Method

Type of population:
other: other: patients with a presumable allergic contact dermatitis
Ethical approval:
not specified
Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed: 32
- Sex: 20 women, 12 men
- Mean Age: 39.9 years (women); 46.6 years (men)

- Other:
- all with a positive patch test reaction to p-aminoazobenzene (0.25% pet)
- 11 patients had previously also shown sensitization to para-phenylenediamine (PPD)
- 10 patiens were negative to all the test allergens of the European standard series
- 12 of the 32 cases showed (allergic) hand dermatitis
Controls:
- 30 patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and to PPD

Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION
- Vehicle / solvent: yellow petrolatum
- Concentrations: 2%

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
- the test item did not elicit a positive patch test reaction in any of the 32 patients nor in the 30 controls

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item (2% P.Y. 12 in yellow petrolatum) did not elicit a positive patch test reactions in any of the 32 patients (with allergic contact dermatitis and a positive patch test reaction to p-aminoazobenzene) or control subjects (patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and para-phylenediamine).
Executive summary:

Patch tests were performed with 32 patients with allergic contact dermatitis and a positive patch test reaction to p-aminoazobenzene. Thirty patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and para-phylenediamine served as control group. The test item (2% P.Y. 12 in yellow petrolatum) did not elicit a positive patch test reactions in any of the patients or control subjects.
