Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Total amount of the test substance applied is not stated
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted due to non-REACH regulatory requirements. With the existing data from this study not only being acceptable but of good quality (Klimisch Score 1), this study precludes the need for an additional LLNA study. In addition, a supplementary LLNA study would violate the ECHA objectives with regards to animal welfare.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
In order to determine the concentration of the test substance in the main study one range finding test were performed on two animals (1 male and 1 female).
By intradermal route (tested concentrations: 1 % and 0.1 % (w/w):
24 hours before treatment, the dorsal region of the animals was clipped, intradermal injections of the dosage form preparations (0.1 mL) were performed in the interscapular region, cutaneous reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
By cutaneous route (tested concentrations: 30% and 10% (w/w):
24 hours before treatment, both flank regions of the animals were clipped, the filter paper of a chamber was fully-loaded with one 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 approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: once intradermal (day 1) and additionally once cutanenously (day 8)
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2

INTRADERMAL EXPOSURE
- Site: six injections as pairs in the interscapular area
- Treatment:
Test group: A) front row: Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) at 50% (v/v) in 0.9% NaCl; B) middle row: 0.1 mL test substance at 0.5% (w/w) in corn oil; C) test substance at 0.5% (w/w) in the mixture FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50)
Control groups: The animals were given the same injections (A, B, C) but without test substance, only with the formulating agent.

CUTANEOUS EXPOSURE
- Site: interscapular area
- Treatment: Test group: a pad of filter paper (approximately 8 cm2) was fully-loaded with the test substance at the concentration of 30% (w/w) and was then applied to the interscapular region of the animals. The pad was held in place for 48 hours by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster.
Control groups: received an application of the vehicle alone under the same experimental conditions.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Challenge:
- Day of challenge: day 22 (21 days after intradermal induction)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: interscapular
- Treatment:
Test groups: received an application of the test substance and vehicle. The filter paper of a chamber (Finn Chambero) was fully-loaded with the test substance at the concentration of 30% (w/w) and was then applied to a clipped area of the skin of the posterior right flank of all animals. The vehicle was applied under the same experimental conditions to the skin of the posterior left flank. The chambers were held in contact with the skin for 24 hours by means of an adhesive an allergenic waterproof plaster. On removal of the dressing, any residual test substance was removed by means of a moistened gauze pad.
Control groups: Control group one was treated like the treatment group; control group 2 remained untreated
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 h

Rechallenge:
- Day of challenge: day 29
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Treatment: the animals of all groups received an application of the test substance at the concentration of 30% (w/w) to the anterior left flank and the vehicle to the anterior right flank, under the same experimental conditions as for the first challenge application.

One animal of the control group 1 was found dead on day 13. Hypoactivity and dyspnea were observed prior to death. The authors stated that such spontaneous clinical signs and mortality are sometimes observed in this species.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The substance disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CAS 139-33-3) is structurally similar to the substance trans-cyclohexane-1,2-dinitrilotetraacetic acid (CAS 13291-61-7), therefore used for the read-across. Skin sensitisation properties are assumed to come from the carboxylic groups (four in both the substances).
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Total amount of the test substance applied is not stated
GLP compliance:
