Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
intradermal and epicutaneous
Vehicle:
water
Concentration / amount:
Induction intradermal injection - 5% w/w in water (maximum practical concentration that could be prepared and dosed intradermally)
Induction topical application - 50% w/w in distilled water
Topical challenge - 50 and 25% w/w in distilled water

From preliminary investigations: 50% w/w in distilled water was the maximum practical concentration and did not give rise to irritating effects.
Challengeopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, semiocclusive
Vehicle:
water
Concentration / amount:
Induction intradermal injection - 5% w/w in water (maximum practical concentration that could be prepared and dosed intradermally)
Induction topical application - 50% w/w in distilled water
Topical challenge - 50 and 25% w/w in distilled water

From preliminary investigations: 50% w/w in distilled water was the maximum practical concentration and did not give rise to irritating effects.
No. of animals per dose:
20 females
Details on study design:
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- intradermal (test animals): three pairs of injections (0.1 mL each) on day 0
1st: FCA 50 : 50 with water for irrigation (Ph. Eur.)
2nd: test item, 5% w/w in water for irrigation.
3rd: test item, 5% w/w in a 50 : 50 mixture of water for irrigation and FCA
- control animals received the same treatment, except test item
- topical: following clipping, 0.2 mL per site of 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulfate was spread over the intradermal injection sites on day 6. On day 7, test item or deionized water was applied to the test item or control groups respectively.
- Exposure period, topical: 48 hours

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: once
- Day of challenge: two weeks after the topical induction application
- Exposure period: approximately 24 hours
- Test groups: one test group
- Concentrations: 50% w/w in distilled water and applied to an anterior site on the flank, 25% w/w in distilled water applied in a similar
manner to a posterior site.
- Control group: treated as test item group
- Evaluation: approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours following patch removal
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
periodical reliability check (formalin)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control caused the expected skin reactions, thus, demonstrating the sensitivity of the test system.
