FDA approved centanafadine (Simtriyo), the first NDSRI CNS stimulant for ADHD in patients aged 6+ years, following phase 3 trials showing statistically significant symptom improvement with effects emerging by week 1. The drug carries boxed warnings for suicidal ideation in children and abuse/addiction potential, with commercial availability expected after DEA scheduling.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Drug Discovery.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building ADHD diagnostic tools, patient monitoring software, or clinical decision support for psychiatrists, a new drug class has just entered the market with mandatory close monitoring requirements for suicidality and abuse risk. That compliance and safety infrastructure is now table stakes.
