All trials for Scabies All trials of ivermectin infant formula preparation All trials of Standard ivermectin 3mg tablet
This is a clinical trial to compare two formulations of the drug ivermectin: the standard 3mg tablet formulation versus a newly developed infant formula preparation. The goal of the trial is to determine if the new formulation functions in the same way, tastes the same and causes no new side effects. The trial will involve 52 participants who will be healthy adult volunteers. The participants will receive both formulations - the order they receive each formulation will be assigned randomly (similar to the toss of a coin).
Randomised open-label cross-over trial of 52 healthy adult volunteers comparing two ivermectin formulations: the standard tablet formulation, and a newly developed infant formula preparation. Participants will be randomised to receive one of these two formulations at the start of the trial and after a 21 day wash out period will be given the alternative formulation. Blood samples will be taken to determine serum drug concentrations. The bioequivalence, tolerability and drug-related adverse effects will be evaluated.
