To assess efficacy and safety of tenoten for children (TC, ultra-low doses of antibodies to S100 protein) in ADHD patients.
In a double-blind placebo-controlled study 50 children (6-12 years) met DSM-IV criteria, mild/moderate CGI-ADHD-Severity and ADHDRS-IV-Parent:Inv > 22 points were enrolled. Patients were randomized to receive either TC (2 tablets BID, n=25) or placebo (n=25) for 12 weeks. ADHD symptoms were assessed by ADHDRS-IV-Parent:Inv, CPRS-R:S and CGI-ADHD-Severity.
According to both parents and investigators assessment TC decreased ADHD symptoms: ADHDRS-IV total score reduced by 13.5 points, hyperactivity by 6.7 points, inattention by 6.8 points (5.4, 2.3 and 3.2 in placebo); CPRS-R:S total score reduced by 12.8 points, hyperactivity by 3.6 points, inattention by 6.1 points (4.8, 1.8 and 1.7 in placebo). ADHD severity reduced in 9 patients received TC and 3 patients received placebo. No adverse effects were reported in both groups.
The study demonstrated good clinical efficacy and safety of TC in children with ADHD.
