Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Pipeline Analysis Report 2025

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 7.6% of children aged 3-12 and 5.6% of adolescents aged 12-18, based on a 2023 global prevalence study. There is a growing focus on innovative attention deficit hyperactivity disorder therapeutics, such as next-generation stimulants, non-stimulant options, and extended-release formulations. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research examines the pipeline of drugs, both in clinical and preclinical stages, aimed at addressing ADHD symptoms. Increasing awareness, enhanced diagnosis, and demand for safer long-term treatments are expected to accelerate the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder therapeutic products in the coming years.

Report Coverage

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Pipeline Analysis Report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights into attention deficit hyperactivity disorder therapeutics currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder report assessment includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials, including their adverse effects on patients suffering from the condition, and alignment with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder treatment guidelines to ensure optimal care practices.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing product development activities related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Pipeline Outlook

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It typically emerges in childhood and may persist into adulthood. ADHD occurs due to genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors that affect brain development and neurotransmitter function, particularly in areas controlling attention and behavior regulation.

ADHD treatment includes behavioral therapy and medications. Stimulants like methylphenidate and non-stimulants such as atomoxetine or clonidine help improve focus and control impulsive behaviors. For instance, in May 2024, Tris Pharma received U.S. FDA approval for ONYDA XR, a once-daily, extended-release oral suspension of clonidine hydrochloride, offering the first liquid non-stimulant ADHD treatment with nighttime dosing.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Epidemiology

According to a 2023 global study, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 7.6% of children aged 3–12 years and 5.6% of adolescents aged 12–18 years. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 11.4% of children aged 3–17 years (approximately 7 million) had been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2022. In the United Kingdom, adult ADHD prevalence is estimated at 3% to 4%.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – Emerging Drugs Profile

This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drug candidates.

Drug: Guanfacine hydrochloride (TAK-503)

TAK-503 is being studied by Shire (now part of Takeda) to evaluate its long-term safety and efficacy in children and adolescents with ADHD who have not responded well to stimulant treatments. TAK-503 is a prolonged-release formulation of guanfacine hydrochloride, which works by modulating noradrenaline transmission through α2-adrenergic receptors. It is a part of a phase IV study, which is examining how this medication impacts ADHD symptoms and whether it offers an effective alternative for patients who struggle with conventional stimulant medications.

Drug: HLD200

HLD200 is a delayed-release and extended-release methylphenidate capsule developed by Ironshore Pharmaceuticals and Development, Inc. It is undergoing phase III clinical development, where it is being evaluated for its efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics in children aged 4-5 years with ADHD. The objective is to examine the drug's therapeutic effects throughout the day when dosed in the evening.
