Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate ovicidal efficacy of a single application of abametapir lotion 0.74% w/w intended for the treatment of head lice.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Head Lice Infestation Drug: Abametapir Lotion 0.74% w/w Drug: Vehicle Lotion Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This was a double-blind, randomised, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study in males and females, aged three years and older with active head lice infestation. The study was designed to assess the ovicidal efficacy of a single application of abametapir lotion 0.74% w/w compared to a vehicle control, when applied to the scalp and hair for 10 minutes at the study site. This study used an ex vivo method of assessment for ovicidal efficacy.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Hatched Eggs Pre Treatment Relative to Post Treatment [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Percentage of hatched eggs pre treatment relative to percentage of hatched eggs post treatment for the abametapir and vehicle treated eggs following 14 day incubation. The difference between post treatment percent hatching and pre-treatment percent hatching was calculated i.e. post-treatment minus pre-treatment hatching percent.
