Human Skin Safety Testing of a Mitopure Topical Product Using a Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT) in Healthy Volunteers

A Modified Draize Repeat Insult Patch Test in a Shared Panel of 50/100 Healthy Volunteers, to Investigate the Irritation and Sensitization Potential of Test Articles Following Repeated Cutaneous Patch Applications

The objective of this study is to investigate the irritation and sensitization potential of multiple topically applied test articles (containing different concentrations of Mitopure), in a shared panel of healthy volunteers by means of repeated cutaneous patch applications under occlusion based on the modified Draize method

Inclusion Criteria:

• Currently taking asthma medication or antihistamines for hay fever.
• A history of multiple drug hypersensitivity.
• Concurrent medication likely to affect the response to the test articles or confuse the results of the study (e.g. Anti-allergy, glucocorticoid, aspirin, non- steroidal anti-inflammatory, asthma or hay fever medication).
• Known sensitivity to the test articles or their constituents including patch materials (for example tape/plaster adhesive).
• Current treatment by a physician for allergy unless physician consulted by Investigator and participation approved.
• Participation in a repeat insult patch test (RIPT) or follow-up work within the last month.
• Sensitisation or questionable sensitisation in a RIPT.
• Recent immunisation (less than 10 days prior to test patch application).
