Testing For Safety & Efficacy Alain Khaiat PhD Vice President R&D Johnson and Johnson Asia Pacific
Testing for Safety • Cumulative Irritation: • To determine the irritation potential of topical product left on skin. • Sensitization (RIPT): • To determine the potential of a product to cause allergic contact response. • Photo-toxicity: • To assess the potential of ingredients to causelocalized irritant reactions when exposed to sunlight • Photosensitization: • To determine the potential of a product to cause allergic contact response when exposed to sunlight.
Safety Testing Cumulative Irritation • 25 volunteers • Occlusive patch applied for 48 to 72 hours RIPT - Predictive testing for skin sensitizers. • 100 - 200 volunteers • 10, 48 hr Patches - 3 weeks • Rest period - 2 weeks • Challenge 48hr at new skin site.
Safety Testing Phototoxicity • 20 volunteers • 1 dose • 0, 24, hr exposure & patches • Read @ 48, 72 hr Photoallergy • 25 volunteers, fair skinned • Induction phase – twice/week for 3 weeks. Reading & irradiated 24 hrs after patching • Rest period – 2 weeks • Challenge phase – Patch at new skin site. Read @ 24, 48, 72 hrs
Suggested Test Criteria EC50TEP Rating 2.20 or higher PASS 1.8 - 2.19 Borderline 1.79 or lower FAIL Ocular Safety In-vitro Screening: Transepithelial Permeability (TEP) EC50= test pdt concn where 50% of the max amount of dye to leak through the barrier into the lower well. Corneal Epithelium MDCKCells • MDCK cells grown to confluence • Tight junctions b/w cells form an impermeable barrier • Dye marker will not cross undamaged cell layer
Required Tests Criteria Ocular Safety In-Vivo Test: Human Ocular Irritation Test Stinging at time of installation Which is not statistically higher than sterile water control • Panel of 10 subjects • Supervised by an opthalmologist • Subject focus on any minor discomfort • in their eyes after application of warmed • test products. • Measures sting, lacrimation, irritation • One eye receives 10% conc of test substance and the other eye receives distilled water When 5 subjects (or more) experience larger responses on test product than to water, the test product will generally fail to be “non – irritating” to the eye
