New study aims to find best scabies treatment for babies
NCT ID NCT07247630
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial will test different ways of using permethrin cream to treat scabies in 68 infants and children aged 1 month to 4 years. The goal is to see which strategy works best to kill the mites and relieve itching. Researchers will check skin scrapings under a microscope to confirm the infection is gone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Permethrin 5% cream
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the best way to use permethrin to clear scabies in very young children, improving treatment guidelines.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The trial hasn't started yet, and the outcome is based on skin scrapings, not long-term relief.
