201-174-2
EC Name:
2-chloroacetamide
Cas Number:
79-07-2
Molecular formula:
C2H4ClNO
IUPAC Name:
2-chloroacetamide
Details on test material:
Technical substance , Hoechst, purity acc. to specification

Method

Type of population:
other: patients
Subjects:
296 persons, 162 women, 134 men
Clinical history:
presumed contact allergy
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
0.2 % aqueous solution of chloroacetamide, 0.1 mL per patient on a test swab,
positioned on the healthy back skin of the volunteers & covered by a test-plaster (manufacturer: Beiersdorf, Hamburg, Germany).
Examination of the test areas: 24 h, 2 & 3 days after application.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
4 of 162 women, 3 of 134 men reacted positive.
All 7 patients had a history of eczema.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The author concluded that positive skin reactions in 7/296 patients were due to previously obtained contact allergies against
chloroacetamide.
Executive summary:

In a clinical study, 296 patients with presumed contact allergy were treated with 0.1 mL of a 0.2 % aqueous chloroacetamide solution on the back skin under occlusion for 24h. Examination of the test areas at 24 h, 2 & 3 days after application showed positive skin reactions in 7 patients due to previous contact wiht Chloroacetamide. This complies with a frequency of 0.3 -2.8% individuals with acquired contact allergies to Chloroacetamide in the patients groups treated at dermatology departments (BG Chemie, Germany, Toxicological Evaluations no. 8 chloroacetamide (2000-06).
