Background And Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood. Recent phase III trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of viloxazine extended-release capsules (viloxazine ER; Qelbree) in pediatrics (6-17 years of age). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of viloxazine ER in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Here, we determined whether the pharmacokinetics of viloxazine are impacted by consuming the capsule contents sprinkled on applesauce rather than an intact capsule, and the effect of a high-fat meal on the pharmacokinetics of viloxazine ER.
Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, crossover, three-treatment, three-period study in healthy adults using orally administered single-dose viloxazine ER 200 mg capsules.
SPN-812 (viloxazine extended-release) is a novel nonstimulant recently approved as a treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents. Given that SPN-812 is metabolized by CYP2D6 and may be coadministered with CYP2D6 inhibitors, this trial investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of SPN-812 coadministered with the potent CYP2D6 inhibitor paroxetine. In this single-sequence, 3-treatment period study in healthy volunteers, subjects received a single oral dose of 700 mg SPN-812 alone (period 1), 20 mg daily paroxetine (10 days, period 2), followed by concurrent administration of SPN-812 and paroxetine (period 3).

Given the potential for viloxazine extended-release to be co-administered with stimulant ADHD pharmacotherapies, this trial investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of combination viloxazine extended-release + lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (lisdexamfetamine) versus viloxazine extended-release and lisdexamfetamine alone.
Methods: In this single-center, cross-over, open-label trial, healthy, non-ADHD adults received single oral doses of 700 mg viloxazine extended-release alone, 50 mg lisdexamfetamine alone, and a combination of viloxazine extended-release (700 mg) + lisdexamfetamine (50 mg), with blood samples collected over 4 days postadministration.
Background And Objectives: Viloxazine extended-release (viloxazine ER, SPN-812) is a novel non-stimulant with activity at serotonin receptors and the norepinephrine transporter, which is under investigation as a potential treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Given the potential for viloxazine ER to be coadministered with other pharmacotherapies, this trial investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of combination viloxazine ER + methylphenidate versus viloxazine ER or methylphenidate alone.
Methods: In this single-center, crossover, open-label trial, healthy adult participants received oral administration of 700 mg viloxazine ER alone, 36 mg methylphenidate alone, and combination viloxazine ER (700 mg) + methylphenidate (36 mg), with blood samples collected over 4 days post-administration.
