Study summary

To determine and compare the safety and efficacy of permethrin foam 4% and permethrin foam 5% with that of vehicle in subjects with scabies.

Read the detailed description

It is anticipated that a majority of subjects will require and receive a single treatment; however, those subjects not showing improvement at the follow-up visit 2 weeks after initial treatment will be treated a second time. Those subjects originally assigned to vehicle for the first treatment will receive a "re-treatment" with one of the active doses.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of active scabies infection.
  • Subject is in good general health with normal appearing skin in noninfested areas.
  • Females must be , surgically sterile or use an effective method of with a negative pregnancy test (10 years of age and older) at study start.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is pregnant, lactating, or is planning to become pregnant during the study.
  • Subject has used any ectoparasiticide within the three weeks prior to study start.
  • Subject has signs of systemic infection or is receiving systemic therapy for an infectious disease.
  • Subject has severe cutaneous bacterial or fungal infections requiring therapy or heavily crusted lesions consistent with Norwegian scabies.
  • Subject is currently enrolled in an drug or device study or has used an investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to study start.
  • Subject whose close personal contacts will not comply with standard of care for fomite management.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Who Received a Single Treatment of the Assigned Test Article That Were Designated as "Treatment Success"

    The primary efficacy variable is "treatment success". In protocol v2.0, "treatment success" was defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). In protocol v3.0, "treatment success" was defined as an "eradication of infestation": a) no burrows, b) a reduction in the Signs/Symptoms, and c) no evidence of a live mite on microscopy.

    Time frame: Day 28

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Disease-related Signs and Symptoms for Those Subjects Provided With Re-treatment at Day 14 Who Show Improvement in Their Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score at Day 28

    The change in the total score of signs and symptoms related to the condition in each treatment group at Days 14 and 28, as well as at Day 42 for those subjects provided with re-treatment at Day 14 who show improvement in their IGA score at Day 28. Scale details: The overall average presence of the individual signs and symptoms of scabies was evaluated over the entire body. Erythema, papules, pustules, crusting, scaling, excoriations, and pruritus were assessed as follows for each sign and symptom: None=0, Trace=1, Mild=2, Moderate=3, Severe=4. From these assessments, the total score of the Signs and Symptoms (from 0 to 28, higher scores mean a worse outcome) was calculated as the sum of the individual signs and symptoms scores at Baseline and Days 2, 14, 28, and 42 (if applicable).The change from baseline in the total score can range from -28 as the best reduction possible (better outcome) to +28 as the worst increase possible (worse outcome) in signs and symptoms.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 14, 28, and 42

  2. Number of Re-treated Subjects Designated as "Treatment Success"

    Each subject was designated as "re-treatment success" at Day 42 based upon the criteria in the protocol to which he/she was enrolled. In protocol v2.0, "treatment success" was defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). In protocol v3.0, "treatment success" was defined as an "eradication of infestation": a) no burrows, b) a reduction in the Signs/Symptoms, and c) no evidence of a live mite on microscopy.

    Time frame: Day 42

  3. Number of Subjects Designated as "Treatment Success" Following One Treatment With an Active Dose

    The proportion of subjects designated as "treatment success" following one treatment versus two treatments. In protocol v2.0, "treatment success" was defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). In protocol v3.0, "treatment success" was defined as an "eradication of infestation": a) no burrows, b) a reduction in the Signs/Symptoms, and c) no evidence of a live mite on microscopy. Subjects originally assigned to vehicle treatment and re-treated on Day 14 with an active dose will be included with the single treatment group for this analysis. Subjects who did not improve at Day 14 were counted as failures at Day 28. Subjects who improved at Day 14 and received a second treatment in error were counted as failures at Day 28.

    Time frame: Day 28 and Day 42
