Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability in a pretest. Since 5% in Oleum arachidis could be injected and was well tolerated, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction. The concentrations for the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations of the test item have been examined on separate animals for the determination of the maximum subirritant concentration: 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50% in vaseline. The tested concentrations did not induce erythema reactions, therefore a concentration of 50% was selected for the epidermal applications in the main study.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 1 week each
- Test groups: - adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- test article in Oleum arachidis (w/v)
- test article in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)
- Control group: - adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- Oleum arachidis (w/v)
- adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)
- Site: neck region
- Frequency of applications:
- Duration: 2 weeks induction, 2 weeks rest period
- Concentrations: 5% for intradermal injection, 50% for epidermal induction

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: d15
- Exposure period: 24hours
- Test groups: test article in vaseline, and vaseline alone
- Control group: test article in vaseline, and vaseline alone
- Site: flank
- Concentrations: 50%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after challenge
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked every six months with a known sensitiser. The results of the latest positive control test are presented in the report (Potassiomdichromate)

Any other information on results incl. tables

One female animal showed an erythema score of 1 (very slight erythema (barely perceptible)) after 24 hours of challenge. Therefore, under the experimental conditions employed, 5% of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 hours after removing the dressings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
5% of the animals were sensitised by the test item under the experimental conditions employed. The test item is therefore considered to be not sensitizing.
