- Other: Na2PdCl4 was ground with a porcelainmortar and pestle. Then 2, 3 and 4 g were added to 98, 97 and 96 g of pet., respectively. Na2PdCl4 with the pet. was then suspended in a glass laboratory bottle by heating (55 deg C) in a ultrasonic cleaning unit with intermittent stirring for 4 hr until a homogeneous suspension was obtained. Sterile syringes were then filled with 2%, 3% and 4% Na2PdCl4 pet. and labelled. One batch for each test concentration was used to prepare the syringes for all test centres.

Method
- Type of population:
- general
- Ethical approval:
- other: Not required
- Subjects:
- - Number of subjects exposed: 1651 (for 3% Na2PdCl4); 1634 (for 2 and 4% Na2PdCl4)
- Sex: Male and female (exact numbers not specified for the entire set of subjects; for the subset of 906 patients, 269 were male and 637 were female)
- Age: For the subset of 906 patients, the mean age was 48.3 years
- Race: No data
- Demographic information: Patients were tested in eight European clinics: Amsterdam (n=66), Barcelona (n=118), Bari (n=90), Basle (n=175), Coimbra (n=190), Leuven (n=267), Malmo (n=353) and Odense (n=392)

- Details on study design:
- Patch tests were conducted with 2, 3 and 4% disodium tetrachloropalladate in petrolatum. Patch testing was performed according to the recommendations of the ICDRG. Some test centres preferred to perform readings on D4 instead of D3, which was accepted for the purpose of this study. Except for Basel, Coimbra, and Leuven, all centres performed standard additional readings after 1 week (D7).
Patch tests were regarded as positive if a positive reaction (+, ++, or +++) to the metal salts was observed in at least one reading. If a positive reaction was observed at more than one reading, the strongest reaction defined the actual test result. For statistical analyses, all positive reactions (+, ++, or +++) were clustered as positive. Doubtful reactions (±) and irritant reactions (IRs) were also recorded, but regarded as negative test results.
General exclusion criteria were age under 18 years, pregnancy, systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive treatment during the previous 30 days, and topical treatment with corticosteroids or exposure to ultraviolet radiation during the previous 15 days on or around the patch test area.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Skin patch tests with disodium tetrachloropalladate (3% in petrolatum) produced a positive reaction in 300 of 1651 (18.2%) patients attending various European dermatology clinics. Analogous tests with 2 and 4% concentrations produced a positive reaction in approximately 15 and 18.7% of the subset of 1634 patients, respectively.
- Executive summary:
In an attempt to determine the prevalence of hypersensitivity to various platinum group elements (PGEs), 1651 patients (with and without active eczema) attending eight European dermatology clinics were patch tested with disodium tetrachloropalladate (3% in petrolatum). Patch test readings were scored according to international guidelines on days 3 or 4 and on day 7 after skin testing in the majority of clinics. Positive reactions to disodium tetrachloropalladate were observed in 300 (18.2%) of the 1651 patients. Analogous tests with 2 and 4% concentrations produced a positive reaction in approximately 15 and 18.7% of the subset of 1634 patients, respectively.
