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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
X92001483 (medical device shampoo with physical mode of action)
What this could lead to
If it works, this shampoo could offer a new way to prevent head lice reinfestation without relying on chemical insecticides.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 98 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The product's preventive effect may not be better than existing treatments.
