iveness/being easily distracted, running around or climbing excessively, arguing with adults, losing temper, and interrupting or intruding on others. Significant improvements in mean day total scores were seen on both scales: based on the CPRS-R, parents reported significant improvement across a full day (as measured at 6 pm, 8 pm, and 6 am the next morning); based on the CTRS-R, which was used only in the first pivotal trial, teachers reported significant improvement throughout the school day (as measured at 10 am and

2 pm).

Safety was also evaluated during these pivotal trials and safety data showed that adverse events reported by participants using INTUNIV were generally mild to moderate in severity. Treatment-related adverse events greater than 10 percent included somnolence (32 percent), headache (26 percent), fatigue (18 percent), upper abdominal pain (14 percent), and sedation (13 percent). Sedation-related, treatment emergent adverse events were among the most common and were usually transient and mild to moderate in severity. Small to modest changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, and ECG parameters were observed.
