Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: other immunological tests: Marzulli and Maibach Method

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: For induction, occlusive exposure for 48 hours, three times a week for three weeks on the back was performed. After a two week recovery period, a challenge exposure was performed under an occlusive dressing for 48 h either on the same site as the induction or another site that had never had contact with the test substance. The test sites were re-evaluated at 72 and 96 hours.
- Description of patch: occlusive strip with Flexcon (TruMed Technologies Inc., Burnsville, Minnesota)
- Vehicle / solvent: no
- Concentrations: undiluted test substance


EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system: see Table 1

- Other: After each induction exposure, cutaneous reactions were evaluated directly as well as 24 and 48 h after patch removal.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
SYMPTOMS
- Frequency, level, duration of symptoms observed: No significant reaction attributable to sensitisation was observed in the 51 volunteers finishing the study.


NO. OF PERSONS WITH/OUT REACTIONS COMPARED TO STUDY POPULATION
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 51 (not all subjects finished study up to challenge)
- Number of subjects with irritating reactions: 1/53 (not all subjects continued study up to induction)

* The number of subjects changed during the study because of subjects that didn't continue the study or subjects that were not present at single observation days.

**One subject showed minimal or doubtful response, slightly different from surrounding normal skin

*** None of the subjects showed any sensitisation to the test material and only one showed slight irritation (+) at Day 9 of induction. The test material when applied to the human skin is not irritating and not sensitising.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a study with human volunteers the test substance did not show a skin sensitisation potential.
