Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (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
Day 10
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Number of Subjects That Are Lice-free After 2 Treatments With RID Super Max Solution (Including All Baseline Infestations).
Day 10
Number of Subjects That Are Lice-free After 2 Treatments With Nix crème (Including All Baseline Infestations).
Day 10
Number of Subjects That Are Lice-free After 1 Treatment With Pouxit Végétal (Including All Baseline Infestations).
Day 10
