to assess efficacy
- Adverse Event Reporting [ Time Frame: Up to 77 days or early termination ]Frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be assessed to determine safety and tolerability of centanafadine SR tablets
- ADHD Impact Module - Adult (AIM-A) [ Time Frame: Up to 49 days or early termination ]Scale composed of 3 subscales with a maximum score of 100. A lower score indicates a worse outcome. Exploratory endpoint; comparison of baseline score to other points throughout the study.
- Adult ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS) [ Time Frame: Up to 77 days or early termination ]An 18 question report, total score ranges from 0 to 124. A higher score denotes a worse outcome. Exploratory endpoint; comparison of baseline score to other points throughout the study
- AISRS [ Time Frame: Up to 77 days or early termination ]Change from baseline total score compared to every scheduled visit. Each subscale is composed of 9 items each. Scores can range from 0 to 27, with a higher score representing a worse outcome. Change from baseline scores are compared to every scheduled visit score.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 55 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects must meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for ADHD (including predominantly inattentive presentation, hyperactive presentation, or combined presentation) as confirmed by the Adult ADHD Clinical Diagnostic Scale (ACDS) Version 1.2. To confirm that ADHD is the primary diagnosis, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) will be used to identify and exclude other psychiatric conditions which would preclude enrollment.
- Subjects who were not receiving any pharmacological treatment for ADHD must have an Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) score of ≥ 28 at screening and baseline. Subjects who were receiving pharmacological treatment for ADHD at screening must have a minimum AISRS score of ≥ 22 at screening, and a score of ≥ 28 at baseline.
- All subjects must be willing to discontinue all prohibited psychotropic medications starting from the time of signing the informed consent through the 7-day follow-up period. Subjects that do not rollover into Trial 405-201-00015 must be willing to discontinue all prohibited psychotropic medications starting from the time of signing the informed consent until after the follow-up telephone call 10 days after the last dose of IMP.
- Subjects must have a Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-S) score of ≥ 4 (≥ moderate impairment) at baseline.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has a DSM-5 Diagnosis of Other Specified or Unspecified Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
- Subject has a current comorbid psychiatric disorder that either could be expected to require treatment with medications prohibited in this trial, or to confound efficacy or safety assessments. Examples include, but are not limited to, psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, a current major depressive episode, or posttraumatic stress disorder, as established by the MINI.
- In the opinion of the investigator, subject has not derived significant therapeutic benefit from 2 or more ADHD therapies of 2 different classes (eg, amphetamine and methylphenidate) given with an acceptable dose and duration of adulthood (aged 18 or older). NOTE: If subject has not derived significant therapeutic benefit due to an inability to tolerate side effects, eligibility can be discussed on case-by-case basis with the medical monitor.
- Subjects that have a positive alcohol test (via breathalyzer or blood), a positive drug screen for cocaine, or other illicit drugs (excluding marijuana). Subjects with a positive drug screen for confirmed prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) use of ADHD medications at screening will be required to undergo a washout period. NOTE: Subjects that test positive for marijuana may be permitted to be enrolled if they have no evidence of a substance use disorder, and if they agree to refrain from use for the duration of the trial. Allowance for subjects testing positive for marijuana at screening require explicit approval from the medical monitor.
- In the opinion of the investigator, the subject is unable to adhere to the treatment regimen or other requirements outlined in the protocol.
