Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Intradermal and topical range finding studies conducted. Guinea pigs received a total of six 0.1 ml intradermal injections in a 2 x 4 cm area on the dorsal surface. Three pairs of injections were made along the spine of each guinea pig. Each animal received one injection of 1, 3 or 5% w/v concentrations of the test material in PEG 400 and in a 1:1 FCA and sterile saline solution. For the topical range finding test, 2.5, 5, 10, 25 or 50% w/v mixtures in PEG 400, as well as the neat material, were used and administered at 0.2 ml/site under occulded chambers for 24 h. There were 3 sites/guinea pig and 4 sites/concentration. After a 24-h exposure period, the bandages were removed and the sites washed with disposable paper towels moistened with tepid tap water. The guinea pigs were observed twice daily for mortality and the application sites were evaluated at approx. 24 and 48 h after intradermal injection or patch removal and graded accordingly (see "any other information" section below). The hair was removed from the backs of the guinea pigs prior to evaluation

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 9 days
- Test groups: Test material in PEG 400 or a 1:1 mixture of FCA and sterile saline for the injection phase, neat test material for the topical phase
- Control group: PEG 400, 1:1 mixture of FCA and sterile saline, 50% w/v concentration of PEG 400 in 1:1 mixture of FCA and sterile saline
- Site: dorsal surface
- Frequency of applications: one intradermal injection exposure on day 0 and one topical exposure on day 7
- Duration: 9 days
- Concentrations: intradermal injection of 5% test material, topical application of neat test material

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 21 & 29
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: test material in PEG 400 and PEG 400
- Control group: test material in PEG 400 and PEG 400
- Site: test material in PEG 400 - left flank; PEG 400 vehicle only - right flank
- Concentrations: 0.5 or 2.5%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 & 48 hours

OTHER: Sites were washed with disposable paper towels moistened with tepid water after each challenge exposure period
Challenge controls:
Control group subjected to the same induction procedure as test group but without test material; control and test groups both challenged with test material in the same way
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (see "Any other information" section below)

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Statistics:
Not required

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
At challenge, the positive control material induced 3 very slight (grade +/-), 4 slight (grade 1) and 3 moderate (grade 2) reactions at the 24 h evaluation. By 48 h, 3 very slight, 5 slight and 2 moderate responses were observed. Focal eschar was noted for one site at both 24 and 48 h. The Sensitization Incidence Index was calculated to be 70% for the positive control and the Irritation Severity Indices were 1.2 and 1.1 at 24 and 48 h respectively. The positive control material was, therefore, shown to be a sensitizer under the conditions of the study, thereby demonstrating the reliability of the test system.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Since the reactions in the test group were no more intense than the response to the test material in the negative control group, the test material is not considered to be a skin sensitiser in this study. The sensitivity of the test system was demonstrated by a clear positive response to the positive control.
