Brief Summary:
Open, prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the bioequivalence of povidone (PVP) formulations of 2 T.R.U.E. TEST allergens: fragrance mix and thimerosal.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dermatitis, Contact Biological: TRUE Test allergens Fragrance Mix and Thimerosol Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Bioequivalence will be determined in 40 adult subjects (20 per allergen), who have a clinical history of contact dermatitis and have tested positive to fragrance mix or thimerosal.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: T.R.U.E. Test allergens Fragrance Mix and Thimerosol

Concordance (agreement) between positive patch reactions to

  1. fragrance mix (0.43 mg/cm2) in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) vs fragrance mix (0.43 mg/cm2) in hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)
  2. thimerosol (0.008 mg/cm2) in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) vs thimerosol (0.008 mg/cm2) in hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)
  3. fragrance mix T.R.U.E. Test allergen vs fragrance mix reference allergen (petrolatum)
  4. thimerosol T.R.U.E. Test allergen vs thimerosol reference allergen (petrolatum)

will be measured

 Biological: TRUE Test allergens Fragrance Mix and Thimerosol
  • Thimerosal, 0.008 mg/cm2 in hydroxypropylcellulose
  • Thimerosal, 0.008 mg/cm2 in polyvinylpyrrolidone
  • Fragrance mix, 0.43 mg/cm2 in hydroxypropylcellulose with β-cyclodextrin
  • Fragrance mix, 0.43 mg/cm2 in polyvinylpyrrolidone with β-cyclodextrin

Patches are placed at day one and removed 48 hours. The duration of the study lasts 21 days. However, the subject is only exposed the the study allergen for 48 hours.

Other Name: T.R.U.E. TEST Skin Patch Test


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Analysis of Bioequivalence: Concordance [ Time Frame: Up to 21 days ]
    Percent agreement between T.R.U.E. Test allergen in PVP vs HPC is based on a positive test response during at least one post application visit

  2. Agreement Between TRUE Test Allergen and Reference Allergen [ Time Frame: Up to 21 days ]
    Sensitivity: Agreement between positive results for the test and reference allergen Specificity: Agreement between negative results for the test and reference allergen


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Irritation, Adhesion, Itching/Burning [ Time Frame: Visit 2: 48 hours after patch application ]
    Frequency of tape-induced irritation at the test site, incomplete panel adhesion and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning.

  2. Frequency of Late and Persistent Reactions [ Time Frame: Day 2 (48 hours after application) through Day 21 ]
    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
