Neo-Synalar Modified 48 Hour Patch Test

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Allergy
Interventions
Other: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Aqueous Solution (0.40%)
Other: Saline
Registration Number
NCT02168478
Lead Sponsor
Noah Rosenberg, MD
Brief Summary

A 48 hour patch test performed in healthy volunteers to determine the presensitization (pre-existing allergy) of Neo-Synalar (neomycin sulfate 0.5%(0.35% neomycin base), fluocinolone acetonide 0.025%) Cream . Subjects also receive a positive control (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and a negative control (Saline).

The primary objective of this study is to determine if any subjects exhibit an allergic reaction which may be indicative of a pre-existing sensitization.

Detailed Description

Following approximately 48 hours of continuous skin contact, the patch units and test material are removed at the testing facility. The test sites are evaluated for a significant reaction according to the ESS (Erythemal Scoring Scale).

The test sites are also re-evaluated at 96 and 168 hours post-application (for late reaction) using the ESS.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evidence of Pre-Existing Sensitization by Use of the Erythemal Scoring Scale (ESS)48, 96 and 168 Hours

ESS is measured at 48, 96 and 168 hours post-application of study material. The Erythemal Scoring Scale (ESS) is defined as a 6 point scale (0-4). "0"= no visible erythema; "0.5"= slight, barely perceptible erythema; "1"= mild erythema; "2"= moderate erythema; "3"= marked erythema; "4"= severe erythema. An ESS score of 1 or greater that persists or worsens from one visit to the next is defined as pre-existing sensitization.
