Study Summary

In a previous phase II study, the safety and efficacy of a novel formulation of malathion 0.5% was evaluated in patients 2 years of age and older. Based on the results of that study, this formulation is currently in a phase III study for that population. The current study will use blood markers and clinical evaluations to determine the safety and tolerability of this formulation when used in children 6-24 months of age.

Primary Outcome

Each patient (aged 6 - 24 months) was assessed at 1 hour (Day 0). The mean percent change (reduction) in plasma and RBC cholinesterase activity from baseline to 1 hr after application was calculated and accompanied by 95% confidence intervals. If the half-widths of the derived confidence intervals are sufficiently narrow, it will demonstrate that any observed reductions in plasma and RBC cholinesterase activity fall within established safety guidelines.
