Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Patch-Test
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Patch-Test was conducted to determine the skin sensitisation effects of test chemical on humans.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
patch test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The patch test has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
None of the patients experienced sensitization to test chemical although one patient showed slight to moderate irritation from this compound. Hence the test chemical can be considered as not sensitizing to the skin.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of test chemical was assessed in 22 patients by patch testing. The patients were treated with 1% of test chemical in petrolatum for 24 hours under occlusive condition.

The test chemical was applied on the back with a non-occlusive porous tape (Scanpor Surgical Tape) or when the back is full of patch test, thighs were used. The test site was read on patch removal and after 24, 48, 72 and 96-120 hours.

None of the patients experienced sensitization to test chemical although one patient showed slight to moderate irritation from this compound. Hence the test chemical can be considered as not sensitizing to the skin.
