Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy of NatrOVA Creme Rinse - 1% Relative to NIX Creme Rinse in Subjects Infested With Head Lice [ Time Frame: Assessment were made 14 days following the final product treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of primary subjects in the enrolled households who were lice free (no live lice, adults or nymphs), as assessed by the trained evaluator, 14 days after the last treatment (i.e., Day 14 for subjects who treated once and Day 21 for subjects who treated twice).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluation of the Safety of NatrOVA Creme Rinse - 1% Based Upon Reported Adverse Events and Observed Skin/Scalp Reactions. [ Time Frame: Participants were followed for a minimum of 14 days (1 treatment) and a maximum of 21 days (2 treatments) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To evaluate the safety of NatrOVA® 1% Creme Rinse based upon reported adverse events and observed skin/scalp reactions. Additional safety assessments included cutaneous/ocular irritation.

  8. Subjects must agree not to cut or chemically treat their hair in the period between the initial treatment and the final visit.
  9. Subjects/caregiver must demonstrate a clear understanding of his/her requirements for study participation and agree to comply with study instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Individuals with history of irritation or sensitivity to pediculicides or hair care products.
  2. Individuals with any visible skin/scalp condition at the treatment site which, in the opinion of the investigative personnel or Sponsor, will interfere with the evaluation.
  3. Individuals who require treatment with topical salicylic acid, topical corticosteroids, anthralin, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, immunosuppressants, topical hair growth formulations, and topical dandruff treatments.
  4. Infested subjects who have been previously treated with a pediculicide within the 48 hours prior to the study.
  5. Individuals with a condition or illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the objective of the protocol.
  6. Individuals receiving systemic or topical drugs or medications, including systemic antibiotics, which in the opinion of the investigative personnel or study monitor may interfere with the study results.
  7. Individuals who have participated in a clinical trial within the past 30 days.
  8. Individuals (or individuals from households) who, in the opinion of the Investigator, do not understand the requirements for study participation and/or may be likely to exhibit poor compliance.
  9. Individuals with household members who are infested with lice but are unwilling or unable to enroll in the study or to use the standard course of lice treatment.
  10. Females who are pregnant or nursing. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to treatment at Day 0.
