The skin allergy risk assessment-integrated chemical environment (SARA-ICE) defined approach to derive points of departure for skin sensitization

Mechanistically based non-animal methods for assessing skin sensitization hazard have been developed, but are not considered sufficient, individually, to conclusively define the skin sensitization potential or potency of a chemical. This resulted in the development of defined approaches (DAs), as do...

description Mechanistically based non-animal methods for assessing skin sensitization hazard have been developed, but are not considered sufficient, individually, to conclusively define the skin sensitization potential or potency of a chemical. This resulted in the development of defined approaches (DAs), as documented in OECD TG 497, for combining information sources in a prescriptive manner to provide a determination of risk or potency. However, there are currently no DAs within OECD TG 497 that can derive a point of departure (POD) for risk assessment. The Skin Allergy Risk Assessment – Integrated Chemical Environment (SARA-ICE) DA for skin sensitization is a Bayesian statistical model that estimates a human-relevant metric of sensitizer potency, the ED01, an estimate of the human predictive patch test dermal dose at which there is 1% chance of inducing sensitization, which can be used in a risk assessment paradigm. The model accounts for variability of input data and explicitly quantifies uncertainty. SARA-ICE derives the ED01 from a variety of in vitro and in vivo test method data and is built upon historical human, murine, and in vitro test data for 434 chemicals. In addition to the ED01 POD SARA-ICE DA also provides a Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) classification probability for GHS subcategories 1A, 1B and not classified (NC). Here we describe the SARA-ICE model and its evaluation, including performance versus benchmark PODs. In addition, via a case study with isothiazolinones (ITs), we demonstrate the utility of SARA-ICE for integrating different data inputs and compare the ED01 for six ITs to existing historical data.
