Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
In 10 people the patches were applied to the back or inner side of the upper arm and covered in an airtight manner with bandage material. The patches were applied 48 hours apart for a total of 5 applications (6 including the first patch test). Each patch was removed after 24 hours and the site scored. Following a 10 day rest, a final patch was applied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test article did not induce contact dermal sensitization in human subjects.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the epicutaneous irritation potential of the test article in humans. In 10 people used in a primary irritation study (Hopf, 1974), additional patches were applied. The patches were applied to the back or inner side of the upper arm (the same location as the primary irritation study) and covered in an airtight manner with bandage material. The patches were applied 48 hours apart for a total of 5 applications (6 including the first patch test). Each patch was removed after 24 hours and the site scored. Following a 10 day rest, a final patch was applied. Under the conditions of this study, the test article did not induce contact dermal sensitization in human subjects. There was no skin reactivity noted during the study.
