Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The principle of the patch test is the application of the test product on the skin of the back of adults volunteers. The product is kept in contact with the skin for 48 hrs under occlusive patch. The clinical observation of the effects is carried out following the removal of the patch. This cycle was repeated for three more weeks, so that a series of eight forty-eight-hour applications were completed. On the second Monday following the removal of the last series of applications, the test material was applied to the same contact site for 48 hrs. The contact sites were examined for visible changes which, if present, were graded and recorded. Sites were re-examined twenty-four and forty-eight hours later for delayed reactions.
GLP compliance:

Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION & EXAMINATIONS:
The test material was applied under occlusion for a series of effective contact periods of two days' duration. On Monday, the test material was applied. The participants were instructed to contact the laboratory and inform the investigator immediately if any discomfort was felt at the patch site. On Wednesdays, the patches were removed, the contact sites examined, and the reactions, if any, were graded and recorded. The following scoring system was used to grade skin reactions:
0 = No reactions.
1+ = Slight erythema.
2+ = Marked erythema.
3+ = Marked erythema, edema, with or without a few vesicles.
4+ = Marked erythema, edema, with vesicles and oozing.
If no reactions occurred, the test material was re-applied immediately for another forty-eight-hour period. The participants were instructed to call the laboratory on Thursday if any discomfort was felt. On Friday, the covers were removed and the contact sites were again examined and graded. The contact sites were then rested until the following Monday. This cycle was repeated for three more weeks, so that a series of eight forty-eight-hour applications were completed. On the second Monday following the removal of the last series of applications, the test material was applied to the same contact site. The covers were removed on Wednesday, thereby effecting a challenge contact period of forty-eight hours' duration. The contact sites were examined for visible changes which, if present, were graded and recorded. Sites were re-examined twenty-four and forty-eight hours later for delayed reactions.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
Detailed gradings of the skin changes observed in each individual are attached in chart form.
1. Skin Changes Accompanying Application No. 1:
No visible skin changes signifying reaction to injury were observed in any of the 200 subjects.

2. Skin Changes Accompanying Application Nos. 2 through 8:
No visible skin changes signifying reaction to injury were observed in any of the 200 subjects.

3. Skin Changes Accompanying Challenge Application:
No visible skin changes signifying reaction to injury were observed in any of the 200 subjects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item was not considered to be a primary irritant, fatiguing agent, or sensitizer under the tested conditions.
Executive summary:

The sensitising potential of the test item with respect to humans was evaluated in a repeated insult patch test. The test material was applied under occlusion twice a week for 4 weeks for a series of effective contact periods of two days' duration. On the second Monday following the removal of the last series of applications, the test material was applied to the same contact site as a challenge. The contact sites were examined for visible changes which, if present, were graded and recorded. Sites were re-examined twenty-four and fortyeight hours later for delayed reactions. No visible skin changes signifying reaction to injury were observed in any of the 200 subjects at any of the readings. Hence, based on the findings of the study, the test item was not considered to be a primary irritant, fatiguing agent, or sensitizer under the tested conditions.
