Adults with ADHD and moderate to severe depression

Brief summary

Incidence of adverse events (AE) in the active treatment groups (DEX XL and DEX IR) compared to the placebo until V6

Detailed description

Incidence of adverse events (AE) until V5, Proportion of patients with at least one AE until V5 and until end of study, Number of AE until V5 and until end of study, Number of AE/SAE during the study period, number and proportion of patients with AE/SAE by type, severity (mild, moderate, severe) and relatedness to treatment, Score of CGI Efficacy index by investigator at Visit 5, MADRS suicidal ideation score (range 0-6) for all available visits (SCR to V5) and change to BL/V0 (only V1 to V5), Rate of patients with score 1-3 in CGI-I at V5, Absolute scores categories of CGI-I at all available visits (V1 to V5), Numbers and percentages of patients with (1) decreased, (2) maintained and (3) increased CGI-S at V5 compared to BL/V0, Shift table of CGI-S score categories at BL/V0, V1 and V5, Absolute score categories of CGI-S at all available visits (V0 to V5), MADRS total score (range 0-60) for all available visits (SCR to V5) and change to BL/V0 (only V1 to V5), MADRS total score categorization by Müller et al. (39) at BL/ V0, V1 and V5 (0-6 absence of symptoms; 7-19 mild depression, 20-34 moderate depression, 35-60 indicate a severe depression), ADHS-DC-Q total score (range 0-66) for all available visits (SCR to V5) and change to BL/V0 (only V1 to V5), QIDS-SR-16 total score (range 0-27) for all available visits (V0 to V5) and change to BL/V0 (only V1 to V5), Mean dose intake from V1 to V5 per treatment group, Mean dose intake compared to planned dose after titration phase (for study period V1 to V5) per treatment group, Proportion of patients with less than 80% of planned dose intake (for study period V1 to V5) per treatment group, Number and proportion of patients by dosage group (DEX IR: 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg; DEX XL: 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg; Placebo: 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg)) at V1 and V2, Number and proportion of patients per treatment group that needed dose optimization of IMP in the optimal stable dose phase and type of optimization (e.g., downtitration), Number and percentage of patients with early withdrawal from therapy due to adverse events - in total and per treatment group
