Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of ucb 22060 was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 405. The test item was applied by instillation of 0.1 g into the left eye of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. Scoring of irritation effects was performed approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, as well as 7 days after test item instillation. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctival, separately. The individual mean scores for corneal opacity and iris were 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctival were 1.33, 1.33 and 0.33 for reddening and 0.00,0.33 and 0.00 for chemosis, respectively. The instillation of ucb 22060 into the eye resulted in mild, early-onset and transient ocular changes, such as reddening of the conjunctival and sclerae, discharge and chemosis. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 7 days after treatment, the end of the observation period for all animals. No abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the examinations. No corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals. No staining of the treated eyes by the test item was observed and no other clinical signs of test item related effects were observed. Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the rabbit eye, Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 2001/59/EC of August 06, 2001 ), ucb 22060 is considered to be “not irritating” to the rabbit eye.
