The effective dose of moxidectin to treat human scabies is not known. This study aims to provide proof of concept that a single dose of moxidectin is effective in eliminating the scabies parasite in humans and to enable the determination of an optimal dose of moxidectin for treatment of scabies for further clinical studies.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Aged ≥ 18 years.
✓. Provision of written informed consent.

✓. Agree to the use of reliable contraceptive measures if female or male partner of a female of child-bearing potential from Screening and until 6 months after treatment with study product.
Exclusion criteria
✕. History of chronic or recurring dermatologic disease (other than scabies) that could interfere with the diagnosis and/or subsequent clinical assessment of scabies.
✕. Diagnosis of crusted/Norwegian scabies or scabies that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would require treatment with more than one standard of care (e.g. scabies requiring concurrent topical and oral treatment).
✕. Received any treatment for scabies within 7 days of Screening, including but not limited to permethrin, ivermectin, benzyl benzoate, lindane, crotamiton, malathion, and/or tea tree oil.
