ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- IN-LIFE DATES: From: March 8, 1982 To: April 20, 1982

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Concentration / amount:
100%
Day(s)/duration:
10 days
Adequacy of induction:
other: a pre-test showed the test substance showed no significant evidence of irritation, so test subjects were pretested with 3% SLS.
Challenge
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Concentration / amount:
100%
Day(s)/duration:
48 hrs
Adequacy of challenge:
not specified
No. of animals per dose:
27 (Originally 30, but 3 volunteers did not complete the study.)

RANGE FINDING TESTS:

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 5 exposures for 48 hrs
- Exposure period: 10 days total
- Site: forearms
- Frequency of applications: every other day
- Duration: 48 hrs

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 27
- Day(s) of challenge: After a 10-14 day rest from the induction
- Exposure period: 48 hrs
- Control group: SLS and petrolatum were used as controls on the same volunteers
- Site: forearms
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 hrs

OTHER: Prior to the induction, patch sites were pretreated with 5% SLS. For the challenge test, 5% SLS was applied 30 minutes prior to the challenge exposure on the left side, and no SLS was used on the right side.
Challenge controls:
SLS and petrolatum were used as controls on the same volunteers.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
SLS

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
5% SLS produced very little reactivity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
No significant irritant or allergic reactions were noted.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization of ethyl decadienoate was tested in a maximization test using 27 human volunteers. No volunteers showed significant reactions during the challenge phase. The test had significant methodoligical deficiencies, most notably, the test substance concentration and scoring system was not reported.
