|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OTC | NCT00244439 ↗ | Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Malathion Formulation in the Treatment of Head Lice | Completed | Taro Pharmaceuticals USA | Phase 3 | 2005-12-01 | Current treatments for head lice include over-the-counter products such as permethrin and prescription products such as OVIDE (malathion 0.5%) lotion. In a previous phase II study, a novel, easy-to-use malathion 0.5% formulation was found to be a safe treatment for head lice. The current study will compare the efficacy and safety of this novel formulation of malathion with OVIDE and with an over-the-counter permethrin product. |
| New Formulation | NCT00927472 ↗ | Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of a Novel Malathion Formulation in Patients 2 Years and Older With Head Lice | Completed | Taro Pharmaceuticals USA | Phase 3 | 2009-08-01 | In this study, Malathion Gel 0.5% will be compared to Nix (permethrin 1%) as a treatment for head lice in patients 2 years of age and older. Malathion Gel 0.5% is a new formulation of an established head lice treatment. The new formulation has been evaluated in 2 previous studies of patients 2 years of age and older. |

Malathion Gel 0.5% is a new formulation of an established head lice treatment. The new formulation has been evaluated in 2 previous studies of patients 2 years of age and older. |
| OTC | NCT01514513 ↗ | Efficacy and Safety of Licefreee Spray Against Nix 1% Permethrin | Completed | South Florida Family Health and Research Centers | N/A | 2011-08-01 | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Licefreee Spray in eradicating head lice as compared to Nix, both are available over-the-counter lice treatments. |
| OTC | NCT05643820 ↗ | Comparison of Oral Ivermectin and Permethrin 5% Lotion in Treatment of Pediculosis Capitis | Completed | Combined Military Hospital Abbottabad | Phase 1 | 2022-03-01 | In children, pediculosis is a common ectoparasitic infestation. Infestation of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) causes a variety of physical symptoms, including pruritus, excoriation, cervical lymphadenopathy, and conjunctivitis1. It also has a number of negative social consequences, including parental anxiety and stigmatization of infested children2. It is a significant public health issue that primarily affects school-aged children aged 8 to 113. In developing nations, prevalence rates of up to 40% have been reported4. The four urban areas of KPK (NWFP) reported prevalence of 36.7%5. People with a low socioeconomic background and poor hygiene are more likely to be affected6. Pediculosis capitis has been treated using a variety of treatment modalities. They include both physician prescription and over-the-counter medications. Permethrin or ivermectin had been used topically or orally. Permethrin is a neurotoxin that is synthesized. It is a pyrethroid neurotoxic that targets voltage-sensitive Sodium ion receptors in the neurological system of the insect, triggering nerve depolarization, hyperexcitation, muscular paralysis, and, eventually, parasite death7. Ivermectin is antiparasitic medication, it is possible to treat diseases like lymphatic filariasis, and ectoparasite infestations, primarily scabies, with ivermectin because it binds to glutamate gated chloride ion receptors of invertebrates and disrupts neurotransmission8. The rationale of this study is to study while comparing effectiveness of oral ivermectin and topical permethrin in management of pediculosis. The topical medication usage is problematic and had reported drug resistance9. There has been less regional or national research on the effectiveness of oral Ivermectin, so doctors less frequently use it in our department. Instead, the patients are treated for pediculosis capitis with topical Permethrin. |

| NCT00262418 ↗ | Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Ivermectin to Permethrin | Completed | University Ghent | Phase 2 | 2004-07-01 | Comparison of the efficacy and safety of a single administration of ivermectin to a single administration of permethrin for the treatment of scabies |
| NCT00376155 ↗ | Comparison of Two Strategies for the Delivery of IPTc | Completed | Medical Research Council | Phase 4 | 2006-05-01 | Antimalarial chemoprophylaxis can reduce morbidity and mortality from malaria in children. However, this approach to malaria control has not been implemented widely because of concerns over its possible effect on the development of resistance and natural immunity. Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) may be able to achieve some of the beneficial effects of chemoprophylaxis without its drawbacks. Recently, it has been shown that IPT given to Senegalese children under the age of five years on three occasions during the malaria transmission season reduced the incidence of clinical malaria by approximately 90%. However, it is uncertain how this intervention can be most effectively delivered. Therefore, 26 Maternal and Child Health (MCH) trekking clinics in Upper River Division, south of the River Gambia, each with an average catchment population of 400-500 children under 5 years of age, will be randomly allocated to receive IPT from the MCH trekking team or from a IPT dispenser (village health worker, traditional birth attendant or a community mother based in a primary health care village). Treatment with a single dose of sulfadoxine /pyrimethamine (SP) plus three doses of amodiaquine will be given to all study subjects at monthly intervals on three occasions during the months of September, October and November. The primary end points will be the incidence of clinical attacks of malaria detected by passive case detection, and cost-effectiveness of the delivery methods. Important secondary endpoints will be the coverage and the equity of coverage of IPT in preventing malaria morbidity. |
