Mean Plasma Concentration of Ivermectin in Samples Collected Before Application and at Specified Post-Application Time Points
Plasma concentrations of ivermectin were measured by validated and appropriate bioanalytical instruments and methods with a sensitivity of 0.05 ng/mL before application and on Day 1 (0.5, 1, and 6 hours), Day 2 (24 hours post-application), Day 8 (7 days post-application), and Day 15 (14 days post-application).
Time frame: Before; 0.5, 1, 6, 24 hours and Up to 14 days post-application

Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Events Following Ivermectin Treatment
Adverse events were assessed at each visit and during the follow up phone call on Day 28.
Time frame: Day 1 up Day 28 post-application
Percentage of Participants Who Were Lice-Free by Visit Post-treatment With Ivermectin.
Eradication of live lice was assessed by visual examination of the scalp and hair.
Time frame: Day 2, Day 8 and Day 15 post-application
Percentage of Participants Who Were Lice-Free by Day 2 That Were Maintained Through Day 8 and Day 15 Post-treatment With Ivermectin.
Eradication of live lice was assessed by visual examination of the scalp and hair before and following application of Ivermectin.
Time frame: Day 2, Day 8 and Day 15 post-application
Liver Function Test Results at Before (Day 1) and Following Ivermectin Application on Days 2, 8, and 15 Post-application
Liver function tests (Alkaline Phosphatase, Alanine Aminotransferase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, and Lactate Dehydrogenase) were performed before Ivermectin application on Day 1 (baseline) and on Days 2, 8, and 15 after application.
Time frame: Day 1, Day 2, Day 8 and Day 15 post-application
Liver Function Test Results at Before (Baseline) and Following Ivermectin Application on Days 2, 8, and 15 Post-application
