Brazil13 participantsStarted 2025-02-25
Plain-language summary
The EPIC-15 trial will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, acceptability, and efficacy of pediatric ivermectin (CHILD-IVITAB) in scabies infected children weighing 5 to less than 15 kg. This trial will support future efforts to expand the indication of ivermectin treatment to infants weighing 5 to less than 15 kg to treat numerous NTDs, allowing this young age group equitable access to the numerous benefits of pediatric ivermectin therapy
