Results and discussion

Results of examinations:

There was no evidence of skin sensitization observed on the 80 subjects (21 of preliminary study plus 59 of main study) who completed the test.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS HRIP-Test:

There was no evidence of skin sensitization observed on the 80 subjects (21 of preliminary study plus 59 of main study) who completed the test . A dose finding pilot study on 8 subjects was organised for four levels (1%, 0.6%, 0.2% and 0.05% w/v aqueous) of test substance. 0.5% w/v was chosen as the initial concentration for preliminary panel which was then reduced to 0.2% w/v after five applications.

SYMPTOMS

- Frequency, level, duration of symptoms observed: Treatment sites were observed 48 hours after patching on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday regimen for 3 weeks for nine induction exposures. In the preliminary panel a total of 21/21 subjects completing the study had mild erythema (grade 1),

10/21 subjects had moderate erythema (grade 2) and 2/21 subjects had strong erythema (grade 3). In the main panel a total of 54/59 subjects completing the study had mild erythema (grade 1) and 11/59 subjects had moderate erythema (grade 2). 14 days after final insult patch, treatment sites were challenged and observed at 48 and 96 hours after patch. In the preliminary panel a total of 4/21 subjects completing the study had mild erythema (grade 1). In the main panel a total of 7/59 subjects completing the study had mild erythema (grade 1).

No responses indicative of skin sensitization were observed.

NO. OF PERSONS WITH/OUT REACTIONS COMPARED TO STUDY POPULATION

- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 0/80

- Number of subjects with negative reactions: 80/80

- Number of subjects with equivocal reactions: 0/80

- Number of subjects with irritating reactions: 11/80 exhibited mild erythema (grade 1)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Synprolam 35 MX/ Quaternary ammonium compounds, C12-18-alkyl(hydroxyethyl)dimethyl, chloride did not produce skin sensitization in humans in an Human Repeat Insult Patch Test .

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of C13-15 dimethyl hydroxyethylammonium chloride was assessed in a human repeat insult patch study. A total of 87 subjects commenced the study. Subjects were exposed to 9 induction patches containing 0.2 % (w/v) of test substance in distilled water on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule for a period of 3 weeks. Patches were removed 24 hours after each application and patch sites were graded at 48 hours after patch application prior to the next patch application. Fourteen days after the final insult patch (9th patch), subjects were challenged with 0.2% w/v of test substance in distilled water (24 hour patch exposure). Challenge patch sites were graded at 48 and 96 hours after patch application.

A total of 80 subjects completed the study. 7 subjects were dropped during the study.

0.5% w/v was chosen as the intial conecentration for preliminary panel which was then reduced to 0.2% w/v after five applications due to irritation.At challenge there was no evidence of skin sensitization observed on the 80 subjects who completed the test.

Thus, C13-15 dimethyl hydroxyethylammonium chloride (CAS No. 85736 -63 -6) did not produce skin sensitization in humans.
