A Randomized Controlled Double-blind Trial Assessing the Efficacy of a 400µg/kg Ivermectin /5% Permethrin / Emollient Cream Regimen in Patients With Crusted Scabies as Compared to a 200µg/kg Ivermectin /5% Permethrin /Emollient Cream Regimen
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ivermectin 200 µg/kg and Ivermectin 400 µg/kg for Gale and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 133 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Severe forms of scabies (crusted scabies and profuse scabies) require a specific treatment. Ivermectin is a recommended treatment in common forms of scabies and represents a promising treatment in crusted scabies in case reports. However, response to ivermectin remains variable among studies, and there is no consensus on the schemes to adopt (dosages and administrations). Ivermectin at 400 µg/kg has already been used, without showing toxicity (in head lice treatment in particular). Investigators propose to demonstrate that 400µg/kg ivermectin dosage will show better efficacy than a 200µg/kg in patients with severe forms of scabies (crusted and profuse).
