Type of population:
general
Ethical approval:
confirmed and informed consent free of coercion received
Remarks:
consent in conformity with: 21 CFR Part 50: "Protection of Human Subject" was secured from each subject
Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed:
- Sex: 29 male, 84 female
- Age: 18 - 65 years
Clinical history:
- History of allergy or casuistics for study subject or populations: no subject had a history of any dermatological or other medical or physical condition which would preclude from topical testing
- Exposure history: a period of at least six weeks ahd elapsed since a subject was patched RIPT of Photoallergy Test before he was used in this RIPT
Controls:
Not reported
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: webril/adhesive patch (Kendall Healthcare Products Company Patch #4022)
- Concentrations: 100%
- Volume applied: 0.2 mL was applied to each patch
- Test site: left scapular area for induction, right scapular area for challenge
- Testing/scoring schedule: nine induction patches (24 h each) within three weeks, followed by a apprx. two week rest period. The challenge consist of a 24 h patch scored 24, 48, 72 ahnd 96 h after after patching.

EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system: modified scoring scale of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group System: Fisher, Alexander a., Contact Dermatitis, Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia, 1986: p26:

0 - no visible reaction
± - faint, minimal erythema
1 - erythema
2 - intense erythema, induration
3 - intense erythema, induration, vesicles
4 - severe reaction with erythema, induration, (may be weeping) pustules
E - indicates edema
DR - dryness

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
NO. OF PERSONS WITH/OUT REACTIONS COMPARED TO STUDY POPULATION
A total of 98 of initial 113 subjects, 27 male and 71 female completed the study. 15 subjects discontinued the study, none of them due to test material reaction:
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0/98
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 98/98
- Number of subjects with equivocal reactions: 0/98
- Number of subjects with irritating reactions: 0/98

During the induction phase, no reactions were exhibited.
The original tests sites exhibited no reactions during the rest period or challenge phase.
At the challenge, one subject exhibited a low-level (±) reaction.
