What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects That Are Lice-free After 2 Treatments With Test Product (Including All Baseline Infestations).

    Clinical efficacy is reflected by the % of subjects that are lice-free after 2 topical applications (at day 0 \& day 7 respectively) of the test product. In this analysis, all baseline infestations (mild, moderate, severe) have been included. Assessment is performed at study end (visit 4, day 10).

    A mild infestation corresponds to 5-9 lice and/or nymphs A moderate infestation corresponds to 10-24 lice and/or nymphs A severe infestation corresponds to 25 or more lice and/or nymphs

    Measured: Day 10

    None: no lesions visible on the scalp; Mild: one or two lesions visible with crusting or other evidence of infection; Moderate: presence of more than two lesions with crusting or other evidence of infection, but not generalized across the scalp; Severe: lesions with crusting or other evidence of infection, involving most of the scalp.

    Measured: Day 0, Day 1, Day 7, Day 10

  9. Effect of All Investigational Treatments on Eye Irritation, as Assessed by a Blinded Clinical Investigator.

    The occurrence and degree of eye irritation (stinging, burning sensation, and/or pain) is rated by the blinded clinical investigator at each visit, using the following scores: none (best outcome), mild, moderate, and severe (worst outcome).

    None: no stinging, burning or pain Mild: slight mild stinging, burning or pain Moderate: moderate stinging, burning or pain Severe: severe stinging, burning or pain.

    Measured: Day 0, Day 1, Day 7, Day 10

  10. Global Tolerability, Evaluated at Study End (Visit 4, Day 10)

    Global tolerability is defined as the general well-being and comfort of the subjects. This parameter is assessed at day 10 in subjects, treated with either test product or reference product, respectively. The subject is asked to score his general feeling at study end and must provide a justification for his/her answer. Scoring was performed as follows: very good (best case), good, moderate, or poor (worst case).

    Measured: day 10

  11. Assessment of Adverse Events Occurring After 1 and/or 2 Treatments With Both Investigational Products.

    Recording Adverse Events and investigating the relationship with the treatment. At each visit (D0: first treatment; D1: 24h post-treatment assessment; D7: second treatment; D10: final assessment), the clinical staff is recording adverse events (if any) and evaluates the correlation with the treatment.

    Measured: Study period (10 days) + in case of adverse events: clinical staff will monitor the trial subject's safety from the occurrence of an AE until recovery, return to baseline or a stable state will be achieved.
