In the realm of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treatments, four promising pipeline agents are currently under late-stage development across the seven major markets (7MM), including the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain. These agents are Otsuka’s Centanafadine SR, Axsome Therapeutics’s Solriamfetol, Neurocentria’s NRCT-101SR (L-Threonate magnesium salt), and Cingulate’s CTx-1301 (dexmethylphenidate). Notably, some of these treatments exhibit the potential to address not only ADHD but also comorbid conditions such as anxiety disorder and depression, conditions often seen alongside ADHD, complicating treatment and patient management.
