| Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The endpoint will be the mean primary irritation scores calculated from the individual grading recorded by the assessor.;Main Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the primary skin irritation potential of Ciclopirox Olamine (CPO) at three different concentrations (1.5%w/w, 1.0%w/w and 0.5%w/w) compared against three comparator products, water (sterile water) and a Placebo (vehicle with no CPO) following cutaneous patch applications. The water and placebo, along with a blank patch will be used as controls. | — |
