Constituent 1
Method
- Type of population:
- general
- Ethical approval:
- confirmed and informed consent free of coercion received
- Subjects:
- Participants ranged in age from 18-85 years old. Participants by sex: 37 males, 360 females.
- Clinical history:
- Individuals free of any systemic or dermatologic disorder which, in the opinion of the investigative personnel, would have interfered with the results.
- Controls:
- Non treated sections of skin used as control
- Route of administration:
- dermal
- Details on study design:
- Occlusive or semiocclusive patches applied to the infrascapular area of the back, either to the right or left of the midline. Subjects removed patches at 24 hrs, and new patches were applied at 48 hrs. Induction phase consisted of 9 consecutive applications of 0.2 ml test material. After a two-week rest phase, the challenge phase was initiated. Subjects removed patches 24 hrs after application and sites were graded at 48 and 72 hrs after application.
Dermal application with occlusive patch (nonporous plastic film adhesive bandage) or semiocclusive patch (2 cm x 2 cm Webril pad affixed with Scanpor tape).
Grading scale: No reaction; doubtful response, barely perceptible erythema, only slightly different from surrounding skin; definite erythema, no edema; definite erythema, minimal or doubtful edema; definite erythema, definite edema; definite erythema, definite edema and vesiculation.
Reaction was scored at 48 and 72 hours, and the strongest reaction is used in calculating the irritancy score.
Results and discussion
- Results of examinations:
- No evidence of sensitization with TTEG.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- TTEG was not a human skin sensitizer.
- Executive summary:
The dermal sensitization potential of tetraethylene glycol was examined in humans. The substance was applied (0.2 ml) semiocclusively or occlusively to the skin of 397 individuals every 48 hours for 9 applications. Subjects removed patches after 24 hours.After a two-week rest phase, the challenge phase was initiated. Subjects removed patches 24 hrs after application and sites were graded at 48 and 72 hrs after application.
TetraEG was not a human skin sensitizer.
