How Soolantra Affects Patients

Ivermectin is a medicine used to treat parasite infections. It is made up of a group of five-ringed molecules derived from a type of bacteria found in soil. Avermectins, the group that Ivermectin belongs to, are effective against many parasites and can be used to treat a range of different types of infection.

How Soolantra works in the body

Ivermectin works by targeting the nerve and muscle cells of parasites, causing them to become paralyzed and eventually die. It also disrupts the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps regulate the central nervous system. Additionally, Ivermectin can prevent the development of parasites in their mother's womb, as well as stop them from being released from the mother's body.

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

I had rosacea for years and didn't get much help from prescriptions. I decided to try Soolantra, and my rosacea started clearing up within four days! After a month, it was completely gone. I've never had such good results with any other product or medication.

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

Soolantra has been my saving grace. After nine months of use, the bumps and redness are gone! I've also had pulsed dye laser treatment to remove the tenalgiectasia, which has worked wonders. If I miss a couple days of Soolantra, though, it starts getting red again.

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

This cream has completely changed my life. I've had a red complexion my whole adult life, and just assumed it was genetic. But when I started getting small itchy bumps, I decided to visit a dermatologist. They recommended this cream, and after just three days of using it before bed, my face is smoother than it has EVER been! So grateful for this miracle cream!

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

I was diagnosed with rosacea a couple of months ago and my dermatologist prescribed this. I've been using it every night for the past two months and it's done wonders for the pustules and bumps, but unfortunately my redness has gotten worse over time and I flush more frequently now.

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

Soolantra was unfortunately ineffective at treating my rosacea; however, it did work very well to get rid of any scabby or peeling skin on my face. The catch is that the effects are only temporary, so I have to keep using the cream.

Soolantra for Acne Rosacea

I've been using this for about a month now, and unfortunately my symptoms have gotten worse. I'm getting pimples in places I've never had them before, like my neck. Not sure if I should continue using it or not, since it seems to work for most people pretty quickly.

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.
