Ivermectin

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat worm infestations and head lice. It is derived from a type of antibiotic and is usually safe and well-tolerated. In 2020, ivermectin gained notoriety for its potential use in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19; however, more research is needed to determine its efficacy. Until high-quality, peer-reviewed evidence becomes available, it is recommended that other therapies such as vaccines be used instead.

Effectiveness

How Sklice Affects Patients

Ivermectin is a semi-synthetic drug used to treat parasites. It belongs to a group of drugs called avermectins, which are derived from a bacteria found in soil. Avermectins are powerful and effective against many types of parasites.

How Sklice works in the body

Ivermectin binds to specific channels in nerve and muscle cells of parasites. This causes an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane, leading to paralysis and death. It is also believed to act as an agonist of the neurotransmitter GABA, stopping its ability to transmit signals. Ivermectin may also prevent _O. volvulus_ microfilariae from developing normally and releasing from the uterus of female worms.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed measure of Sklice is reliant upon the established condition, including Enterobiasis, Strongyloidiasis caused by Strongyloides Stercoralis Infection and Malaria. The volume of dosage is contingent upon the technique of delivery (e.g. Gel - Topical or Lotion - Topical) featured in the accompanying table.

Sklice Toxicity & Overdose Risk

When used properly, topical ivermectin is unlikely to cause serious harm. In cases of accidental or intentional exposure to large amounts of ivermectin, people may experience side effects such as rash, swelling, headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, itching, and skin irritation. If too much ivermectin is taken orally, it can be fatal in mice and rats. If someone overdoses on ivermectin, supportive measures such as fluids, electrolytes, and pressor agents may be used. In addition, vomiting and/or gast

Trichuris trichiura Eggs for Whipworm Infection

18 - 45
All Sexes
Washington, United States

A Controlled Human Infection Model (CHIM) is being developed to provide early proof-of-concept that experimental infection with the intestinal nematode, Trichuris trichiura, is feasible and safe. The proposed model consists of enrolling consenting, healthy, trichuriasis-naïve adults and challenging them with the investigational product, Trichuris trichiura Egg Inoculum, to assess their ability to result in detectable infection. The proposed study will be a feasibility study that will consist of administering different doses of the Trichuris trichiura Egg Inoculum to healthy adult volunteers to determine the optimal dose (i.e., number of T. trichiura eggs) that is safe, well-tolerated and results in consistent infection.

Natroba Topical Suspension for Scabies

1 - 4
All Sexes
Anaheim, CA

A population of approximately 50 pediatric subjects will be enrolled to assess the PK of spinosad and benzyl alcohol for 3 hours following a single, full-body topical application (open label) on a single in-clinic visit (Day 1, or Day 2 if screening only on Day 1). There will be approximately 50 subjects ages 1 month to 3 years 11 months of age enrolled with the goal of completing approximately 16 subjects. With assistance from a caregiver, Natroba will be applied over the entire body from the neck down to the toes (including the soles of the feet) and to the hairline, temples, forehead and possibly the scalp (if a scabies infestation is present on the scalp). The open-label Investigational Product (IP) will remain on the skin for at least 6 hours before removing the IP by gentle washing. The subjects will stay in the clinic until the 3-hour procedures are completed. Blood draws will be taken at 0 hours just prior to treatment, and then at 0.5 and 3.0 hours post-treatment. Heel sticks are likely to be the mode of blood collection for children less than 2 years of age. A ±5-minute time window will be allowed for all post-treatment blood samples. Removal of IP can occur by the caregiver at home after it has been on the skin for at least 6 hours before bathing the child. Safety will be assessed with adverse events (AEs), general skin and eye irritation assessments, and pre-dose and pre-discharge laboratory evaluations. Following the sample collections subjects will be released from the clinic and directed to their primary care physician for follow-up. Subjects will be provided scabies medications upon discharge to dispense to family members. These include 5% Permethrin for those in the household that are less than 4 years of age and Natroba for those in the household 4 years of age and older. Subjects who terminate early will not be given these medications to dispense to family members.
