The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the videogame-like digital therapy on attentional functioning and symptoms in Adults diagnosed with ADHD.
This study is a multi-center, unblinded/non-controlled adaptive design study to evaluate objective attention functioning and ADHD symptoms and impairments in adults with a diagnosis of ADHD (combined or inattentive subtype), stably on or off ADHD medication, after 6 weeks of AKL-T01 treatment.
A maximum of 325 total participants from 12-30 sites will be enrolled.
During the Screening/baseline, participants will undergo screening to evaluate eligibility for the study. Eligible participants will continue onto baseline procedures in the same visit.
Treatment phase (Day 2-42) will involve using the digital therapy at home for each participant. Compliance with treatment/use requirements will be monitored remotely during this phase.
An In-Clinic assessment will be completed on Day 42 to assess key outcomes.

| To evaluate the efficacy of AKL-T01 as determined by the change in a digitally assessed measure, Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA®) Attention Comparison Score (ACS), of sustained and selective attention, after 6 weeks of treatment with AKL-T01 | Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA)-Attention Comparison Score (ACS) of sustained and selective attention. Measures at Day 1 and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit Day 42 TOVA ACS is a comparison of a subject's scores based on selected measures that persons with an independent diagnosis of ADHD frequently demonstrated. ACS is calculated using the following formula: TOVA ACS = Response Time Z score (Half 1) + d' Z score (Half 2) + Variability Z score (Total) + 1.80 where Response Time is the average time it takes to respond correctly to a target, d' score is a response discriminability score reflecting the ratio of hits to "false alarms", and Variability is a measure of consistency of speed of responding based on the standard deviation of the mean correct response times. A score of less than 0 indicates that the subject had similar performance to a normative ADHD population. A lower score indicates a more severe ADHD profile. | Study Day 1 to Study Day 42 |

| To evaluate the change in ADHD symptoms, as determined by change in the ADHD Rating Scale-IV with adult prompts inattention sub-scale and total scale scores, after 6 weeks of treatment with AKL-T01 | Change in the Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale-IV inattention sub-scale and total scale scores. Measures taken at Baseline Visit (Day 1) and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit (Day 42). ADHD Rating Scale-IV is a clinician-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire is an 18-item scale that provides a rating of the severity of symptoms for Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity. The total score is obtained by adding the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscale raw scores. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale; None (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3). A higher score indicates more severe ADHD symptoms and behaviors. |

| Change (Study Day 1 to Study Day 42) in Adult ADHD Quality of Life Questionnaire (AAQoL) total score | Change in the Adult ADHD Quality of Life Questionnaire (AAQoL) total score. Measures taken at Baseline Visit (Day 1) and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit (Day 42). AAQoL has 29 items to assess health-related quality of life during the past two weeks among adults with ADHD. Each item is rated by patients on a five-point Likert scale, Not at all/ Never (1) to Extremely/Very Often (5). The AAQoL has a total score and four subscale scores: Life Productivity, Psychological Health, Life Outlook, Relationships Total and subscale scores are computed by (1) reversing scores for all items except the seven items in the Life Outlook subscale; (2) transforming all item scores to a 0-100 point scale (1=0; 2=25; 3=50; 4=75; 5=100); and (3) summing item scores and dividing by the item count to generate subscale and total scores. The scoring algorithm indicates that the total score can be computed with up to three missing items, and each subscale score can be computed with up to one missing item. |

| Change (Study Day 1 to Study Day 42) in the Adult ADHD Quality of Life Questionnaire (AAQoL) Adult, subscale score for Life Productivity subscale | Change in the Adult ADHD Quality of Life Questionnaire (AAQoL) subscale score for Life Productivity. Measures taken at Baseline Visit (Day 1) and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit (Day 42). AAQoL has 29 items to assess health-related quality of life during the past two weeks among adults with ADHD. Each item is rated by patients on a five-point Likert scale ranging from Not at all/ Never (1) to Extremely/Very Often (5). The AAQoL has a total score and four subscale scores. The subscale, Life Productivity is 11 items, including getting things done on time, completing projects or tasks, remembering important things, and balancing multiple projects. Subscale scores are computed by (1) reversing scores for all items except the seven items in the Life Outlook subscale; (2) transforming all item scores to a 0-100 point scale (1=0; 2=25; 3=50; 4=75; 5=100); and (3) summing item scores and dividing by the item count to generate subscale scores. | Study Day 1 to Study Day 42 |

Measures taken at Baseline Visit (Day 1) and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit (Day 42). CAASRS:S is a Likert scale, 26-question questionnaire used to rate a patient's current functioning ability. The scores are computed by 0 = Not at all, never; 1 = Just a little, once in a while; 2 = Pretty much, often; and 3 = Very much, very frequently. | Study Day 1 to Study Day 42 |

The questionnaire is an 18-item scale that provides a rating of the severity of symptoms for Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity. The total score is obtained by adding the Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity subscale raw scores. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale; None (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3).

AAQoL has 29 items to assess health-related quality of life during the past two weeks among adults with ADHD. Each item is rated by patients on a five-point Likert scale ranging from Not at all/ Never (1) to Extremely/Very Often (5). The AAQoL yields a total score (based on all 29 items) and four subscale scores. Subscale scores are computed by (1) reversing scores for all items except the seven items in the Life Outlook subscale; (2) transforming all item scores to a 0-100 point scale (1=0; 2=25; 3=50; 4=75; 5=100); and (3) summing item scores and dividing by the item count to generate subscale and total scores. The scoring algorithm indicates that the total score can be computed with up to three missing items, and each subscale score can be computed with up to one missing item. | Study Day 1 to Study Day 42 |
| Change (Study Day 1 to Study Day 42) in TOVA metrics other than ACS, Ex-Gaussian Tau Total | To evaluate changes in the following additional Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) metrics other than Attention Comparison Score (ACS) - Ex-Gaussian Tau.

H1 refers to the first half of the test where target stimulus is infrequent (1 target to 3.5 non-targets), and H2 represents the second half where target stimulus is frequent (3.5 targets to 1 non-target). Measures at Day 1 and Exit/Post-Treatment Visit Day 42. | Study Day 1 to Study Day 42 |
| Change (Study Day 1 to Study Day 42) in TOVA metrics other than ACS, Response Time Mean Standard Score H1 | To evaluate changes in the following additional Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) metrics other than Attention Comparison Score (ACS) - Response Time Mean Standard Score H1.
