Number of Subjects That Are Lice-free After 2 Treatments With Test Product (Including All Baseline Infestations). Primary · Day10

Clinical efficacy is reflected by the % of subjects that are lice-free after 2 topical applications (at day 0 \& day 7 respectively) of the test product. In this analysis, all baseline infestations (mild, moderate, severe) have been included. Assessment is performed at study end (visit 4, day 10). A mild infestation corresponds to 5-9 lice and/or nymphs A moderate infestation corresponds to 10-24 lice and/or nymphs A severe infestation corresponds to 25 or more lice and/or nymphs

Effect of Both Investigational Treatments on Pruritus (Local Tolerability Parameter), as Assessed by a Blinded Clinical Investigator. Secondary · Day 0, Day 1, Day 7, Day10

The occurrence and degree of pruritus is rated by the blinded clinical investigator at each visit, using the following scores: none (best outcome), mild, moderate, and severe (worst outcome). None: the scalp does not itch; Mild: occasional episodes of itching, not bothersome; Moderate: frequent, several times a day, bothersome; Severe: nearly constant, frequent scratching, very bothersome.
