Bavisant dihydrochloride hydrate (JNJ31001074AAC) is a highly selective, orally active antagonist of the human H3 receptor with a novel mechanism of action related to wakefulness and cognition, and it has potential as a treatment for ADHD. In a clinical trial, the mean change from baseline in the total ADHD-RS-IV score at day 42 was -8.8 in the placebo group versus -9.3, -11.2, and -12.2 in the bavisant 1 mg/day, 3 mg/day, and 10 mg/day groups, respectively; however, the change in the 10 mg/day group was not statistically superior to placebo (p=0.161). Statistical comparisons of the 1 mg/day and 3 mg/day groups with placebo based on a step-down closed testing procedure were not performed. Bavisant has completed a phase II ADHD trial, but no results have been reported [1]. Clinical trial: A Study to Characterize the Pharmacokinetics and Effect of Food on JNJ-31001074 in Healthy Volunteers. Phase 2. IC50 Value: Target: H3 receptor in vitro.
