Sailstad, D M. SKIN SENSITIZATION AND ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS (BASIC COURSE): THE GLOBAL REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT - CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE; 1 OF 4 SPEAKERS FOR AN SOT BASIC COURSE. Presented at Society of Toxicology, Baltimore, MD, March 21, 2004.
Description:
New regulations have emerged in recent years giving guidance on how best to conduct skin sensitization testing on new chemical entities. For example, recently The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) in the U.S. and the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) in Europe have reviewed and approved the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) as a stand-alone skin sensitization test method. Moreover, by the end of 2003, it is anticipated that new OECD guidelines will be in place. This presentation will describe the current status of regulatory requirements worldwide and also provide an insight of changes in regulations that are anticipated in the coming years.
