Table 2. Summary of dermal dose site findings.

Summary of all dose site dermal observations over the in-life portion of the study. Injection sites A and B (left and right thigh muscle, respectively) comprised the IM vaccine and adjuvant control dosing locations. Injection sites C, D, E, and F (upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right dorsal regions, respectively) comprised the subcutaneous (SC) Oxycodone challenge dosing sites. All dosing sites were scored using a modified Draize technique and the signs scored included atonia, desquamation, edema, erythema, eschar, and fissuring. Observations for sites A and B were performed prior to dosing and approximately 1, 6, and 24 hours post dosing on Days 1, 15, 29, and 43. Observations for dose sites C, D, E and F were performed prior to the first oxycodone dose and once after each dose at approximately 45 ± 15 minutes on Days 51 through 57 of the dosing phase. Data are presented as the total number of non-normal signs observed per the total number of observations for all animals in the treatment group at any time throughout the study.
