Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dermal Irritation Score Using the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) Scale | During the induction phase (approximately 3 consecutive weeks) | Dermal irritation response will be assessed using the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) skin reaction grading scale (0-4). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allergic Contact Sensitization Response Using ICDRG Scale | Through completion of all skin assessments during the study (approximately 5-6 weeks) | Allergic contact sensitization response will be assessed using the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) skin reaction grading scale (0-4) following challenge exposure |
