Study summary

This is a safety study to determine the skin sensitization potential of ZuraPrep™ and ZuraPrep™ without isopropyl alcohol (IPA) after repetitive patch applications to skin of human subjects. Indications of both sensitization and skin irritation will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to determine if the test product, ZuraPrep™ is a skin sensitizing agent when applied to human skin. The study, a modified Draize skin sensitization evaluation, will be conducted in three discrete phases: 1) induction, 2) rest, and 3) challenge. During the Induction Phase, skin sites are exposed to the test product repeatedly for 21 consecutive days. The Rest Phase, a 14-day period when no treatment is performed, serves to provide adequate time for the immune system to react to ZuraPrep™, given any of its components serve as antigens. During the Challenge Phase, the subjects' skin is re-exposed to the test product (ZuraPrep™) to determine if it is likely to be immunosensitizing.

    ZuraPrep without IPA will be compared to ZuraPrep with regard to skin sensitization and irritation

    Also known as: ZuraPrep without Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Skin sites evaluated and graded for irritancy or sensitization

    Only frank sensitization will be categorized, as a positive control (known sensitizing agent) is prohibitive due to ethical considerations/risk of life-time sensitization. Reactions observed will be assessed as to whether indicative of sensitization or of irritation.

    Time frame: 0-40 days post dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Statistics of irritation scores

    Irritation scores, relative to the Test Products, Reference Product, and the Negative Control applied to skin on each test day will be compared as well as the total cumulative irritation scores across all test days.

    Time frame: 0-40 days post dose
