Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Intradermal and Topical Range finding study
Four v/v dilutions of the test article were prepared in propylene glycol and administered to each of five guinea pigs. The dilutions used were 5 %, 4 %, 2 %, and 1 %. Two pair of intradermal injections at a volume of 0.1 mL each were made along the spine (two injections per side) above the scapular region so that each animal received one injection of each test article concentration. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after dosing, all sites were scored for erythema and edema according to the Draize scoring method.
Four v/v mixtures of the test article were prepared in propylene glycol and administered to each of five guinea pigs. The concentrations used were: Neat, 50 %, 25 % and 10 %. A dose of 0.5 mL of each concentration of the test article was applied to a one square inch gauze patch which was then placed on the skin of the flank region, two on each side of the dorsal midline. The patches were taped in place and the trunk of the animal was wrapped with a non-reactive, occlusive wrapping. Approximately 24 hours following patch application, all wrappings were removed and the skin wiped to remove any remaining test article. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after patch removal, all sites were scored for erythema and edema according to the Draize scoring method

Any other information on results incl. tables

During the intradermal range finding phase, the 5 %, 4 %, 2 %, and 1 % applications of test article produced irritation at both the 24 and 48 hour scoring periods. Since no significant difference in the degree and extent of irritation was observed between any of the concentrations used, the test article was administered as a 5 % concentration in propylene glycol at induction I. During topical range finding phase, the Neat, 50 %, 25 % and 10 % of test article in propylene glycol produced no dermal irritation at either the 24 or 48 hour scoring periods. Based on these results, the test article was administered neat at induction II and challenge. At challenge, one of the twenty animals (5 %) in the test article induction/challenge/rechallenge group exhibited dermal response at the 24 hour scoring period and none of the animals exhibited response at the 48 hour scoring period. None of the corresponding challenge irritation control group animals exhibited dermal irritation at either the 24 hour or 48 hour scoring period. In the DNCB positive control group, 100 % of the induction/challenge animals had scores greater than the scores observed in the DNCB challenge irritation control group at both the 24 and 48 hour scoring periods. To confirm the dermal response exhibited by the single test article induction/challenge/rechallenge group animal at challenge, the Sponsor elected to proceed with a rechallenge. During the rechallenge phase, the test article was topically administered neat to the test article induction/challenge/rechallenge and rechallenge irritation control group animals. At rechallenge, one of the twenty animals (5%) in the test article induction/challenge/rechallenge group (the same animal that exhibited a response at challenge) exhibited dermal response at the 24 hour scoring period and none of the animals exhibited dermal response at the 48 hour scoring period. None of the ten corresponding rechallenge irritation control group animals exhibited dermal irritation at either the 24 or 48 hour scoring periods.
