Further study details as provided by Eli Lilly and Company:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate in children aged 6 through 12 years with ADHD who have been identified as stimulant non-responders and have been exposed to acute treatment of atomoxetine.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by ECGs
Assess the safety of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by clinical laboratory tests
Assess the tolerability of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children retrospectively identified as stimulant non-responders as measured by spontaneously reported AEs
Compare the efficacy of atomoxetine and placebo as compared to atomoxetine and methylphenidate for the treatment of ADHD in children
