Demonstrated substantial and statistically significant improvement in ADHD symptoms as measured by the AISRS total score compared to placebo (p=0.039, primary endpoint, 150 mg solriamfetol)
Statistically significant reduction in overall ADHD disease severity as measured by the CGI-S score compared to placebo (p=0.017, key secondary endpoint, 150 mg solriamfetol)
Statistically significant rate of clinical response on the AISRS compared to placebo (p=0.024, 150 mg solriamfetol)
Onset of action as early as Week 1 compared to placebo (p=0.036, AISRS, 150 mg solriamfetol)
Well tolerated with safety profile generally consistent with prior solriamfetol trials
NEW YORK, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. ( AXSM ) , a biopharmaceutical company leading a new era in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced that the FOCUS Phase 3 trial of solriamfetol in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) achieved its primary and key secondary endpoints demonstrating statistically significant improvements in ADHD symptoms and disease severity with solriamfetol compared to placebo. The FOCUS study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, U.S. trial, in which 516 adults with ADHD were randomized to receive solriamfetol 150 mg, solriamfetol 300 mg, or placebo, once daily, for 6 weeks.
The study achieved the primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) total score compared to placebo at Week 6, with mean reductions from baseline of 17.7 points for solriamfetol 150 mg and 14.3 points for placebo (p=0.039). Overall, the improvement with solriamfetol at Week 6 represents a 45% mean reduction from baseline in ADHD symptoms. Improvements in the AISRS total score were greater with solriamfetol compared to placebo starting at Week 1 (p=0.036). Clinical response, defined as ≥30% improvement from baseline in the AISRS total score, was achieved by a statistically significantly greater percentage of patients treated with solriamfetol 150 mg (53.5%) compared to those treated with placebo (41.3%) at Week 6 (p=0.024).
The study also achieved the key secondary endpoint by statistically significantly reducing overall ADHD disease severity compared to placebo, as assessed by the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) for ADHD, at Week 6 (p=0.017). Results on the primary and key secondary endpoints for the exploratory 300 mg solriamfetol dose were numerically superior compared to placebo but were not statistically significant.
Gregory Mattingly, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Washington University School of Medicine and President of the American Professional Society for ADHD and Related Disorders, commented, “ADHD substantially impairs social, academic, and occupational functioning, while negatively impacting patient quality of life and increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality. The results of the FOCUS trial demonstrate that solriamfetol was able to reduce mean ADHD symptom burden by nearly fifty percent, which contributed to significant reductions in disease severity. These results are especially promising as part of a comprehensive wellness plan for individuals with ADHD. The symptom improvements observed with solriamfetol were accompanied by a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Based on these compelling data, solriamfetol has the potential to be an important new treatment option for adult patients living with ADHD.”
Herriot Tabuteau, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Axsome, said, “We are pleased with the positive results of the FOCUS trial which provide the first evidence from a multicenter controlled trial of the efficacy of solriamfetol in the treatment of ADHD. ADHD is a serious, heterogenous, and prevalent condition. We look forward to advancing the development of solriamfetol as a new, differentiated potential treatment for the millions of patients living ADHD. With these results in the adult population in hand, we plan to initiate a trial in pediatric patients this year.”
Solriamfetol was safe and well tolerated in the trial, with a side effect profile that was consistent with the established safety profile of solriamfetol. Rates of adverse events were dose dependent. There were no serious adverse events reported in the trial.
About the FOCUS Trial
FOCUS (Forward Treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Using Solriamfetol) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 6-week, parallel group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol in adults with ADHD in the United States. A total of 516 adult patients with a primary diagnosis of ADHD were randomized 1:1:1 to treatment with solriamfetol 150 mg, solriamfetol 300 mg, or placebo, once daily for 6 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) total score at Week 6. Total scores on the AISRS range from 0 to 54, with 0 corresponding to total absence of symptoms and higher scores corresponding to greater symptom severity. Mean baseline AISRS total scores for the solriamfetol 150 mg, solriamfetol 300 mg, and placebo groups were 39.1, 38.3, and 37.9 respectively. The key secondary endpoint was the change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) for ADHD at Week 6.
About Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurobiological and developmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, that interferes with functioning or development.1 Impairments in cognition are apparent in attention, planning and problem solving, working memory, and behavioral inhibition.2,3 An estimated 15.5 million adults and 7 million children in the U.S. are affected by ADHD,4,5 with approximately two-thirds or more of children with ADHD continuing to experience symptoms into adulthood.6 The total annual societal excess cost associated with adult ADHD in the U.S. has been estimated at over $120 billion.7

Chief Executive Officer Herriot Tabuteau indicated that the company plans to swiftly advance towards filing a New Drug Application (NDA) for AXS-12. The company intends to request a pre-NDA meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Axsome to File NDA Following Positive Phase 3 Results of AXS-12 in Narcolepsy
AXS-12 significantly reduced cataplexy attacks and improved excessive daytime sleepiness, cognition, and work productivity in narcolepsy patients.
The ENCORE trial showed a 77% reduction in cataplexy attacks at 6 months, with sustained improvements in concentration and narcolepsy symptoms.
AXS-12 was well-tolerated, with no new safety signals, and demonstrated a favorable long-term safety and tolerability profile.
Axsome Therapeutics plans to file a new drug application for AXS-12, supported by positive results from the ENCORE and SYMPHONY trials.
Over the 6-month treatment period, patients saw improvements in cataplexy frequency, excessive daytime sleepiness, cognition, and work productivity with AXS-12.
