Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:

skin

Study type:

study with volunteers

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Skin sensitisation study over a 6 weeks period involving three phases: (1) Induction, (2) Rest, (3) Challenge. The induction phase consisted of 9 consecutive applications of the test material for 24 hours and subsequent evaluations. The challenge phase was initiated after the rest period of 14 days in the sixth week of the study. Test substance was again applied for 24 hours and reactions graded 48 and 72 hours after application. A rechallenge was performed whereever there was evidence of possible sensitisation.

Details on study design:

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

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: non-porous, plastic film adhesive bandage with a 2 cm x 2 cm Webril pad affixed with hypoallergenic tape such as Scanpor or Micropore as needed
- Vehicle / solvent: water
- Concentrations: 2.0 % (w/v) solution for MV#2764-178
- Volume applied: 0.2 mL
- Testing/scoring schedule: 9 induction pads are consecutively applied each for 24 hours, reactions are scored 48 hours after application (if patch was applied on a friday, subjects removed the patch 24 hours later and reactions were scored the following monday (72 hours after application)); after scoring the next patch was applied; the induction phase is followed by a 2 week resting period, after which the challenge pads are applied to previously unexposed sites, the patches are again removed after 24 hours and reactions are scored 48 and 72 hours after application. In case of possible evidence for sensitization a rechallenge is conducted (occlusive and semiocclusive) 1 or two weeks after challenge, patches are again applied for 24 hours and scoring is done 48, 72 and 96 hours after application.
- Removal of test substance: removal of patch

EXAMINATIONS
Grading/Scoring system:
- no reaction
? doubtful response, barely perceptible erythema, only slightly different from surrounding skin
+ definite erythema, no edema
+* definite erythema, minimal or doubtful edema
++ definite erythema, definite edema
+++ definite erythema, definite edema & vesiculation
D or d damage to epidermis: d = drying/scaling; D = oozing, crusting and/or superficial erosions

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:

Only two subjects showed erythema and slight edema during the induction period, all other subjects were without reactions
