Details on study design:
LOCATION: The study was carried out at the clinical unit of Skopje in MACEDONIA.

DESIGN: The study was blinded and randomized.

TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: Patch test (epicutaneous test)

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: Semiocclusive
- Description of patch: Trumed® Inc (size: 1.9 cm x 1.9 cm i.e. 3.61 cm2)
- Frequency: Induction phase: 3 times a week during 48 hours or 72 hours; Challenge phase: once during 48 hours
- Duration: Induction phase: 3 weeks; Duration Resting phase: 14 days; Challenge phase: 1 week
- Concentrations: Undiluted (8% (3646 µg/cm2) EtOH/DEP(25/75))
- Volume applied: 160 µL
- Removal of test substance: After removal of the patches, the sites were wiped with a cotton pad soaked with warm distilled water.

CONDITIONS OF USE:
INDUCTION PHASE:
- During the Induction Phase, the investigational product was applied on a predetermined site under semi occlusive patch (the semi occlusive patches were applied, on a right split back, in a zone limited by the spine of the scapula in top, the last coast in bottom, the dorsal rachis in inside and a vertical fIctitious line passing by the lower end of the scapula outwards). A semi-occlusive patch receiving no product was applied in the same conditions and was considered as a non-treated control. 160 µL of the investigational product was applied undiluted. Each time, the patches (treated and non-treated) remained applied during 48 or 72 hours before removal and replaced on the same site.
- The investigator performed:
A clinical examination before each application of the investigational products; the application of the patches (treated and non-treated) on Days 1, 3, 5/6*, 8, 10, 12/13*, 15, 17, 19/20* and 22**.
At each visit, the patches were replaced by one with the same investigational product and applied on the same site (except in case of occurrence of a reaction making the application of new patches impossible).
* Subjects no. 104, 105, 106, 107 and 108 began the study 2 days later, so they did not have any visit at Day 5, Day 12 and Day 19, but at Day 6, Day 13 and Day 20.
** Additional application day for subjects no. 3, 13, 67, 69, 89, 95, 97 and 103, as they did not have any application nor reading performed one day during the induction phase.

RESTING PHASE:
- During the 14-day Resting Phase, no product was applied on the sites used during the Induction phase or on the contralateral split-back which was used during the Challenge phase.

CHALLENGE PHASE:
- For the challenge phase, a symmetrical zone of controlateral split back (left) is used as the zone tested for the induction phase.
- During the challenge phase (Day 34/36*), the investigational product was applied under semi occlusive patch on the induction sites and on the contralateral sites. A semi occlusive patch receiving no product was applied in the same conditions and was considered as a non-treated control. The patches (treated and non-treated) remained applied during 48 hours and removed afterwards.
- A series of reading were practiced immediately (Day 36/38*), 24 hours (Day 37/39*), and 48 hours (Day 38/40*) after the patches removal.
* Subjects no. 104, 105, 106, 107 and 108 began the study 2 days later, therefore their challenge phase was performed on Day 34, Day 36, Day 37 and Day 38 instead of Day 36, Day 38, Day 39 and Day 40.

EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system:
The clinical examination was carried out on the back on the treated zones according to the following scale:
Erythema (E)
0: no reaction
1: very slight reaction: pale pink erythema, homogeneous, not well delimited
2: slight reaction: clear pink erythema, homogeneous, well delimited, without oedema
3: moderate reaction: clear red erythema, homogeneous, well delimited, with or without slight oedema
4: severe reaction: dark red erythema, homogeneous, well delimited with or without an obvious oedema

Vesicles (V)
0: no reaction
1: obvious vesicles

Pruritus (P)
0: no reaction
1: obvious itching

Desquamation (visual and tactile evaluation) (D)
0: no reaction
1: fine desquamation
2: moderate desquamation
3: severe with large squamas

OTHERS:
Constraints of the study:
- During the Induction Phase, the patches application areas had not to be wet.
- During the repeated readings of the challenge phase, no wash, except for the daily personal hygiene habits, or any application of any kind of product was allowed.
- During the whole test, sun or UV voluntary exposure was not allowed.
Results of examinations:
SYMPTOMS
- During the induction phase, no sign was observed on the control site and the investigational product site.
- During the challenge phase, no sign was observed on the control site and on the investigational product site, neither on the homolateral side nor on the controlateral site.
- In this study, no adverse event or serious adverse event was observed by the investigating dermatologists.

NO. OF PERSONS WITH/OUT REACTIONS COMPARED TO STUDY POPULATION
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0
- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 102
- Number of subjects with irritating reactions: 0

DETERMINATION OF THE SENSITIZING POTENTIAL:
No significant clinical manifestation of intolerance or allergy was observed by the investigator.

DETERMINATION OF THE IRRITATION INDEX Z:
The investigational product presents an irritation index of: Z = 0.000; the investigational product is therefore considered as practically non-irritant.
Note: Z is calculated on the parameters erythema (including oedema) and desquamation; Z is calculated on the data of the induction phase.
