3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
significant methodological deficiencies
Remarks:
The study was disregarded since positive reactions observed could have been caused by cross reactions with Isoeugenol.

- Description of patch: Test item was applied under Finn Chambers (using filter paper discs for the ethanol dilutions)
- Vehicle / solvent: Ethanol
- Concentrations: 0.13, 0.4 and 1.2% in ethanol

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
NO. OF PERSONS WITH REACTIONS
- 12 individuals showed a reaction. 6 (3.9%) had an allergic reaction to 1.2% isoeugenyl acetate at Day 4. The reactions to the other 2 dilutions tended to be graded. However the positive reactions observed could have been caused by cross reactions with Isoeugenol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study was disregarded since positive reactions observed could have been caused by cross reactions with Isoeugenol.
Executive summary:

In a patch test, 155 consecutive subjects were patch tested to isoeugenyl acetate (0.13, 0.4 and 1.2% in ethanol) under occlusive patch. Two days after application, skin reactions were scored on Day 2 and 4.

 

12 individuals showed a reaction. 6 (3.9%) had an allergic reaction to 1.2% isoeugenyl acetate at Day 4. The reactions to the other 2 dilutions tended to be graded. However the positive reactions observed could have been caused by cross reactions with Isoeugenol.

 

The study was disregarded since positive reactions observed could have been caused by cross reactions with Isoeugenol.
