This is a randomized, single-center, controlled, within-subject comparison study assessing the sensitization potential of the investigational product, LEO 43204 gel under open conditions in healthy volunteers. LEO 43204 Gel and Vehicle Gel will be applied to adjacent sites on the infrascapular area of the back. Evaluation of dermal reactions at the application sites will be assessed clinically using a visual scale that rates the degree of erythema, edema and other signs of cutaneous irritation. Following induction, subjects will have a 10 to 14-day Rest Phase, after which they will enter the Challenge Phase, which consists of one 48-hour application to a naive site on the opposite side of the back. Observations at the naive site during Challenge and the patterns of reactivity during the Induction Phase will provide a basis for an interpretation of contact sensitization. A total of 10 applications will be made over a period of approximately 6-8 weeks.

The determination of dermal sensitization will be based on LSRs and confirmed at a Rechallenge. If recurrence in Rechallenge is equivalent to or more severe than observed at challenge it will be considered indicative of a sensitization reaction.
