- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Choice of the vehicle:
The test item was not soluble in 0.9% NaCl, purified water, ethanol/water (80/20, p/p) and acetone: two phases were observed.
The vehicle chosen for intradermal injections was corn oil: a homogeneous dosage form preparation was obtained at the maximum concentration of 25% (w/w). The dosage form preparation at the concentration of 25% (w/w) passed freely through a needle and into the dermis.
For topical applications, the vehicle used was olive oil for both induction phase and challenge application: a homogeneous dosage form preparation was obtained at the maximum concentration of 25% (w/w). A heterogeneous suspension was obtained at 50%.
Preliminary study:
A preliminary test was conducted in order to determine the concentrations to be tested in the main study.
By intradermal route (tested concentrations: 5%, 10% and 25% (w/w)):
Intradermal injections of the dosage form preparations (0.1 mL) were performed in the interscapular region, local reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
In order to respect the criteria for the selection of concentrations (the concentration should be well-tolerated systemically and locally, intradermal injections should cause moderate irritant effect but no necrosis or ulceration of the skin), the concentration chosen for the main study was
25% (w/w).
By cutaneous route:
Under the conditions of the induction phase (tested concentrations: 10% and 25% (w/w)): a filter paper (approximately 8 cm2) was fully-loaded with a dosage form preparation and was then applied to the clipped area of the skin. The filter paper was held in place by means of an occlusive dressing for 48 hours, cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
Under the conditions of the challenge phase (tested concentrations: 10% and 25% (w/w)): the filter paper of a chamber (Finn Chamber®) was fully-loaded with a dosage form preparation. The chamber was then applied to the clipped area of the skin (one concentration per flank). The chamber was held in place by means of an occlusive dressing for 24 hours, cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
In order to respect the criteria for the selection of concentrations (the concentrations should be well-tolerated systemically and locally, cutaneous application for the induction should cause at most weak or moderate skin reactions or be the maximal practicable concentration, cutaneous application for the challenge phase should be the highest concentration which does not cause irritant effect), the concentration chosen for the topical applicationof the induction phase (day 8) and for the challenge application (day 22) was 25% (w/w).

The vehicle was applied under the same experimental conditions to the skin of the posterior left flank.
- Site: right flank (test substance), left flank (control).
- Concentrations: 25% (w/w) in vehicle (olive oil) (right flank), vehicle alone (left flank)
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 hours after patch removal - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- mercaptobenzothiazole (CAS No 149-30-4)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Mercaptobenzothiazole was not included in the study but is regularly tested by the laboratory under the same conditions.
Based on the findings, the sensitivity of the guinea-pigs strain from the same source is considered satisfactory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The reaction mass of Cerium dioxide and Lanthanum oxide and Lanthanum fluoride is not classified as skin sensitizer according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
- Executive summary:
The reaction mass of Cerium dioxide and Lanthanum oxide and Lanthanum fluoride has been tested for skin sensitization on guinea pigs according to OECD guideline n° 406 and EC method B.6 and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice.
Fifteen Hartley Crl: (HA) BR adult female guinea-pigs, (10 females for treated group and 5 females for control group) were used for the main test.
An induction treatment was carried out as follow:
Day 1, 3 pairs of intradermal injections were performed in the interscapular region of all animals:
- Freund’s Complete Adjuvent (FCA) diluted to 50 % (v/v) with 0.9% NaCl (both groups),
- Test substance at the concentration of 25% (w/w) in corn oil (treated group) or vehicle alone (control group),
- Test substance at the concentration of 25% (w/w) in corn oil in a mixture of FCA/0.9 % NaCl (50/50, w/w) (treated group) or vehicle at the concentration of 50 % (w/v) in a mixture of FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50, v/v) (control group).
Day 7, the same skin site of both groups was pre-treated with sodium lauryl sulphate before to receive one day later a 48 hours occlusive topical application of the test article at the concentration of 25 % (w/w) in olive oil for treated group or olive oil alone for the control group.
The animals of both groups were challenged on day 22 with a 24 hours cutaneous occlusive application of the test article at the concentration of 25 % (w/w) in olive oil to the right flank and olive oil alone to the left flank.
The cutaneous reactions were graded for erythema and oedema 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
No deaths and no systemic clinical signs were noted during the study. The body weight change of the treated animals was similar to that of the controls. No cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application (score = 0) in both treated and control groups, both flanks at 24 and 48 hour after dressing removal.
From the results obtained, the reaction mass of Cerium dioxide and Lanthanum oxide and Lanthanum fluoride is not classified as skin sensitizer according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
This skin sensitisation study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for a skin sensitisation study (EC Method B.6) in the guinea pigs.
