IN-LIFE DATES: From: 20 November 2017 to 06 December 2017

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

- Test item: 0.1 mL
- Buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg bw (1 hour prior and 1 hour after application of the test item and at the end of the first day) was administered for pain management as well as two drops of the topical anaesthetic 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloric ophthalmic solution (five minutes prior to application of the test item)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Single treatment followed by observations at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and/or 14 days after instillation

Observation period (in vivo):

14 days

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 males in a stepwise manner: starting with one animal and followed by treatment of two additional animals two weeks later.

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: 2% fluorescein in water (pH adjusted to 7.0)

OBSERVATIONS:
- Mortality/moribundity checks: throughout the study, animals were observed for general health/mortality and moribundity twice daily, in the morning and at the end of the working day.
- Clinical observations: postdose observations were performed once daily throughout the study; the observation period was 72 hours for two animals and 7 days for one animal.
- Body weights: animals were weighed individually on day 1 (predose) and on the day of the final observation.
- Irritation: the eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and, for one animal, 7 days after instillation of the test item. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Instillation of the test item into one eye of each of three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 72 hours in two animals and within 7 days in the other animal.

No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein 24 hours after test item instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage.

Other effects:

- Coloration/remnants: No staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test item was observed and no test item remnants were seen.
- Toxicity/mortality: No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

Conclusions:

Based on the results of an in vivo eye irritation study, performed according to OECD guideline 405 and GLP principles, X-19657 is not irritant to the eyes and is not classified for eye irritation according to GHS and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
