New shampoo aims to stop head lice from coming back
NCT ID NCT07660354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new shampoo (X92001483) that works by physically trapping and removing head lice, comparing it to a standard medicated rinse (Nix Cream Rinse with 1% permethrin). The goal is to see if the new shampoo is safe, effective at killing lice, and can prevent reinfestation better than the standard treatment alone. About 98 people with head lice will be treated and followed for several weeks.
