Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Subjects Who Received a Single Treatment of the Assigned Test Article That Were Designated as "Treatment Success"
Day 28

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.

Secondary Endpoints

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
Baseline, Day 14, 28, and 42
