Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Conclusions:
- The favourable allergic potential of patent blue V suggests the test material to be sensitizing to the skin of patients.
- Executive summary:
The adverse reactions of patent blue V in 7,917 patients who participated in the NEW START training programme and the ALMANAC trial was studied. All patients underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast carcinoma using patent blue V.
In the ALMANAC study, the test compound was injected around the tumour. In the NEW START training programme, the test compound was injectedsubdermally at the areola skin margin of the index quadrant.
In total, 72 of 7,917 (0.9%) patients experienced adverse reactions : non-allergic reactions were observed in 4 (0.05%) patients, 23 (0.3%) patients had minor grade I allergic skin reactions (urticaria, blue hives, pruritis, or generalised rash) and 16 (0.2%) had grade II reactions (transient hypotension/ bronchospasm/ laryngospasm). Severe Grade III reactions (severe hypotension requiring vasopressor support and/or change/abandoning of planned procedure and/or HDU/ITU admission) were noted in 5 (0.06%) patients. The type of adverse reaction was not specified in 24 (0.3%) patients. No mortality was recorded.
The favourable allergic potential of patent blue V suggests the test material to be sensitizing to the skin of patients.
According to the publication, the test material is positive to induce skin sensitization.
