Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) Phenotype StatusOver 1 yearParticipants were categorized as either extensive metabolizers (EM) or poor metabolizers (PM). CYP2D6 is the primary atomoxetine metabolizing enzyme. The CYP2D6 genotype were analysed by testing the \*2, \*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, \*8, and \*10 alleles. Metabolizer status was determined by focusing on the normal(wild type, \*2), decreased(\*10), and defective allele(\*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, or \*8). PM were assigned to the patients had two defective alleles in any combination of \*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, \*7, or \*8 alleles. EM was all except for PM.

Change From Baseline at Various Timepoints in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV-Translated in Japanese Parent Version: Investigator Administered and Scored (ADHDRS-IV-J:I) Total Score

Measures the 18 symptoms contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individual item scores range from 0 (none/never or rarely) to 3 (severe/very often). Total scores range from 0 to 54.

Time frame: Baseline, 6 Months, 12 Months, 2 Years, 3 Years, 4 Years

Population: Full Analysis Set: Participants who met Study LYBC criteria, took 1 dose of drug, had a baseline/post-baseline measurement. Changes from baseline used LOCF approach. Baseline was the last non-missing measurement before taking atomoxetine (either LYDA Week 0 or LYBC Week 2). Endpoint was the last non-missing measurement in each assessment period.
