Clinical Trial Summary

We propose a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study comparing the diagnostic performance (primary) and safety (secondary) of 3 concentrations of Disperse blue 106 and 4 concentrations of Bronopol in 40 adult subjects (20 subjects per allergen) with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test (current or previous) to the corresponding reference petrolatum allergen ("sensitives").

Description:

Primary endpoint:

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol T.R.U.E. Test allergens in 20 adult subjects per allergen with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test to the respective reference allergen. Evaluations will include:

• Determination of the lowest concentration eliciting positive skin reactions (+1 or +2) in 70-90% of sensitive subjects.

• Frequency of positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions for each allergen and tested concentration.

• Concordance/discordance as compared to the corresponding reference petrolatum allergen.

Secondary endpoint:

To evaluate the safety of Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol T.R.U.E. Test allergens in 20 adult subjects per allergen with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test to the respective reference allergen. Evaluations will include:

• The frequency of tape-induced irritation at the test site, incomplete panel adhesion, and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning.

• The frequency and characterization of adverse events and serious adverse events.

• The frequency and characterization of late and/or persistent reactions.

• Acute dermatitis outbreak or dermatitis on or near the test area on the back.

• Subjects unable to comply with patch test study requirements including multiple return visits and activity restrictions (e.g., protecting test panels from excess moisture due to showering or vigorous activity).

• Subject participation in clinical trials of investigational drugs, treatments or devices other than T.R.U.E. Test during this study or 3 weeks prior to inclusion in this study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Diagnostic Performance: Optimal Test Allergen Concentration	Lowest concentration eliciting 1+ or 2+ positive reactions in 70-90% of subjects	Visits 3-5: 3-21 days after application
Primary	Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration	Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who elicited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to disperse blue at visit 3- all subjects	Visit 3: 3 days after application
Primary	Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration	Percent (including confidence intervals) of subjects who elicited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to disperse blue at visit 4- all subjects	Visit 4: 7 days after application
Primary	Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration	Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who exhibited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to bronopol at visit 3- all subjects	Visit 3: 3 days after application
Primary	Frequency of Positive, Negative, Doubtful and Irritant Reactions for Each Allergen and Concentration	Percentage (including confidence intervals) of subjects who exhibited positive, negative, doubtful and irritant reactions to bronopol at visit 4- all subjects	Visit 4: 7 days after application
Primary	Concordance Between Investigational Allergen and Reference Allergen	Concordance between disperse blue or bronopol and the respective reference petrolatum allergen	Visit 5: 21 days after patch application
Secondary	Frequency of Irritation (Tape Reactions), Late/Persistent Reactions and Subject-reported Itching or Burning	Percentage of subjects who exhibited irritation and itching or burning at patch removal (entire panel is evaluated) and late/persistent reactions.; Late reactions occur 7-10 days after patch application Persistent reactions initially occur at 2-4 days after application and persist through 7-21 days after application	Day 2-21
Secondary	Adverse Events	The adverse event-reporting period began at application and ended with the Day 21 visit. Adverse events were followed until they resolved. Serious adverse events and those assessed by the investigator as possibly related to the investigational product were to be followed until they resolved or until the investigator assessed them as chronic or stable.
