NCT ID: NCT06396507 Completed - Scabies Clinical Trials

Sulfur vs. Different Regimes of Permethrin for Scabies

Start date: March 15, 2022
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) labeled scabies as a neglected tropical disease. It is a serious health problem especially in poor developing countries like Syria, where overcrowding, poverty, and war consequences are considered major factors for spreading the disease. Permethrin lotion or cream is the treatment of choice for scabies, and it is applied once a week for two consecutive weeks according to the global guidelines. However, most practitioners in Syria do not adhere to this standard regimen, and a variety of regimens are used instead based mostly on clinical experience. In this study, the investigators are comparing four different regimens of permethrin application and comparing Sulfur to permethrin in terms of efficacy and safety.

Comparison of Topical 5% Permethrin and Topical 10% Sulfur in the Treatment of Scabies

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Sarcoptes scabiei is responsible for a skin infection called scabies. Permethrin is most widely used anti-scabicidel drug and is taken as drug of choice because of its efficacy, safety and patient's compliance. Sulfur 6-33%, as cream, ointment or lotion, is recommended by the European guidelines as an effective alternative treatment and is among the oldest treatments used for scabies. It is recommended to be applied for 3 consecutive days. Both permethrin and sulfur have been shown in previous studies to be superior to other anti-scabietic drugs in terms of efficacy. Two studies showed that permethrin was more efficacious than sulfur, whereas a single study showed otherwise. Therefore, only a few studies are available to find a direct comparison of the efficacy of topical 5% permethrin and topical 10% sulfur in the treatment of scabies and none of them have been carried out in Pakistan. The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of topical 5% permethrin cream and sulfur 10% ointment in the treatment of scabies.

Ivermectin/ Permethrin for Scabies

Start date: January 25, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Scabies is a skin disease characterized by intense itching that worsens at night. It is very contagious, still has a high occurrence rate, and impacts patient quality of life. The use of scabicide followed by a clean and healthy lifestyle is the principle of scabies therapy. The primary treatment option for scabies is permethrin 5% cream. Ivermectin is an alternate treatment for scabies.

Comparative Study Between Topical Permethrin 5% and Oral Ivermectin for the Treatment of Scabies

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Globally, Scabies infects 300m people each year. In children of developing countries, its prevalence is expected to be about 5 to 10%.In Pakistan, Scabies accounts for 38% of dermatological diseases. Males were more prone to infestation than females, and early school-aged children were the most vulnerable. It was more widespread in urban than in rural areas. A distinct seasonal pattern emerged, with the biggest infestation occurring in the winter and the lowest in the summer. Scabies risk factors estimated 89% of the variation in its prevalence. The classic scabies symptoms include an erythematous papular eruption, burrows, and intense itching. It is usually transmitted by prolonged skin-skin contact. Predilection sites are fingers, axilla, elbows, waist, belly, groin, genital area, etc. Classic scabies can be diagnosed by proper taking history and clinical symptoms. Some of the clinical variations of scabies are Crusted, nodular, and bullous. On examination under a microscope of scrapings collected from skin lesions, finding the mites, eggs, confirms the infestation of scabies . Topical permethrin and oral ivermectin are the medications of choice for scabies mite elimination. Topical Permethrin 5% applied for 9-14 hours for adults than for children only 8-9 hours. Permethrin 5% only single dose is enough but the second dose can be applied after an interval of 2 weeks if the etiology is still there. Ivermectin is now used to treat scabies, with an effective dosage of 150 to 200 μg/kg given once or may give twice after interval of two weeks. The positives include a single dosage and improved compliance in resistant infestations and situations where head-to-toe topical administration is logistically problematic, such as huge outbreaks or mentally impaired individuals. Fever, arthralgia, myalgia, dizziness, headache, hypotension, tachycardia, and lymphadenopathy have all been reported as adverse effects. There have also been reports of a prolonged prothrombin time, a transient EKG, and variations in liver enzymes. The study's implications are to analyze the safety and efficacy of these two drugs in order to better treat patients with evidence-based management and rule out any potential adverse effects.

Better Disease Control by Multidrug Regimen in Scabies

Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Scabies is associated with significant discomfort and social taboo. Existing treatment regimen frequently fails due to lack of patient compliance. We compared single use regimen to existing standard repeat application regimen for treatment of scabies.

NCT ID: NCT05117528 Completed - Clinical trials for Microbial Colonization

Streptococcus Pyogenes Carriage Acquisition and Transmission Study

SpyCATS
Start date: July 27, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a bacteria which causes severe infections and leads to deadly diseases such as rheumatic heart disease which kills over 300,000 people a year globally, particularly in low-income countries. It is not know how GAS is spread between people, how often people carry GAS in their throat or on their skin without having symptoms, or what factors increase the chance of this occurring. It is important to understand these factors in order to know how to reduce GAS-related disease. This study will follow 444 people in The Gambia, over 12 months, taking samples from the throats and skin of people living in the same households, and asking questions about themselves and their behaviour, at regular intervals. By taking samples over time, the investigators hope to understand how common it is to carry GAS without having symptoms, how GAS is spread between people, and whether carrying GAS leads to more GAS infections in people or their household members. The study will use state-of-the-art techniques to look at the DNA of GAS bacteria that we find, and combine this with a mathematical model to investigate how different strains spread to people within and between households in the community.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Individual vs. Household Treatment for Scabies in Lambaréné, Gabon

Start date: October 4, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

It is unclear whether individual treatment of scabies is similarly effective compared to household treatment. This study therefore compares these two treatment strategies with topical benzyl benzoate for treating scabies in Lambaréné and surroundings in Gabon. Subjects presenting with uncomplicated scabies are randomized into either the Individual Treatment group, where only the affected subjects receive treatment, or the Household Treatment group, where all family members are treated in parallel to the affected subjects regardless of signs and symptoms. The primary endpoint is clinical cure after 28 days; the secondary endpoint is the proportion of affected household members per household after 28 days.
