Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common inflammatory skin disease, which represents a major public health issue in industrialized countries. ACD is induced by repeated contact of individuals with environmental chemicals and is characterized by a delayed type IV hypersensitivity response with skin inflammation mediated by allergen-specific T cells in sensitized individuals.

The current diagnosis is based on clinical examination, assessment of environmental exposures and patch testing. Although the robustness of patch tests has long been established, this method can sometimes give inconclusive results, leading to problems in disease management.

Preliminary results indicate that the molecular analysis of Patch-Tests (PT) reactions could allow a more reliable diagnosis. Importantly, this gene profiling approach may help to identify patients with false positive PT reactions, i.e. patients whose PT reactions did not show any "allergy signature".

However, it remains to be demonstrated that the presence or absence of allergy biomarkers in PT lesions are indeed predictive of ACD response in patients.

The main objective is to describe the correlation between these molecular signatures and the reactivity of individuals when they are exposed to allergenic compounds under conditions of use (using ROAT test).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient with patch test reactions

Patient with at least one positive/doubtful patch test reaction for nickel, limonene hydroperoxide and/or linalool hydroperoxide

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Blood sample

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A blood sample (48 ml) will be collected from each patient before performing the ROAT tests. This sample will be used to perform in vitro lymphocyte proliferation test, and cytokine measurements.

Skin biopsies

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

2 skin biopsies will be performed at the inclusion: one from positive/doubtful patch test reaction and one from control patch test. In case of positive ROAT test, 2 additional biopsies will be collected: one from positive ROAT test reaction and one from control area. Molecular analysis will be performed.

ROAT test

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

ROAT test (repeated open application test) is a use test used to establish the clinical relevance of patch tests. Patients will be exposed to 3 solutions of increasing concentration containing the culprit allergen (nickel, limonene hydroperoxide or linalool hydroperoxide), as well as a solution containing the vehicle alone (control solution), 2 times a day for up to 21 days, in the absence of a reaction.
