BOSTON, June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Corium, LLC, a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company leading the development and commercialization of novel central nervous system (CNS) therapies, announced today that the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Psychiatry published an analysis of a yearlong open-label safety study of Corium's attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medicine AZSTARYS (serdexmethylphenidate [SDX] and dexmethylphenidate [d-MPH]).
