APPLICATION OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROL SUBSTANCE - PRELIMINARY STUDIES
- Application route: Intradermal induction and occlusive adhesion
- Reason for selecting application route: Consideration was given to the usage method of the test article as a product, and the application method for the Maximum Test was followed.
- Reason for setting application dosages: Giving consideration to the concentration of the test material during use as well as the amount that can be physically applied, preliminary studies were conducted. Based on the results of the preliminary studies, a concentration that does not cause necrosis during intradermal induction, the lowest concentration for epidermal induction, and the highest concentration for which irritation is not observed for challenge exposure were set as the dosages to be applied.
PREPARATION OF VEHICLE AND SUBSTANCE TO BE ADMINISTERED – PRELIMINARY STUDIES
- Method for preparing substances to be administered: All were prepared immediately before administration.
For intradermal induction, 4 concentrations were prepared using physiological saline solution as the vehicle. A 20 % (w/w) solution was prepared first, which was further diluted and prepared as 10 %, 5 %, and 1 % (v/v) solutions.
For epidermal induction, 4 concentrations were prepared using distilled water for injection as the vehicle. A 25 % (w/w) solution was prepared first, which was further diluted and prepared as 10 %, 5 %, and 1 % (v/v) solutions.
The test article was prepared in the same manner for challenge exposure. A10 % (w/w) solution was prepared first, which was further diluted and prepared as 5 %, 1 %, and 0.5 % (v/v) solutions for a total of 4 concentrations.
- White petrolatum containing 10.0 % SLS: SLS was mixed into white petrolatum at a concentration of 10.0 % (W/W) and an ointment was prepared.
- FCA emulsion: FCA and physiological saline solution were mixed in equal volumes, and an emulsion fluid was prepared.
PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR INTRADERMAL INDUCTION
Before intradermal induction, a preliminary study was conducted based on the procedure below using 2 untreated animals. From the results of this test, the concentration of the test material to use for intradermal induction was determined.
- The fur on the back side of the neck of the guinea pigs was shaved over an area of 6 cm x 6 cm using clippers and an electric shaver.
- 0.1 mL of the test article was intra-dermally induced into a 4 cm x 4 cm patch inside the shaved area. The condition of the administration site was observed immediately after induction and 4 hours after induction, and was graded according to the grading standards below.
Assessment as to whether there was necrosis was also conducted.
0: No visible change
1: Discrete or patchy erythema
2: Moderate and confluent erythema
3: Intense erythema and swelling
PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR EPIDERMAL INDUCTION
Before epidermal induction, a preliminary study was conducted 2 untreated animals using the procedure below. Based on the results of this test, the concentration of the test material to use for epidermal induction was determined.
- The fur on both sides of the abdomen of the animals was shaved over an area of 5 cm x 10 cm using clippers and an electric shaver.
- Pieces of cotton lint (2 cm x 2 cm) that were immersed in 0.2 mL or 0.2 g of the test article were applied in order from 1 to 4 onto the shaved area and fixed in place using tape. Occlusive adhesion was carried out for 48 hours.
- After occlusive adhesion of 48 hours, the cotton lint was removed, and skin irritation of the application site was graded based on the following grading standards immediately after removal and 24 hours after removal.
0: No visible change
1: Discrete or patchy erythema
2: Moderate and confluent erythema
3: Intense erythema and swelling
PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Before challenge exposure, a preliminary study was conducted based on the procedure below using 4 animals for which intradermal induction and epidermal induction had been carried out in the same manner as those in the control group. Based on the results of this test, the concentrations of the test material to use for challenge exposure were determined.
- The fur on both sides of the abdomen of the animals was shaved over an area of 5 cm x 10 cm using clippers and an electric shaver.
- The next day, pieces of cotton lint (2 cm x 2 cm) that were immersed in 0.2 mL of the test article were applied in order from 1 to 4 onto the shaved area and fixed in place using tape. Occlusive adhesion was carried out for 24 hours.
- After occlusive adhesion of 24 hours, the cotton lint was removed, and skin irritation of the application site was graded based on the following grading standards immediately after removal and 24 hours after removal.
0: No visible change
1: Discrete or patchy erythema

- Executive summary:
The potential for the test material to cause skin sensitization was assessed in a Guinea pig maximisation test. The study was conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete reporting or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results. Ten Guinea pigs were exposed to the test material and 5 guinea pigs were used in the control group. During the ionduction exposure, 0.1 mL of the FCA emulsion fluid, 0.1 mL of the test article solution, and 0,1 mL of the test material/FCA emulsion fluid (or vehicle/FCA emulsion fluid) were intradermally induced in each pair over an area of 2 cm x 4 cm inside the shaved site. On the other hand, in the epidermal induction on Day 8, pieces of cotton lint (2 cm x 4 cm) that were coated with 0.5 mL of the test material (or vehicle) of the specified concentration were applied onto the same site, and fixed in place using tape. Occlusive adhesion was carried out for 48 hours.
Skin reaction was not observed in the test material sensitization group for 1.0 % challenge exposure and 0.5 % challenge exposure sites. Skin reaction was also not observed in the control group as well as the area where distilled water for injection was applied.
Under the conditions of this study, it was concluded that the test material has no sensitisation potential.
Reference
Observations
- Clinical observations: During the study period, there were no abnormalities in clinical signs observed.
- Body weight: A decrease in body weight was observed in 9/10 animals in the study group and 4/5 animals in the control group on Day 24, and in 3/10 animals in the study group and 1/5 animals in the control group on Day 25. The cause is not clear, but since a similar phenomenon was observed in the control group as well, it was determined that this decrease in body weight did not result from the test material.
- Challenge exposure: Skin reaction was not observed in the test material sensitization group for 1.0 % challenge exposure and 0.5 % challenge exposure sites. Skin reaction was also not observed in the control group as well as the area where distilled water for injection was applied.
Preliminary Test Resuts
Extreme necrosis was observed for all concentrations. As a result, the concentration of the solution used for intradermal induction was lowered to 0.1 %.
Skin irritation was observed for all concentrations. With the 25 % concentration, moderate skin irritation was observed, and with concentrations of 10 % and lower, slight skin irritation was observed.
As a result, the concentration for epidermal induction was set to 10 %, which is the highest concentration with which skin irritation was observed.
Immediately after removal of the application, slight to moderate erythema was observed with the 10 % and 5 % solutions, and slight erythema was observed with the 1 % and 0.5 % solutions. 24 hours after removal of the application, there were no skin reactions with regard to all of the concentrations.
The concentrations of the solutions for challenge exposure were set to 1 % and 0.5 %, for which only slight skin irritation was observed immediately after removal of the application.

- Additional information:
In the key study, the potential for the test material to cause skin sensitization was assessed in a Guinea pig maximisation test. The study was conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete reporting or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results. Accordingly the study was assigned a reliability score of 2 in line with the principles for assessing data quality defined in Klimisch (1997).
Ten Guinea pigs were exposed to the test material and 5 guinea pigs were used in the control group. During the ionduction exposure, 0.1 mL of the FCA emulsion fluid, 0.1 mL of the test article solution, and 0,1 mL of the test material/FCA emulsion fluid (or vehicle/FCA emulsion fluid) were intradermally induced in each pair over an area of 2 cm x 4 cm inside the shaved site. On the other hand, in the epidermal induction on Day 8, pieces of cotton lint (2 cm x 4 cm) that were coated with 0.5 mL of the test material (or vehicle) of the specified concentration were applied onto the same site, and fixed in place using tape. Occlusive adhesion was carried out for 48 hours.
Skin reaction was not observed in the test material sensitization group for 1.0 % challenge exposure and 0.5 % challenge exposure sites. Skin reaction was also not observed in the control group as well as the area where distilled water for injection was applied.
Under the conditions of this study, it was concluded that the test material has no sensitisation potential.
