6.1 Clinical

Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical trials experience with methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release included 188 pediatric patients 6 to 15 years old with ADHD exposed to methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release. Patients received methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release 20 mg, 40 mg, and/or 60 mg per day. The 188 patients were evaluated in the following studies: Study 1, a 3-week placebo-controlled clinical study consisting of a total of 314 pediatric patients (ages 6 to 15 years; methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release n=155); Study 2, a placebo-controlled, crossover clinical study consisting of 25 pediatric patients (ages 7 to 12 years); and Study 3, an uncontrolled clinical study consisting of 8 pediatric patients (ages 6 to 10 years). Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment In the 3-week placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial, two methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release-treated patients (1%) and no placebo-treated patients discontinued due to an adverse reaction (rash and pruritus; and headache, abdominal pain, and dizziness, respectively). Most Common Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions that occurred in 5% or more of patients treated with methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release in a pool of Studies 1, 2 and 3 (ages 6 to 15 years) where the incidence in patients treated with methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release was at least twice the incidence in placebo-treated patients were anorexia and insomnia. Adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 5% of patients treated with methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release and greater than placebo in pooled Studies 1, 2, and 3 are presented in Table 2: Table 2: Adverse Reactions (≥ 5% and Greater than Placebo) in Pediatric Patients Ages 6 to 15 Years Receiving Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-Release in Pooled Three to Four Week Trials Body System Preferred Term Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended-Release (n=188) % Placebo (n=190) % General Headache 12 8 Abdominal Pain (stomachache) 7 4 Digestive System Anorexia 9 2 Nervous System Insomnia 5 2

6.2 Post-marketing

Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-marketing use of methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release and other methylphenidate hydrochloride products. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
