The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of Dyanavel on co-occuring fatigue in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The main question it aims to answer is whether Dyanavel XR leads to a statistically significant reduction in fatigue compared to placebo, as measured by the Fatigue Symptom Inventory.
10-week single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible titration trial evaluating the efficacy of Dyanavel (Dyanavel XR) XR in the treatment of fatigue symptoms in adult subjects with a diagnosis of ADHD. Subjects will be randomly assigned (1:1) to a Dyanavel (Dyanavel XR) XR (flexible titration dosing) group (n = 22 to 25) or placebo group (n = 22 to 25). The study will utilize an intent to treat model and impute data, if statistically feasible, from dropouts utilizing a MNAR (missing not at random) approach.

Dosing will begin the morning following Visit 2. Subjects in the active group will begin the study on 5 mg of Dyanavel XR. Subjects will be advised to take one capsule each morning upon awakening, dosed consistently with respect to time. Subjects will be advised that tablets should be swallowed whole, not crushed, chewed, or cut. Subjects can take Dyanavel XR with or without food. Subjects will return to the study site on a weekly (and later, bi-weekly) basis for evaluation of symptoms and possible side effects. Subjects will be titrated to their optimal dose based on the dose titration schedule displayed in Section 5.1. The PI will be available to consult with patients as needed between Week 0 and Week 4 to adjust dosage per the PI's clinical judgment.
