ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medication called EB-1020 to see how effective and safe it is for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The trial is currently looking for adult participants aged 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with ADHD according to specific guidelines. To be eligible, if you are not taking any ADHD medication, you should have a score of 28 or higher on a specific ADHD assessment. If you are currently on medication, your score should be 22 or higher.

If you decide to participate, you will take a capsule of EB-1020 once a day. Throughout the trial, researchers will monitor your health and how well the medication works for you. However, there are certain conditions that may exclude you from participating, such as being pregnant, having a severe mental health condition, or certain neurological issues. This trial aims to provide valuable information that could help improve treatment options for adults with ADHD in the future.
