Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Proportion of Index Subjects Who Are Lice-free at All Follow-up Visits Through to the Day 14 Visit.
14 days

Proportion of index subjects randomized into the study who are lice free at all follow up visits through to the Day 14 visit. The index subject of a household was the youngest person within that household with at least 3 live lice present, as assessed over a period of up to 15 minutes at the Screening Visit.

Percentage of Hatched Eggs Pre Treatment Relative to Post Treatment
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.

Potential of Abametapir Lotion to Cause Irritation After Repeated Topical Application to the Healthy Skin of Humans.
21 days

The evaluation of irritation is based on Modified Berger procedure and is accepted as standard methodology for assessment of cumulative irritation potential. The assessment of all patch sites for irritation symptoms will be visually assessed by a trained evaluator using the numerical equivalents (0-7) where 0 is the least irritation potential and 7 is the maximum irritation potential. The scoring will be done on daily basis from baseline through Day 21 visit. The final reported outcome is a mean of the scores over 21 days.

8 weeks

Evaluation of dermal reactions at the application sites will be assessed clinically using a visual scale that rates the degree of erythema, edema, and other signs of cutaneous irritation
