Version / remarks:
1. During the third induction phase of this study, the test animals were inadvertently exposed to the test material 1-dodecene, trimer, hydrogenated (C1527-04-4) intended for Hilltop Biolabs Project No. 94-8435-21 instead of 1-dodecene, dimer (C1527-04-2). Due to this deviation in the test material administered, this study was compromised and was rerun at no cost to the Sponsor.
As a result of this deviation, there was a separate set of naive controls for both HTB Project No. 94-8434-21 and 94-8435-21, whereas the Protocol states that these two studies will have naive control animals in common.
2. The Protocol states under the Housing and Animal Care section that "Animals will be individually housed in wire mesh suspension cages." However, upon returning the test animals to their cages following the first induction phase of the repeat study, a female (T-14 TN127) was inadvertently placed in the same cage as a male (T-1O TN127).
In addition, the Protocol states under the Test Animals section that "Females will be nulliparous and non-pregnant." This deviation no longer ensures that this is true. Therefore, the female test animal was euthanized per the Sponsor's request. The study was completed using ten male and nine female animals in the test group

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The irritation potential of the test material at levels of undiluted, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, and 0.5% were evaluated, such that each animal in a given pilot group was exposed to the same levels. Dilutions of the test material were prepared w/v in Spectrum Mineral Oil Light, U.S.P. The position of the different concentrations of the test material on the animals were varied to adjust for possible site-to-site variation in response.

The day prior to test material exposure, the hair was removed from each of the animal's backs using a small animal clipper. Closed patches were applied to the animals in the following manner: A 0.3 ml amount of each test preparation was applied into a 25 mm Hill Top Chamber®. The animal was placed into the restrainer and the chamber(s) were applied to the clipped surface as quickly as possible. The chamber(s) were occluded with rubber dental dam pulled taut and fastened to the bottom of the restrainer with clips. The restrainer was adjusted to minimize movement of the animal during exposure. Approximately six hours later, the dental dam and chamber(s) were removed, the animal was taken from the restrainer, and was placed in its cage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean severity scores for the test group and naïve controls were determined to be 0.6 and 0.5 and 0.7 and 0.7 at 24 hours and 48 hours post-challenge, respectively. Given that the reactions observed in the test and naïve control group were similar, it is concluded that the test material, 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated, is not a dermal sensitizer in this delayed contact hypersensitivity study conducted in the guinea pig.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study (Morris, T.D., 1995; Klimisch score = 1), 30 naïve young adult Hartley guinea pigs (male and female) were topically exposed to 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated using the Buehler method. A primary test was conducted initially where the irritation potential of the test material at levels of undiluted, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, and 0.5% w/v in Spectrum Mineral Oil Light, U.S.P was evaluated. The test exposures lasted 6 hours. During the induction phase, undiluted test material was placed on the clipped left shoulders of test animal once a week for 3 weeks for a total of 3 exposures. After the last induction exposure, the animals were left untreated for approximately two weeks (14 days) before primary challenge. At challenge, test animals, which had three previous exposures to the test material at appropriate intervals, were again exposed in the challenge phase approximately two weeks after the last induction exposure. In addition, ten naive animals, which had never been exposed to the test material, were concurrently treated with the same test material concentration. Appropriate historical positive control data was used for this study.

 

Slight patchy erythema was the main observation in the study while slight to confluent but moderate patchy erythema was observed in a few test and naïve control animals. The mean severity scores for the test group and naïve controls were determined to be 0.6 and 0.5 and 0.7 and 0.7 at 24 hours and 48 hours post-challenge, respectively.

 

Given that the reactions observed in the test and naïve control group were similar, it is concluded that the test material, 1-dodecene dimer, hydrogenated, is not a dermal sensitizer in this delayed contact hypersensitivity study conducted in the guinea pig.
