Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 325698 0
To determine the safety of delivering a five-day tapering dose regimen of lisdexamfetamine (LDX) for the treatment of acute methamphetamine (MA) withdrawal in inpatients as measured by the number and severity of adverse events recorded in the participant medical record
Timepoint [1] 325698 0
Day 5 post commencement of dosing
Primary outcome [2] 325994 0
To determine the feasibility of delivering a five-day tapering dose regimen of lisdexamfetamine (LDX) for the treatment of acute methamphetamine (MA) withdrawal in inpatients. Tools used to assess this outcome will be 1) the time taken to enroll sample (weeks and months to achieve recruitment of target sample) and the proportion of screen failures as collected in study records (based on eligibility criteria)
Timepoint [2] 325994 0
Baseline to study completion
Secondary outcome [1] 388789 0
To describe the acceptability of a five-day tapering dose regimen of LDX for the treatment of acute MA withdrawal in treatment-seeking patients as measured by the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM II), medication adherence (e.g. number of prescribed LDX doses taken) and concomitant medications recorded
Timepoint [1] 388789 0
Day 5 post commencement of dosing
Secondary outcome [2] 388790 0
To describe participant retention to the study protocol reported at Days 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28. Measured as average number of days until participant discharge or withdrawal from study as collected in study database. Data reported separately and in composite.
Timepoint [2] 388790 0
Day 5, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28 post commencement of dosing
Secondary outcome [3] 388791 0
To describe the changes in withdrawal severity associated with a five-day tapering dose regimen of LDX in people acutely withdrawing from MA as measured by change in subjective withdrawal severity (Amphetamine Withdrawal Questionnaire [AWQ])
Timepoint [3] 388791 0
Baseline, Day 5, Day 7, Day 28 post commencement of dosing
Secondary outcome [4] 388792 0
To describe the sleep-wake cycle of people with acute MA withdrawal in an inpatient withdrawal setting receiving a five-day tapering dose regimen of LDX as measured by continuous actigraphy and subjective sleep diary (Consensus Sleep Diary)
Timepoint [4] 388792 0
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 post commencement of dosing
Secondary outcome [5] 389870 0
To describe the changes in craving associated with a five-day tapering dose regimen of LDX in people acutely withdrawing from MA as measured by change in craving (Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) over time.
Timepoint [5] 389870 0
Baseline, Day 5, Day 7, Day 28 post commencement of dosing

Statistical methods / analysis
This is a pilot study and as such no power calculations have been completed. The study will enroll 15 participants, conventional for an open-label single-arm study.
Primary and secondary outcomes will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Continuous measures such as mean changes in withdrawal and craving scores from Baseline to Day 5 Day 7 and Day 28 will be analysed. For categorical measures such as the presence of adverse events, rates will be analysed using chi-square and relative risk.
