• The performance of each allergen will be evaluated based on: Calculating concordance/discordance between T.R.U.E. Test Panel 3.2 allergens and their corresponding petrolatum or aqueous-based allergens and calculated sensitivity and specificity. [ Time Frame: End of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

• Evaluations will be based on: Frequency and characterization of late and/or persistent reactions, tape-induced irritation, incomplete panel adhesion, and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning and the frequency of adverse events. [ Time Frame: End of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

Primary endpoint:

The performance (efficacy) of each allergen will be evaluated in adult patients with suspected contact dermatitis, and in adult patients with a known or suspected sensitization to at least one of the seven allergens. Performance will be based on:

• Calculated concordance/discordance between T.R.U.E. Test Panel 3.2 allergens and their corresponding petrolatum or aqueous-based allergens.
• Calculated sensitivity and specificity for T.R.U.E. Test Panel 3.2 allergens.

Secondary endpoint:

To evaluate the safety of seven T.R.U.E. Test Panels 3.2 allergens (Gold sodium thiosulfate, Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate, Methyldibromoglutaronitrile, Bacitracin, Parthenolide, Disperse blue 106 and Bronopol) in adult subjects with suspected contact dermatitis ("consecutives"), and/or in adult subjects with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a current or previous positive patch test to one (or more) of these 7 allergens ("sensitives"). Evaluations will be based on:

• The frequency and characterization of late and/or persistent reactions, tape-induced irritation at the test site, incomplete panel adhesion, and subject-reported sensations of itching or burning during the test period.
• The frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Consecutive subjects must report symptoms and/or history consistent with allergic contact dermatitis to at least one of the allergens tested in the study (i.e., subjects are visiting the clinic/physician to diagnose, treat or resolve this condition).

• Sensitive subjects must have a positive patch test to one of the following allergens within the past 10 years.

  • Gold sodium thiosulfate
  • Methyldibromoglutaronitrile (alone or with phenoxyethanol)
  • Bacitracin
  • Bronopol
  • Disperse blue 106 (alone or with Disperse blue 124)
  • Parthenolide (or Compositae mix)
  • Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate
• All subjects must be adults over 18 years of age, and otherwise in good health.
• Premenopausal female subjects with childbearing potential must consent to a urine pregnancy test; urine test results must be negative for study inclusion.
• Informed consent must be signed and understood by each subject, and consistent with all institutional, local and national regulations.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects unable to meet inclusion requirements.
• Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant.
• Topical corticosteroid treatment during the last 7 days before visit 1 on or near the test area.
• Systemic treatment with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants during the last 7 days.before visit 1.
• Subjects currently receiving (or received in the 21 days before visit 1) other investigational drugs, treatments or devices, or participating in another clinical study.
• Treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light (including tanning) during the 21 days before visit
• Acute dermatitis outbreak or dermatitis on or near the test area on the back.
• Subjects unable to comply with patch test study requirements including multiple return visits and activity restrictions (e.g., protecting test panels from excess moisture due to showering or vigorous activity).
