Dose Taper

* Eight-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled flexible-dose study, with primary efficacy end point measured at 5 weeks. A total of 198 children and adolescents (6-17 years of age) who met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD hyperactive or combined inattentive/hyperactive subtypes were randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups: KAPVAY® as adjunctive therapy to a psychostimulant (n=102) or a placebo added to a psychostimulant (n=96). The KAPVAY ® dose was initiated at 0.1 mg/day and titrated up to 0.4 mg/day over a 3-week period. The dose was maintained at this level for a period of 2 weeks before being gradually tapered to 0.1 mg/day at the last week of treatment. One patient in the placebo + stimulant group was omitted from the ITT population because of a lack of study assessment after baseline.

Indication KAPVAY® (clonidine hydrochloride) extended-release tablets are indicated for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy to stimulant medications in children and adolescents ages 6-17. The efficacy of KAPVAY® is based on the results of 2 clinical trials in children and adolescents. KAPVAY ® is indicated as an integral part of a total treatment program for ADHD that may include other measures (psychological, educational, and social) for patients with this syndrome.

Indication (continued) The effectiveness of KAPVAY® for longer-term use (more than 5 weeks) has not been systematically evaluated in controlled trials; therefore, the physician electing to use KAPVAY® for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. Important Safety Information KAPVAY® should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to clonidine. KAPVAY® can cause dose-related decreases in blood pressure and heart rate. Use caution in treating patients who have a history of syncope or may have a condition that predisposes them to syncope, such as hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, or dehydration. Use with caution in patients treated concomitantly with antihypertensives or other drugs that can reduce blood pressure or heart rate or increase the risk of syncope.

Important Safety Information (continued) Clonidine may potentiate the CNS-depressive effects of alcohol, barbiturates or other sedating drugs. Use caution when KAPVAY® is administered concomitantly with antihypertensive drugs, due to the additive pharmacodynamic effects (e.g., hypotension, syncope). In patients who have developed localized contact sensitization or other allergic reaction to clonidine in a transdermal system, substitution of oral clonidine hydrochloride therapy may be associated with the development of a generalized skin rash, urticaria, or angioedema. Use cautiously in patients with vascular disease, cardiac conduction disease, or chronic renal failure: Monitor carefully and uptitrate slowly.

SAFETY

* Eight-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study, with primary efficacy end point measured at 5 weeks. A total of 236 children and adolescents (6-17 years of age) who met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD hyperactive or combined inattentive/hyperactive subtypes were randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups: KAPVAY® 0.2 mg/day (n=78), KAPVAY® 0.4 mg/day (n=80), or placebo (n=78). Dosing for the KAPVAY® groups started at 0.1 mg/day and a weekly titration schedule was used to escalate patients to their respective fixed dose. Patients were maintained at their dose levels for a minimum period of 2 weeks before being gradually tapered down to 0.1 mg/day at the last week of treatment.

Each treatment was separated by a 1-week washout period.4

Important Safety Information (continued)

NO FOOD

EFFECT

KAPVAY® should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly needed. Since clonidine hydrochloride is excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when KAPVAY® is administered to a nursing woman. Caution is warranted in patients receiving clonidine concomitantly with agents known to affect sinus node function or AV nodal conduction (e.g., digitalis, calcium-channel blockers and beta-blockers) due to a potential for additive effects such as bradycardia and AV block.
