In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
human
Sex:
male/female

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
epicutaneous, open
Vehicle:
petrolatum
Concentration / amount:
5%
Challenge
Concentration / amount:
5%
No. of animals per dose:
Ten patients
Details on study design:
Patch tests were performed on the back according to the criteria of the ICDRG (Fregert & Bandmann 1975) and were read after 48 h. In patients 4 and 8 (Table 2), positive reactions to clioquinol were found after 96 and 72 h, respectively, in the tests performed previously. Altogether in each patient 15 patch tests were applied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Clioquinol was found to be sensitising to human skin by patch test test.
Executive summary:

Clioquinol was found to be sensitising to human skin bypatch test test..Ten patients with positive patch test reactions to clioquinol were retested in 1979 after an average interval of 6 years. On subsequent testing we also examined test reactions to other quinoline derivatives (including antimalarial drugs) and potassium iodide. All patients showed a positive reaction to clioquinol at retesting.
