NLS Pharma Group this week announced that it has begun enrollment for its Phase II clinical trial for Mazindol, which will be conducted on adults with DSM-5 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The trial will be double-blind, placebo-controlled and test the efficiency, safety, patient tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NLS’s Controlled Release (CR) Formulation of Mazindol.

"The first patient in marks an important milestone in the development of a non-amphetaminic stimulant for ADHD," NLS Pharma Group CEO Alex Zwyer said.

"As only a fraction of adults with ADHD are being treated with traditional stimulants, it is clear that alternatives are needed,” Dr. Tim Wigal, lead investigator, said. “ADHD can affect numerous aspects of a patient's life and the current Phase II study is examining functional outcomes in order to determine the impact of treatment. Depending on the results in adults, this line of research may quickly expand to include younger patients."
