In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
other: Human
Strain:
other: Not specified
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
The test was conducted on a group of 32 patients with presumable allergic contact dermatitis and all with a positive patch teat reaction to p-aminoazobenzene (0.25% pet). The group consisted of 20 women (mean age 39.9 years) and men (mean age 46.6 years). 11 patients had previously also shown sensitization to PPD (Para-phenyldiamine).

No. of animals per dose:
32 patients
Details on study design:
A patch contain test chemical was placed in a small squares (about 1.0 cm2) and wetted with 1 drop of tap water, water was used to imitate the circumstances (wet hands or sweating of hands). By this procedure a slight but visible yellow stain on the skin was found at the test site after 2 days of application, indicating liberation of the dyes.
Challenge controls:
30 patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p- p-aminoazobenzene and PPD were also tested with the same patch test series.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test chemical did not elicit a positive patch test reaction in any one of the 32 patients’ positive to p-aminoazobenzene nor in the 30 control subjects. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing.
Executive summary:

A patch test was performed on 32 patients with an established p-aminoazobenzene allergy.

 

The test was conducted on a group of 32 patients with presumable allergic contact dermatitis and all with a positive patch teat reaction to p-aminoazobenzene (0.25% pet). The group consisted of 20 women (mean age 39.9 years) and men (mean age 46.6 years). 11 patients had previously also shown sensitization to PPD (Para-phenyldiamine). 30 patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and PPD were also tested with the same patch test series.

 

A patch with test chemical[2% in white petrolatum] was placed in small squares (about 1.0 cm2) and wetted with 1 drop of tap water, water was used to imitate the circumstances (wet hands or sweating of hands). By this procedure a slight but visible yellow stain on the skin was found at the test site after 2 days of application, indicating liberation of the dyes.

 

The test chemical did not elicit a positive patch test reaction in any one of the 32 patients’ positive to p-aminoazobenzene nor in the 30 control subjects. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing.
