- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS: All eyes were macroscopically examined before and after dissection. Only corneas free of damage were used. Following mounting: the anterior and posterior chambers of each BCOP holder were filled with complete Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) without phenol red and plugged. The holders were incubated at 32 ± 1 ºC for 60 minutes. At the end of the incubation period each cornea was examined for defects. Only corneas free of damage were used.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: The corneas were examined for defects macroscopically. Additionally, only corneas with opacity < 7.0 are discarded, in accordance with the guideline.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3 (Triplicate)
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: 0.9% w/v Sodium chloride solution
SOLVENT CONTROL USED (if applicable): Not applicable.
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: Ethanol; > 99.8% purity
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: 0.75 mL and 10 minutes
TREATMENT METHOD: Closed chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: Yes. A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed. The holders were incubated, anterior chamber facing forward, at 32 ± 1 ºC for 120 minutes.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: At the end of the exposure period the test item and control items were removed from the
anterior chamber and the cornea was rinsed three times with fresh complete EMEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete EMEM without phenol red. The anterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete EMEM without phenol red. A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed.
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: Each holder was incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 ± 1 ºC for 10 minutes. Furthermore, following the final opacity measurement the permeability of the corneas to sodium fluorescein was evaluated. The medium from the anterior chamber was removed and replaced with 1 mL of sodium fluorescein solution (4 mg/mL). The dosing holes were plugged and the holders incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 ± 1 ºC for 90 minutes.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Measured through light transmission through the cornea quantitatively using an opacitometer
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader (OD492)
- Others (e.g, pertinent visual observations, histopathology): Any other pertinent visual observations would be recorded.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA: The mean opacity and mean permeability values (OD492) were used for each treatment group to calculate an in vitro score:
In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD492 value). A test item that induces an In Vitro Irritancy Score >/=55.1 is defined as an ocular corrosive or severe irritant. A test item with an IVIS = 3.0 is predicted to be not irritating to the eye (UN GHS and/or CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 as amended).

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes.
- Range of historical values if different from the ones specified in the test guideline: 1. Ethanol was used for positive control purposes. The test was acceptable if the positive control produced an In Vitro Irritancy Score which fell within two standard deviations of the current historical control data (HCD) mean of for this testing facility. Therefore the In Vitro Irritancy Score should fall within the range of 29.6 to 65.1. ACTUAL: PC IVIS = 45.4
2. sodium chloride 0.9% w/v solution was used for negative control purposes. The test was acceptable if the negative control produced an In Vitro Irritancy Score which is less than or equal to the upper limit for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control of the current historical control data (HCD). When testing liquids the negative control limit for opacity should be ≤2.30 and for permeability ≤0.41. ACTUAL: NC IVIS = 0.7, opacity ≤ 2.0 and permeability ≤ 0.008.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Inconclusive
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study the test item no prediction can be made using Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability model. In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) was 4.3 (> 3.0 and < 55 in the prediction model).
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OECD TG 437 and EU Method B.47 to assess the eye irritancy potential in accordance with GLP of the test item in isolated bovine corneas. The purpose of this test was to identify test items that can induce serious eye damage and to identify test items not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test method is an organotypic model that provides short term maintenance of normal physiological and biochemical function of the bovine cornea in vitro. In this test method, damage by the test item is assessed by quantitative measurements of changes in corneal opacity and permeability. The ocular irritancy of the test substance was tested through topical application for 10 ± 1 minutes and post-exposure incubation for 120 minutes. The negative control responses for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (ethanol), was 45.4 and was within the historical positive control data range (29.6 to 65.1). The test item resulted in a mean in vitro irritancy score (IVIS) of 4.3 after 10 minutes of treatment. Since the IVIS was > 3.0 and < 55, no direct prediction could be made for the test item.
Applicant assessment indicates: under the conditions of this study the test item is not considered to be an eye corrosive in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test due to no IVIS > 55 within the BCOP assay.
