HRIPT for Collagen Dressing

Covalon Technologies Inc.86 enrolled

Overview

The objectives of this study are to determine by repetitive epidermal contact, the primary or cumulative irritation and the allergic contact sensitization potential of the ColActive Plus Collagen Matrix Dressing, under maximized conditions, with controlled product quantity and application site.

Approximately 75 healthy subjects satisfying all criteria listed below will be enrolled to complete the study with a minimum of 50 subjects. The test product will be applied on the 25-millimeter Hill Top Chamber®, which will be applied directly to the test site. The positive control will be applied to each subject for the first 48 hours only, and the negative control will be applied throughout the study along with the test product. Enough product will be used to cover the chamber. The procedure involves occlusive patching of the test product and control(s) for a minimum of 48 hours followed by an assessment. The procedure will be repeated until a series of 9 consecutive 48-hour exposures have been made over 3 consecutive weeks. This induction phase is followed by an approximate two-week rest period. The challenge phase consists of a challenge or test dose applied once to a previously unexposed test site. Clinical staff will remove the patches 48 hours post-application. Reactions will be scored 30 minutes post-removal, 24-hours post-removal, and 48-hours post-removal. Skin response at each application site will be evaluated according to the Berger and Bowman Scale.

Induction phase: Test article applied with Hill Top chamber every 48+ hours over 3 weeks. Rest phase: 10-day rest period with no application. Challenge phase: Test article applied for 48 hours and evaluated through 48 hours post removal. The positive control is evaluated at Induction 1 only. The negative control is applied following the same schedule as the test article.

Primary Outcomes

Skin Sensitization Reaction Using Berger and Bowman Scale

Inflammatory response graded as 0 through 3: 0=no visible reaction; +=slight, confluent, or patchy erythema; 1=Mild erythema (pink); 2=moderate erythema (definite redness); 3=strong erythema (very intense redness) Definition of letter grades appended to a numerical grade: E = Edema - swelling, spongy feeling when palpated P = Papule - red, solid, pinpoint elevation V = Vesicle - small elevation containing fluid B = Bulla reaction - fluid-filled lesion (blister) S = Spreading - evidence of the reaction beyond the Webril® pad area W = Weeping - result of a vesicular or bulla reaction - serous exudate I = Induration - solid, elevated, hardened, thickened skin Superficial Effects g = Glazing y = Peeling c = Scab, dried film of serous exudate of vesicular or bulla reaction d = Hyperpigmentation (reddish-brown discoloration of test site) h = Hypopigmentation (loss of visible pigmentation at test site) f = Fissuring - grooves in the superficial layers of the skin
