Single‐Dose Pharmacokinetics of Multilayer‐Release Methylphenidate and Immediate‐Release Methylphenidate in Children With Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the single-dose pharmacokinetics of multilayer-release and immediate-release methylphenidate in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Patients 6- to 12-years-old with a DSM-IV diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were randomized to receive multilayer-release methylphenidate (qd) or immediate-release methylphenidate (bid) at equivalent doses, with a 14-day washout between treatments. Plasma samples were collected predosing and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours postdose. Pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted on 14 patients (1 female, 13 male; mean age: 9.6 +/- 2.5 years [range, 6-12]). The mean dose of methylphenidate received by these patients in both phases of the study was 38.6 mg/d (range, 20-80 mg/d). The relative AUC(0-t) and C(max 0-4) ratios for multilayer-release compared with immediate-release methylphenidate were 100.8% and 78.8%, respectively. Multilayer-release methylphenidate produces a biphasic concentration-time profile, with a rapid initial increase in plasma concentration that is maintained throughout the school day.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
