COMMAVE SUB ยท 2021 ยท FDA Review (openFDA)
Report summary
The FDA approved Azstarys (serdexmethylphenidate and dexmethylphenidate) for ADHD in patients aged 6 and older. Efficacy was established in children (6-12 years) via Study KP415.E01, showing significant improvement in ADHD symptoms with rapid onset and sustained duration. Efficacy in adolescents and adults was extrapolated from Focalin XR. Nonclinical safety studies confirmed a toxicological profile comparable to d-MPH, with no unique toxicities. Pharmacokinetic data showed no significant drug interactions. Abuse potential studies indicated Azstarys had lower abuse potential than active comparators (Focalin XR, d-Methylphenidate) across various administration routes, though it varied compared to placebo. Common stimulant-related adverse events were noted, along with a suppressive effect on pediatric growth. Azstarys was classified as Schedule II. Postmarketing requirements include further pediatric studies.
