The is a multicenter, dose-optimized, open-label, safety/ tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) study with Azstarys® in children 4 and 5 years of age with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of treating children 4 and 5 years-of-age with ADHD with Azstarys® for up 12 months. Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled. Approximately 20 sites will participate.
• Screening Period: New subjects will undergo a Screening Period up to 30 days prior to entering the Dose Optimization Phase. • Dose Optimization Phase: During the 3-week Dose Optimization Phase, subjects will start at 13.1 mg/2.6 mg, and may be titrated to doses of 26.1 mg/5.2 mg or 39.2 mg/7.8 mg Azstarys® capsules based on individual tolerability and best dose-response in the opinion of the Investigator. • Treatment Phase: Eligible subjects will receive single daily doses of Azstarys® for approximately 360 ±20 days (approximately 12 months). The starting dose of Azstarys® in the Treatment Phase will be the same as the optimized dose of Azstarys® at the end of the Dose Optimization Phase, either 13.1 mg/2.6 mg, 26.1/5.2 mg, or 39.2 mg/7.8 mg per day. The daily dose may be changed at any time to any of the allowed dose levels (13.1 mg/2.6 mg, 26.1/5.2 mg, or 39.2 mg/7.8 mg per day) at the Investigator' discretion, based on individual tolerability and dose response.

Changes in Sleep Behavior
Summary of Change from Baseline in Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) Total Sleep Disturbance Score to End of Study. The CSHQ is a retrospective, 33-item parent questionnaire to examine sleep behavior in small children. Items are rated on a 3-point scale of "Usually", "Sometimes" and "Rarely" for occurrences in a number of key sleep domains (Bedtime Resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, parasomnias, sleep disordered breathing, and Daytime Sleepiness). The total Sleep Disturbance Score is the sum of the frequency ratings of the 33 items. The lowest possible score is 33 and the highest possible score is 99. Lower scores indicate improved sleep behavior, and a mean percentage decrease is considered an improvement.

Efficacy of ADHD Symptom Control Through Investigator Ratings on the ADHD-RS-IV
Determine efficacy with respect to the 12-month maintenance of ADHD symptom control through investigator ratings on the ADHD-RS-IV from baseline to 12 months. The ADHD-RS is an 18-item scale based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria of ADHD that rates symptoms on a 4-point scale. Each item is scored using a combination of severity and frequency ratings from a range of 0 (reflecting no symptoms or a frequency of never or rarely) to 3 (reflecting severe symptoms or a frequency of very often), so that the total ADHD-RS scores range from 0 to 54 (low score is better or shows improvement). Scores will be obtained during a clinician-directed interview with the parent/guardian/caregiver at each visit.

Efficacy of CGI-S
Deterimine the efficacy of the CGI-S from baseline to 12 months. The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale that evaluates the severity of ADHD symptoms in the study on a scale from 1 (not at all ill) to 7 (among the most severely ill).
Time frame: 12 months
