In vivo (LLNA)

Results

Parameter:

SI

Remarks on result:

other: see remark

Remarks:

The SI value for the test article at a concentration of 10% in DMSO was 2.3. In conclusion, topical application of the test article at 25% in DMSO resulted in an SI value of < 3. Therefore, the test article was considered not to be a skin sensitizer in this study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: non sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

In conclusion, topical application of the test article at 10% in DMSO resulted in an SI value of 2.3. Therefore, the test article was considered not to be a skin sensitizer in this study.

Executive summary:

The test article was evaluated at a concentration of 10% in DMSO, with DMSO as the vehicle control and 25% HCA as the positive control.

All animals survived the in-life phase of the study and were observed to be normal. Ear thickness measurements and clinical observations indicated that treatment with the test article did not result in dermal irritation.

The SI (Stimulation Index) of the positive control, 25% HCA, was 26.7. The SI value for the test article at a concentration of 10% in DMSO was 2.3.

In conclusion, topical application of the test article at 25% in DMSO resulted in an SI value of < 3. Therefore, the test article was considered not to be a skin sensitizer in this study.
