Brief summary:
This study is designed to assess the systemic exposure and pharmacokinetics of sunscreen active ingredients (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule, octocrylene homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate) when sunscreen product is applied under maximal use conditions.

Part 1 is an open-label, randomized, 4-arm study in 24 healthy adult subjects with the primary objective to explore whether the active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene) of 4 sunscreen products (1 sunscreen product in each arm) are absorbed into the systemic circulation when a sunscreen product is applied under maximal use conditions.

One sunscreen product with the highest avobenzone exposure will be selected for the second part of the study. If there is no quantifiable exposure of avobenzone for any of the sunscreen products, the formulation with the highest oxybenzone exposure will be selected for Part 2. In addition, 3 new sunscreen products are included in Part 2.

Part 2 is an open label, 4-arm study in 48 healthy adult subjects with the primary objective to assess the pharmacokinetics of the active components in the selected product from Part 1 and 3 additional products with a combination of active ingredients (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate as applicable/contained in the different products).

Detailed description:
Part 1

Part 1 is an open label, randomized, 4-arm pilot study to evaluate the effects of multiple applications of 4 different topical sunscreen formulations in healthy adult subjects. Each arm will include 6 subjects (3 male and 3 female) with 1 formulation. A total of 24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) from all 4 arms will be admitted to the clinical research unit (CRU) on Day 0. On the morning of Days 1 through 4, subjects will receive a topical application of the study drug at approximately 0900 hours. The study product will be weighed in advance and applied by a qualified person from the study team. Subjects will then receive 3 more topical applications on the same day at 2, 4, and 6 hours after the first dose.

Part 2

Part 2 is an open label, 4-arm study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate (as applicable in the different products) after multiple applications of a topical sunscreen formulation in healthy adult subjects. Part 2 will include 48 subjects (24 male and 24 female) and each arm will include 12 subjects (6 male and 6 female). One of the formulations in Part 2 will be selected based on the plasma exposure data from the pilot study (Part 1). A total of 48 subjects (24 male and 24 female) will be admitted to the CRU on Day 0. On the morning of Days 1 through 4, subjects will receive a topical application of the study product at approximately 0900 hours. The study drug will be weighed in advance and applied by a qualified person from the study team. Subjects will only receive one application on Day 1. On Days 2, 3 and 4 subjects will receive an initial dose and 3 more topical applications on the same day at 2, 4, and 6 hours after the first dose.

Parts 1 and 2

In both parts, approximately 2 mg of active sunscreen ingredient per 1 cm2 of body surface (calculation per method of Dubois) will be evenly applied 4 times per study day (except for a one-time application on the first day in part 2) to areas of the body typically exposed to the sun: face, ears, neck, torso, arms, and legs (approximately 75% of the body surface area). The antecubital areas will be avoided when applying the sunscreen due to potential contamination of the sites used for intravenous pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sample collection. The topical applications of study drug will be administered with subjects in swim wear to simulate real world settings as well as for easy application. In addition to swim wear, subjects may wear scrubs in between applications and at other times throughout the day/night. Subjects are required to shower each morning after the first PK blood sample collection (and before the first dose of the day), but not at other times during the day.

Blood samples (approximately 10 mL per sample) will be collected for determination of plasma concentrations for all active ingredients (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate, where applicable).

Safety evaluations will include adverse event (AE) monitoring, vital sign measurements, and physical examinations. All AEs reported by the subject or observed by the investigator or clinical research unit (CRU) staff will be recorded. Any AE reported after the informed consent is signed and before study drug application will be recorded as medical history.

Subjects will remain in the CRU after admission on Day 0 until the morning of Day 7 following completion of scheduled end-of-study activities for Part 1. For Part 2, subjects will undergo the same schedule but will return to the clinic for follow-up visits on Days 10, 14 and 21. Subjects will then be discharged following completion of End-of-Study activities.

Subjects are not allowed to use products containing any of these active ingredients from 7 days before check-in until completion of End-of-Study procedures.

Background and 
Motivation:
Sunscreens prevent skin damage by reflecting or absorbing 
ultraviolet (UV) radiation and they are regulated as drug products in 
the United States (U.S.). Most active ingredients in sunscreens are 
organic chemicals and some have been shown to be absorbed 
through human skin with detectable levels in the blood or urine. As 
part of the safety evaluation for sunscreen products, the Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) requests an assessment of systemic 
absorption in humans so that human blood levels can be compared 
with exposure levels obtained in nonclinical toxicology studies. If 
testing establishes that the sunscreen is not absorbed through the skin 
into the body, some aspects of toxicology testing may not be needed.
Sunscreen products may be applied multiple times daily as both 
primary sunscreen products and as ingredients in cosmetic products, 
in substantial amounts for a lifetime starting at 6 months of age. The 
amount of sunscreen ingredient in a product can vary, but permitted 
levels can be as high as 15% for some organic active ingredients and 
application to the skin can accumulate to gram quantities in a day 
even with modest use. Because of the significant use of these 
sunscreens, even a low percentage of systemic absorption (e.g., 
0.1%) could represent a significant systemic exposure in a single day 
and over a lifetime.
The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer calls 
on partners in prevention from various sectors across the nation to 
address skin cancer as a major public health problem by increasing 
awareness of skin cancer and promoting actions to reduce its risk. 
Given the recognized public health benefits of sunscreen use, the 


U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Confidential
Protocol No. SCR-005
13 December 2018
Page 8 of 54
Version 1.4
FDA is committed to finding ways to facilitate the marketing of 
sunscreen products that include additional over-the-counter (OTC) 
sunscreen active ingredients. The FDA will continue to work with 
industry and other public health agencies to ensure that the 
sunscreens consumers use are safe and effective for daily, life-long
use.
In November 2016, the U.S. FDA finalized the guidance titled 
“Guidance for Industry: Nonprescription Sunscreen Drug Products 
Safety and Effectiveness Data” (sunscreen guidance). The guidance 
requests an assessment of the human systemic absorption of
sunscreen ingredients with a Maximum Usage Trial (MUsT). The 
FDA sunscreen guidance notes that some nonclinical toxicity studies 
may be waived if results of an adequately conducted human 
pharmacokinetic (PK) MUsT show a steady-state blood level less 
than 0.5 ng/mL.
Periodically, the FDA performs testing of products and formulations 
that the Agency sees as important for public health. This testing is 
not a reflection of rulemaking or other regulatory actions, but instead 
is done independently to measure the agency’s understanding of the 
products’ overall safety and effectiveness.
This study is not intended to meet all requirements of MUsT studies 
as outlined in the FDA guidance referenced above, but will follow 
many of the principles.
Summary and 
Objectives:
Part 1 is an open-label, randomized, 4-arm study in 24 healthy adult 
subjects with the primary objective:
To explore whether the active components (avobenzone, 
oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene) of 4 sunscreen products 
(1 sunscreen product in each arm) are absorbed into the systemic 
circulation when a sunscreen product is applied under 
maximal-use conditions. 
One sunscreen product with the highest avobenzone exposure will be 
selected for the second part of the study. If there is no quantifiable 
exposure of avobenzone for any of the sunscreen products, the 
formulation with the highest oxybenzone exposure will be selected 
for Part 2. In addition, 3 new sunscreen products are being included 
in Part 2.
Part 2 is an open-label, 4-arm study in 48 healthy adult subjects with 
the following primary objective:
To assess the systemic absorption and pharmacokinetics of the 
active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene,
ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate, where applicable
[Part 2 products will not contain ecamsule]) of 4 sunscreen 
products (1 sunscreen product in each arm) under maximal-use 
conditions.

Part 2
Part 2 is an open-label, 4-arm study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics 
of avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate and 
octinoxate (where applicable [Part 2 products will not contain 
ecamsule]) after multiple applications of a topical sunscreen 
formulation in healthy adult subjects. Part 2 will include 48 subjects 
(24 male and 24 female) and each arm will include 12 subjects (6 
male and 6 female). One of the formulations in Part 2 will be 
selected based on the plasma exposure data from the pilot study (Part 
1) along with 3 additional formulations. A total of 48 subjects (24
male and 24 female) will be admitted to the CRU on Day 0. On the 
morning of Days 1 through 4, subjects will receive a topical 
application of the study product at approximately 0900 hours. 
The study drug will be weighed in advance and applied by a 
qualified person from the study team. Subjects will only receive one 
application on Day 1. On Days 2, 3 and 4, subjects will receive an 
initial dose and 3 more topical applications on the same day at 2, 4, 
and 6 hours after the first dose.
Parts 1 and 2
In both parts, approximately 2 mg of active sunscreen ingredient per 
1 cm2 of body surface (calculation per method of Dubois) will be 
evenly applied 4 times per study day (except for a one-time 
application on the first day in part 2) to areas of the body typically 
exposed to the sun: face, ears, neck, torso, arms, and legs 
(approximately 75% of the body surface area). The antecubital areas 
will be avoided when applying the sunscreen due to potential 
contamination of the sites used for intravenous PK blood sample 
collection. The topical applications of study drug will be 
administered with subjects in swim wear to simulate real-world 
settings as well as for easy application. In addition to swim wear, 
subjects may wear scrubs in between applications and at other times 
throughout the day/night. Subjects are required to shower each 
morning after the first PK blood sample collection (and before the

for determination of plasma concentrations for all active ingredients
(avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, 
octisalate and octinoxate, where applicable).
Safety evaluations will include adverse event (AE) monitoring, vital 
sign measurements, and physical examinations. All AEs reported by 
the subject or observed by the investigator or clinical research unit 
(CRU) staff will be recorded. Any AE reported after the informed 
consent is signed and before study drug application will be recorded 
as medical history.
Subjects will remain in the CRU after admission on Day 0 until the 
morning of Day 7 following completion of scheduled End-of-Study
activities for part 1. For part 2, subjects will undergo the same

Introduction
Sunscreens prevent skin damage by reflecting or absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation and 
they are regulated as drug products in the United States (U.S.). Most active ingredients in 
sunscreens are organic chemicals and some have been shown to be absorbed through 
human skin with detectable levels in the blood or urine. As part of the safety evaluation 
for sunscreen products, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requests an assessment 
of systemic absorption in humans so that human blood levels can be compared with 
exposure levels obtained in nonclinical toxicology studies. If testing establishes that the 
sunscreen is not absorbed through the skin into the body, some aspects of toxicology 
testing may not be needed.
Sunscreen products may be applied multiple times daily as both primary sunscreen 
products and as ingredients in cosmetic products, in substantial amounts for a lifetime 
starting at 6 months of age. The amount of sunscreen ingredient in a product can vary, but 
permitted levels can be as high as 15% for some organic active ingredients and 
application to the skin can accumulate to gram quantities in a day even with modest use. 
Because of the significant use of these sunscreens, even a low percentage of systemic
absorption (e.g., 0.1%) could represent a significant systemic exposure in a single day 
and over a lifetime.
The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer calls on partners in 
prevention from various sectors across the nation to address skin cancer as a major public 
health problem by increasing awareness of skin cancer and promoting actions to reduce 
its risk. Given the recognized public health benefits of sunscreen use, the FDA is 
committed to finding ways to facilitate the marketing of sunscreen products that include 
additional over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen active ingredients. The FDA will continue 
to work with industry and other public health agencies to ensure that the sunscreens 
consumers use are safe and effective for daily, life-long use.
In November 2016, the U.S. FDA finalized the guidance titled “Guidance for Industry: 
Nonprescription Sunscreen Drug Products Safety and Effectiveness Data” (sunscreen 
guidance) DHHS, 2016) [1]. The guidance requests an assessment of the human systemic 
absorption of sunscreen ingredients with a Maximum Usage Trial (MUsT). The FDA 
sunscreen guidance notes that some nonclinical toxicity studies may be waived if results 
of an adequately conducted human pharmacokinetic (PK) MUsT shows a steady-state 
blood level less than 0.5 ng/mL.
Periodically, the FDA performs testing of products and formulations that the Agency sees 
as important for public health. This testing is not a reflection of rulemaking or other 
regulatory actions, but instead is done independently to measure the agency’s 
understanding of the products’ overall safety and effectiveness.

This study is not intended to meet all requirements of MUsT studies as outlined in the 
FDA guidance referenced above, but will follow many of the principles.

Study Objectives
4.1.
Primary Objectives
4.1.1
Part 1
Part 1 is an open-label, randomized, 4-arm study in 24 healthy adult subjects with the 
primary objective:
To explore whether the active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and 
octocrylene) of 4 sunscreen products (1 sunscreen product in each arm) are absorbed 
into the systemic circulation when sunscreen is applied under maximal-use 
conditions. 
One sunscreen product with the highest avobenzone exposure will be selected for the 
second part of the study. If there is no quantifiable exposure of avobenzone for any of the 
sunscreen products, the formulation with the highest oxybenzone exposure will be 
selected for Part 2.
4.1.2
Part 2
Part 2 is an open-label, 4-arm study in 48 healthy adult subjects with the following 
primary objective:
To assess, where applicable, the pharmacokinetics and systemic absorption of the 
active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, 
octisalate and octinoxate) of 4 sunscreen products (1 sunscreen product in each 
arm) under maximal-use conditions.
5.
Investigational Plan
5.1.
Study Design
This will be a single clinical study conducted in 2 parts. The duration of study 
participation will be approximately 37 days for part 1, including a 30-day screening 
period, a 4-day treatment period (Days 1-4) and subjects leaving the clinic on the 
morning of Day 7 following completion of scheduled End-of-Study activities. For part 2, 
the duration of participation will be approximately 51 days, including a 30-day screening 
period, a 4-day treatment period (Days 1-4) and subjects leaving the clinic on the 
morning of Day 7. Subjects in part 2 will then return to the clinical for follow-up visits on 
Days 10, 14 and 21 after which End-of-Study activities will be completed.

Version 1.4
5.1.1
Part 1
Part 1 is an open-label, randomized, 4-arm pilot study to evaluate the effects of multiple 
applications of 4 different topical sunscreen formulations in healthy adult subjects. Each 
arm will include 6 subjects (3 male and 3 female) with 1 formulation. A total of 
24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) from all 4 arms will be admitted to the clinical 
research unit (CRU) on Day 0.
On the morning of Days 1 through 4, subjects will receive a topical application of the 
study product at approximately 0900 hours. The study drug will be weighed in advance 
and applied by a qualified person from the study team. Subjects will then receive 3 more 
topical applications on the same day at 2, 4, and 6 hours after the first dose.
5.1.2
Part 2
Part 2 is an open-label, 4-arm-study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of avobenzone, 
oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate (Part 2 products will not 
contain ecamsule) after multiple applications of a topical sunscreen formulation in 
healthy adult subjects. Part 2 will include 48 subjects (24 male and 24 female) and 12 
subjects in each arm (6 male and 6 female). One of the formulations in Part 2 will be 
selected based on the plasma exposure data from the pilot study (Part 1). In addition, 3
new formulations will be added.
On the morning of Days 1 through 4, subjects will receive a topical application of the 
study product at approximately 0900 hours. The study drug will be weighed in advance 
and applied by a qualified person from the study team. Subjects will only receive one 
application on Day 1. On Days 2, 3 and 4, subjects will receive an initial dose and 3 more 
topical applications on the same day at 2, 4, and 6 hours after the first dose.
5.1.3
Tape Stripping
For Part 2 only, skin tape stripping (6 consecutive strippings) of the lower back (area: 
around 3.8 cm2) will be conducted once on Days 7 and 14 to determine residual 
sunscreen active ingredients in the superficial layers of the skin. The intention of the 
stripping is to determine the concentration of sunscreen active ingredients in superficial 
layers to estimate the potential skin deposit and 6-8 strips will be required to remove 
most of the stratum corneum layer [2-3]. The number of strips is restricted to 6 to 
minimize any skin irritation or skin rash [2-3].

Common Procedures
Details of study visits and study procedures are described in Section 5.6 and Section 5.7,
respectively, and the overall Schedule of Events for both parts of the study is presented in 
Section 10.1.
In both parts of the study, approximately 2 mg of sunscreen per 1 cm2 of body surface 
(calculation per method of Dubois) will be evenly applied 4 times per study day (except 
for a one-time application on the first day in part 2) to areas of the body typically exposed 
to the sun: face, ears, neck, torso, arms, and legs (approximately 75% of the body surface 
area). The antecubital areas will be avoided when applying the sunscreen due to potential 
contamination of the sites used for intravenous (IV) PK blood sample collection. The 
topical applications of the study drug will be administered with subjects in swim wear to 
simulate real world settings as well as for easy application. In addition to swim wear, 
subjects may wear scrubs in between applications and at other times throughout the 
day/night. Subjects are required to shower each morning after the first PK blood sample 
collection (and before the first sunscreen application for that day), but not at other times 
during the day. And, subjects should not use any personal care products which contain 
avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate or octinoxate
during the study.
Blood samples (approximately 10 mL per sample) will be collected for determination of 
avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate 
(where applicable) plasma concentrations.
Safety evaluations will include adverse event (AE) monitoring, vital sign measurements, 
and physical examinations. All AEs reported by the subject or observed by the 
investigator or CRU staff will be recorded. Any AE reported after the informed consent is 
signed and before study drug application will be recorded as medical history.
Subjects will remain in the CRU after admission on Day 0 until discharge on the morning 
of Day 7. In Part 2, subjects will return to the clinic on Day 10, 14 and 21 for follow-up
PK sampling (Days 10, 14 and 21) and tape stripping (Days 14).
Subjects are not allowed to use products containing any of the active ingredients from 7
days before check-in until completion of End-of-Study procedures.
5.1.5
Risk/Benefit
Subjects will be informed that participation in a human PK study like the present one 
cannot be of benefit to healthy volunteers. Nevertheless, the information from the 
physical examination, vital sign measurements, and ECG results may be shared with the 
subject’s personal physician if this is the subject’s choice. Subjects will be informed that

Confidential
Protocol No. SCR-005
13 December 2018
Page 23 of 54
Version 1.4
it is also their choice to inform their personal physician that they are participating in this 
research study.
Subjects will be informed that their contribution to the study is of major importance to 
agencies like the U.S. FDA for helping this agency better evaluate the effects of human 
systemic absorption of sunscreen ingredients. However, since this is a study involving 
healthy volunteers, subjects will be informed that they have the alternative not to 
participate.
Subjects will be informed that they may be exposed to risks associated with the 
pharmacological properties of the study drugs and the study procedures.
The study sunscreen products will not be administered to anyone who is pregnant. All 
women must take a pregnancy test before receiving any study drug in this study. All men 
and all women of childbearing potential enrolled in this study will be informed that they 
must use 2 highly effective birth control methods (as determined by the investigator or 
designee; one of the methods must be a barrier technique) during the study and for at 
least 1 month after the last application of study drug. Subjects will be informed that they 
must notify the investigator if they or their female partners become pregnant during the 
course of the study.
Subjects will be informed that insertion of an IV catheter may be required for blood 
sample collection on Days 1 and 4 and, during insertion of the catheter, soreness, 
bruising, or infection at the insertion site are possible but unlikely. Subjects will also be 
informed that dizziness and lightheadedness may occur during direct venipuncture, 
insertion of the IV catheter, or during blood collection.
Subjects will be informed that tape stripping applied to the skin may cause mild pain or 
irritation and skin rash at the area of tape stripping after the procedure.
Subjects will be informed that they may eat only meals and snacks that are provided 
during periods of their stay in the study clinic, and that they must consume all of each 
meal that is served at a reasonable pace (within 25 minutes).
Subjects will be informed that the confidentiality of their data will be respected at all 
times according to state law, and the study personnel handling their study data are bound 
by confidentiality agreements.
Subjects will be informed that the study drug and all tests, procedures, and visits required 
by the study are provided at no cost to them. If subjects become ill or physically injured 
because of participation in this study, they will be informed that costs of treatment will 
not be covered by the sponsor.

AE: The subject has experienced an AE that, in the opinion of the investigator, 
requires early termination. The appropriate electronic case report form (eCRF) must 
be completed for each AE. If a subject is discontinued from the study due to an AE, 
the investigator is required to follow up with the subject until the event resolves or 
becomes stable. If a subject dies during the study, the cause of death must be reported 
as a serious AE (SAE), with an outcome of death noted in the eCRF.
Protocol Violation: The subject failed to meet protocol entry criteria or did not adhere 
to protocol requirements, and continued participation poses an unnecessary risk to the 
subject’s health.
Withdrawal by Subject: The subject (or other responsible individual [e.g., caregiver]) 
wishes to withdraw from the study in the absence of a medical need.
NOTE: Withdrawal due to an AE should not be recorded in the “voluntary 
withdrawal” category.
Study Terminated by Sponsor: The sponsor, IRB, FDA, or other regulatory agency 
terminates the study.
Pregnancy: The subject is found to be pregnant.
NOTE: If the subject is found to be pregnant, the subject must be withdrawn 
immediately. The pregnancy will be followed up to term, and the outcome, including 
any premature termination will be recorded. All live births must be followed for a 
minimum of 30 days or until the first well baby visit.

NOTE: This category records withdrawals caused by an accidental or a medical 
emergency, unblinding, and other rare cases. The specific reason should be recorded 
in the comment space of the eCRF.
5.5.1
Handling of Withdrawals
The investigator may terminate a subject’s study participation at any time during the 
study when the subject meets the criteria described in Section 5.5. In addition, a subject 
may discontinue his or her participation without giving a reason at any time during the 
study. Subjects will be informed that their participation in the study is voluntary, that 
refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is 
otherwise entitled, and that the subject may discontinue participation at any time without 
penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.
Should a subject’s participation be discontinued, the primary reason for termination must 
be recorded. In addition, efforts should be made to perform all procedures scheduled for 
the early termination visit. Any data and samples collected before subject withdrawal will 
become the property of the sponsor.
5.5.2
Replacement Subjects
Approximately 72 healthy subjects are planned for enrollment, of which 24 subjects will 
be enrolled and randomized in Part 1 and 48 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in 
Part 2. Up to 18 subjects may be qualified as replacements. Thus, a maximum of 
90 subjects may be exposed to study drugs and procedures during the study.
5.6.
Study Visits
5.6.1
Recruitment
Recruitment materials (e.g., internet, radio, and print advertisements, social media posts) 
will be approved by the local IRB before telephone screening. The sponsor is responsible 
for registration of the study on clinicaltrials.gov; however, this may not occur until the 
IRB has approved the final study protocol.
5.6.1.1
Compensation
Subjects will be offered payment for Screening; however, if the results of their alcohol 
and drug screening tests are positive, they will not be compensated. Subjects who 
complete the entire study (Day 0 to Day 7 in Part 1 or Day 0 to Day 21 in Part 2) will 
receive payment according to the schedule provided in the informed consent form. No 
special incentives are offered. Final payment will not be released until all follow-up
procedures have been completed and accepted by the investigator.

Version 1.4
If a subject chooses to withdraw from the study prematurely, he or she will only be 
compensated for completed days. If subjects are withdrawn for medical reasons or if the 
study is halted temporarily or permanently, the subjects will receive compensation 
proportional to the time spent in the study. No compensation will be provided if a subject 
is dismissed from the study for noncompliance (e.g., improper conduct, ingesting alcohol 
and/or drugs [including recreational drugs], tampering with the study drug, consuming 
any prohibited foods or beverages).
If subjects are required to stay in the clinic for a longer period for safety reasons, they 
will be compensated at a rate proportional to the entire compensation for the study. If a 
subject becomes ill or physically injured because of participation in this study, the subject 
will be referred for treatment.
5.6.2
Screening
The following procedures and assessments will be performed at Screening (Day –30 to 
Day –1):
Obtain informed consent/HIPAA authorization (The informed consent process will be 
performed by a clinical research nurse in a private room. The subject will be given 
unlimited time to ask questions regarding study participation, and each subject will be 
questioned to ensure their understanding.)
After informed consent is obtained:
Review inclusion/exclusion criteria to confirm subject eligibility

Study Procedures
5.7.1
Pharmacokinetic Assessments
5.7.1.1
Pharmacokinetic Sample Collection
Pharmacokinetic blood samples (approximately 10 mL per sample) will be collected for 
determination of avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate 
and octinoxate plasma concentrations (where applicable to the different sunscreen 
formulations) at the following time points (the time limit for PK sample draws can be +/-
5 minutes from the nominal time):
Day 1: 0 and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 (Part 2 only), 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14 hours after initial 
dose
Day 2: 23, 28, 33 h 
Day 3: 47, 52, 57 h 
Day 4: 71, 73, 74, 76, 78, 81, 82, 84 and 86 h
Day 5: 95 hours 
Day 6: 120 hours 
Day 7: 144 hours
Day 10: 216 hours (Part 2 only)
Day 14: 312 hours (Part 2 only)
Day 21: 480 hours (Part 2 only)
NOTE: when a time point corresponds with sunscreen administration, the PK sample will 
be collected before sunscreen administration.
5.7.1.2
Tape Stripping Sample Collection
For Part 2 only, tape stripping of the lower back to an area of around 3.8 cm2 will be 
conducted once on Days 7 and 14 to determine residual sunscreen active ingredients in 
the superficial layers of the skin. Tape stripping will be applied to different areas of the 
lower back on Day 7 vs. Day 14 to prevent false sampling.
The area on the lower back for each subject will be marked with a skin marker. Before 
executing the tape stripping, hair on the marked area will be removed with the 3M 
trimmer (no razors as this would damage the skin and could lead to false sampling). A 
pre-weighed standard tape (Standard D-Squame ® adhesive tape) will be applied to a 
marked area under constant pressure of 225 g/cm2 for 5 seconds using a D-Squame ®

Version 1.4
Pressure device. The tape will be removed swiftly and placed in a standard tape rack after 
weighing. Tape stripping will be performed 6 additional consecutive times in the same 
area with sampling intervals of 1 ± 0.5 minutes.
5.7.1.3
Pharmacokinetic Specimen Handling
The PK blood samples (10 mL each) will be collected into tubes containing K2EDTA, 
inverted several times to mix the blood with the anticoagulant, and placed in an ice bath. 
Within 30 minutes of collection, the samples will be centrifuged for 10 minutes, at 
3000 revolutions per minute, at 4°C, by a study team member.
The plasma will be separated using a disposable plastic pipette and approximately half of 
the plasma will be transferred into duplicate cryotube vials labeled as Aliquot A 
(primary) and Aliquot B (backup). The plasma samples will be appropriately labeled and 
stored frozen at –70°C or below until shipment. Temperature monitoring logs should be 
maintained and accessible for review by the study monitor.
The Aliquot A samples (primary) will be shipped first, on dry ice, to the bioanalytical 
laboratory at FDA for processing when requested by the sponsor. The Aliquot B samples 
(backup) will be held for a second shipment at a time after the completion of all Aliquot 
A sample shipment(s) and the timing of the Aliquot B shipment communicated by the 
sponsor. None of the PK blood samples will be stored at clinical facility for future use,
however the sponsor will store them for analytical purposes of this study only.
The tape strips will be transferred to pre-labeled D Squame ® standard storage cards and
stored frozen at –70°C or below until shipment.
Both plasma and skin concentrations of avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule, octocrylene,
homosalate, octisalate and octinoxate (where applicable) will be assayed using a 
validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method.

rate, respiratory rate, and oral body temperature), and physical examination findings.
5.7.2.1
Adverse Events
5.7.2.1.1 Adverse Event Definitions
An AE is defined as any untoward and/or unintended sign, including an abnormal clinical 
laboratory finding, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study 
drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Events or conditions that 


U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Confidential
Protocol No. SCR-005
13 December 2018
Page 35 of 54
Version 1.4
increase in frequency or severity during or as a consequence of use of a drug in human 
clinical trials will also be considered AEs.
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that begins after study 
drug administration.
An unexpected AE is any AE having a specificity or severity not consistent with the 
current investigator’s brochure for the study drug(s).
An SAE is defined as any AE occurring at any dose that meets the following criteria:
Results in death,
Is life threatening,
Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity,
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or
Is an important medical event that may not meet the previous criteria but, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, jeopardizes the subject or requires medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed previously.
5.7.2.1.2 Adverse Event Reporting
The recording of AEs will begin after the subject signs the informed consent form and 
will continue until discharge (or early termination). All AEs, whether serious or 
nonserious and whether or not related to the study drug, must be recorded in the eCRF. 
Study subjects will be instructed to warn study staff if he or she has any unexpected 
symptoms. In addition, all subjects will receive a reminder telephone call approximately 
24 hours before Check-in.
Any SAE (whether expected or unexpected) must be entered into the eCRF system and 
reported by facsimile to the medical monitor or designee using the SAE Reporting Form 
within 24 hours of the investigator or study clinic staff becoming aware of the event. It is 
the responsibility of the investigator to report all SAEs to the medical monitor, to provide 
the most complete report possible, and to assess each SAE for its relationship to the study 
drug. The investigator is responsible for obtaining follow-up information on all SAEs and 
submitting follow-up SAE data. Any unexpected SAEs must be reported promptly to the 
investigator’s IRB as per the IRB’s requirements.
In the event of a fatal or life-threatening SAE, the sponsor will notify the appropriate 
FDA authorities by telephone or facsimile within 7 calendar days of receipt of the report. 
The sponsor will follow all 7-day alert reports with a written report within 10 working 
days of receipt of the case. Serious AE cases that concern nonfatal, nonlife-threatening 


U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Protocol No. SCR-005
13 December 2018
Page 36 of 54
Version 1.4
events that are unexpected and at least possibly related to the study drug will be 
submitted in writing to the FDA within 10 working days of receipt.
Furthermore, any AEs that are not expected, occur at a higher frequency, or would 
require modification of the study protocol and/or informed consent must be reported to 
the FDA within 10 working days.
Adverse events that are assessed by the investigator as possibly or probably related to the 
study drug will be followed until they resolve or stabilize. All SAEs will be followed 
until resolution.
5.7.2.1.3 Assessment of Severity
The investigator will assess the severity of each AE using the following scale:
Mild: The subject is aware of the AE but is still able to perform all activities; minimal 
or no medical intervention or therapy is required.
Moderate: The subject has to discontinue some activities due to the AE; minimal or 
no medical intervention or therapy is required.
Severe: The subject is incapacitated by the AE and is unable to perform normal 
activities; significant medical intervention or therapy is required and hospitalization is 
possible.
5.7.2.1.4 Assessment of Causality
The investigator will assess the causal relationship/relatedness of each AE to the study 
drug using the following scale:
Not Related: Onset of the AE has no reasonable temporal relationship to 
administration of the study drug, a causal relationship to administration of the study 
drug is biologically implausible, or the event is attributed to an alternative etiology.
Unlikely Related: Onset of the AE has a reasonable temporal relationship to study 
drug administration and although a causal relationship is unlikely, it is biologically 
plausible.
Possibly Related: Onset of the AE has a strong temporal relationship to 
administration of the study drug, cannot be explained by the subject’s clinical state or 
other factors, and a causal relationship is biologically plausible.
Probably Related: Onset of the AE shows a distinct temporal relationship to 
administration of the study drug that cannot be explained by the subject’s clinical 
state or other factors, the AE is a known reaction to the product or chemical group, or 
can be predicted by the product’s pharmacology.

A serum pregnancy test will be performed for female subjects at the time points presented 
in the Schedule of Events (Section 10.1). If a subject becomes pregnant while on the 
study, this should be reported immediately to the investigator, the subject will be 
withdrawn from the study and the medical monitor and the subject will be instructed to 
follow-up with his or her personal physician. All pregnancies are to be reported as an AE 
and followed for outcome.
5.7.2.2
Clinical Laboratory Tests
Clinical laboratory and diagnostic screening tests will be performed at the time points 
presented in the Schedule of Events (Section 10.1) and will be collected in accordance 
with acceptable laboratory procedures. Clinical laboratory testing will be performed by 
Spaulding Clinical Laboratory, West Bend, Wisconsin, and Laboratory Corporation of 
America (LabCorp), Dublin, Ohio. The clinical laboratory tests that will be performed are 
presented in Table 5-1. Unused clinical laboratory test samples will not be stored for 
future use.
Clinical laboratory results will be reviewed by the investigator or designee together with 
data in the eCRF. Any values outside the reference range will be evaluated for clinical 
significance. If a value is determined to be clinically significant, the subject will be 
instructed to follow-up with his or her personal physician. The investigator or designee 
may repeat the clinical laboratory tests if deemed appropriate. The investigator will 
maintain a copy of the laboratory accreditation and the reference ranges for the laboratory 
used.

Method Assigning Subjects to Treatment
5.8.2.1
Randomization Process
Part 1 and Part 2
The FDA project biostatistician will create the specifications that will be used to generate 
the randomization schedule. The specifications will be based on the protocol 
requirements and appropriate statistical programming with consideration for study 
design, number of treatments, number of subjects planned for enrollment, stratification, 
and blocking.
Based on these specifications, the project biostatistician (or designee) will generate a 
dummy randomization schedule. The schedule is generated by a SAS®/ R or other
program, which produces output file(s) and/or SAS or R dataset(s).
The project biostatistician (or designee) distributes the ‘dummy’ randomization schedule 
to specified personnel for review. Any change (e.g., change in block size, change in 
stratification levels) that requires an update to the specifications will reset this process. 
Minor changes (e.g., display formatting) will not require a change to the specifications.
No transfer is necessary if the unblinded randomization biostatistician also created the 
‘dummy’ randomization.
The randomization biostatistician is responsible for generating the final randomization 
schedule. 
Randomization will occur after informed consent is obtained, either after completion of 
check-in procedures on Day 0 or just before dosing on Day 1. Unique subject numbers 
will be used in sequential order based on each subject’s order of qualification.

Data Quality Assurance
Completed eCRFs are required for each subject randomly assigned to study drug.
Electronic data entry will be accomplished through the ClinSpark® remote electronic data 
capture system, which allows for on-site data entry and data management. This system 
provides immediate, direct data transfer to the database, as well as immediate detection of 
discrepancies, enabling site coordinators to resolve and manage discrepancies in a timely 
manner. Each person involved with the study will have an individual identification code 
and password that allows for record traceability. Thus, the system, and subsequently any 
investigative reviews, can identify coordinators, investigators, and individuals who have 
entered or modified records.
Furthermore, the investigator retains full responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity 
of all data entered into the electronic data capture system. The completed dataset and 
their associated files are the sole property of the sponsor and should not be made 
available in any form to third parties, except for appropriate governmental health or 
regulatory authorities, without written permission of the sponsor.

certain personally identifiable information removed (i.e., subject name, address, and other 
identifier fields not collected in the subject’s eCRF).
Data will be maintained and backed up in the electronic data capture system. All access 
to the data is protected by username and password, and each staff member and all sponsor 
staff will have separate access that requires a separate username and password. Access is 
only given to site staff and requested sponsor staff who have completed the appropriate 
training.
8.3.
Certificate of Confidentiality
In order to protect the privacy of subjects, Certificates of Confidentiality will be obtained 
prior to the initiation of the study.
8.4.
Subject Consent
Written informed consent in compliance with 45 CFR 46 will be obtained from each 
subject before entering the study or performing any unusual or nonroutine procedure that 
involves risk to the subject. An informed consent template may be provided by the 
sponsor to the study clinic. If any institution-specific modifications to study-related 
procedures are proposed or made by the study clinic, the consent should be reviewed by 
the sponsor or its designee or both before IRB submission. Once reviewed, the consent 
will be submitted by the investigator to the IRB for review and approval before the start 
of the study. If the informed consent form is revised during the course of the study, all 
active participating subjects must sign the revised form.
Before enrollment, each prospective subject will be given a full explanation of the study 
and be allowed to read the approved informed consent form. The informed consent 
process will be performed by a clinical research nurse in a private room. The subject will 
be given unlimited time to ask questions regarding study participation, and each subject 
will be questioned to ensure their understanding. Once the investigator is assured that the

Study Objectives
The primary objective of this study is:
1. To explore whether the active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and 
octocrylene) of sunscreen products are absorbed into the systemic circulation when a 
sunscreen product is applied under maximal-use conditions. 
1.1
Primary Objective (Part 1)
Part 1 is an open-label, randomized, 4-arm study in 24 healthy adult subjects with the primary 
objective:
To explore whether the active components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and 
octocrylene) of 4 sunscreen products (1 sunscreen product in each arm) are absorbed into 
the systemic circulation when a sunscreen product is applied under maximal-use 
conditions. 
One sunscreen product with the highest avobenzone exposure will be selected for the second part 
of the study. If there is no quantifiable exposure of avobenzone for any of the sunscreen 
products, the formulation with the highest oxybenzone exposure will be selected for Part 2.
1.2
Primary Objective (Part 2) 
Part 2 is an open-label, 4-arm study in 48 healthy adult subjects with the following primary 
objective:
To assess, where applicable, the pharmacokinetics and systemic absorption of the active 
components (avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, octisalate and 
octinoxate, of 4 sunscreen products (1 sunscreen product in each arm) under maximal-use 
conditions.
Part 2 will include the sunscreen product with maximal avobenzone exposure from Part 1 and 3 
additional new sunscreen formulations. More detailed information about the study 
(inclusion/exclusion criteria and schedule of events) can be found in the study protocol.

Sample Size 
Approximately 72 healthy subjects are planned for enrollment, of which 24 will be assigned to 
Part 1 (randomized to 4 arms of 6 participants each) and 48 will be assigned to Part 2
(randomized to 4 arms of 12 participants each). Subjects are considered enrolled after 
determination by the Principal Investigator on Day 0 that they meet all eligibility criteria and are 
subsequently assigned a randomization/study identification number. The sample size was 
determined empirically and is typical for exploratory investigations of this type.

General Statistical Considerations, Subject Disposition and 
Demographics and Baseline Characteristics 
All data will be presented in data listings. Data from subjects excluded from an analysis 
population will be presented in the data listings but not included in the calculation of summary 
statistics. The number of subjects who enroll in the study and the number and percentage of 
subjects who complete each assessment will be presented. The frequency and percentage of 
subjects who withdraw or discontinue from the study and the reason for withdrawal or 
discontinuation will be summarized. Continuous demographic and baseline characteristic 
variables (age, height, weight, body mass index) will be summarized overall and by treatment 
using descriptive statistics (number of subjects, mean, standard deviation [SD], median,
interquartile range [IQR], and minimum and maximum). The number and percentage of subjects 
in each class of categorical demographic and baseline characteristic variables will also be 
summarized.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analyses and Primary/Secondary Outcomes
The PK sampling schedule for this study is summarized in Appendix A. The following PK 
parameters will be determined for each subject in Part 1 and Part 2:
Across all study days 
Maximum concentration (observed peak drug concentration) (Cmax)
Day 1
Maximum concentration (observed peak drug concentration) (Cmax)
Time at which Cmax occurs (Tmax)
AUC from time 0 to the 23 hour time point (Clast) (AUC0-23)
Days 2 and 3
Residual drug concentration (predose level) (Ctrough)
Concentration 3 hours after the last dose of the day
Day 4
Maximum concentration (observed peak drug concentration) (Cmax)
Time at which Cmax occurs (Tmax)
Elimination rate constant (Kel) and terminal half-life (t1/2); calculated after final dose using all 
the available data up to last study sample (144 hours for Part 1; 432 hours for Part 2) 
AUC from time 71 to the 95 hour time point (AUC73-95)
AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf) and/or last observed time point
Day 5, 6, 7, 10 (Part 2 only), 14 (Part 2 only) and 21 (Part 2 only)
Residual drug concentration (Ctrough)

6. Maximum* Octinoxate concentration (Cmax) (Part 2 Only)
* observed maximum;
Note that Cmax could occur on any of the days of the study. PK parameters Cmax, Clast, Ctrough,
Tmax, AUC0-t, Kel, t1/2 and AUC0-inf, will be summarized using descriptive statistics (number of 
subjects, mean, standard deviation [SD], coefficient of variation [CV], median, minimum, and 
maximum) for the days above for avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, ecamsule, homosalate, 
octisalate and/or octinoxate (depending on whether the specific sunscreen formulation contains 
each of the active ingredients; see Attachment B) in Part 1 and 2. The PK parameters will be 
analyzed using non-compartmental methods based on actual sampling times. Mean and 
individual concentration-time profiles will be presented in graphs.

Safety Analyses
All AEs will be coded using the latest version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA). The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), organized 
by system organ class and frequency, will be summarized by seriousness, severity, relationship 
to treatment, and by treatment at onset of the TEAE. A detailed listing of serious AEs and 
TEAEs leading to withdrawal will also be provided. 
Clinical laboratory results (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis) will be summarized 
using descriptive statistics (number of subjects, mean, SD, minimum, median, and maximum). 
Clinical laboratory results will be classified as normal or abnormal, according to the reference 
ranges of the individual parameter. The number and percentage of subjects with abnormal 
laboratory results will be provided. No statistical testing will be performed on clinical laboratory 
data.
Vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oral body temperature), 
safety 12-lead ECG results, and changes from Baseline for these parameters will be summarized 
by treatment and time point using descriptive statistics (number of subjects, mean, SD, 
minimum, median, and maximum). Physical examination findings will be presented in a data 
listing, and abnormal physical examination findings will be recorded as AEs. 
All concomitant medication usage and medications that changed in daily dose, frequency, or 
both since the subject provided informed consent will be summarized for each subject.
7
Missing Data 
Missing data will not be imputed. Data that are excluded from the descriptive or inferential 
analyses will be included in the subject data listings. This will include data from subjects not in

Data Quality Assurance 
Completed eCRFs are required for each subject randomly assigned to study drug. Electronic data 
entry will be accomplished through the ClinSpark remote electronic data capture (EDC) system, 
which allows for on-site data entry and data management. This system provides immediate, 
direct data transfer to the database, as well as immediate detection of discrepancies, enabling site 
coordinators to resolve and manage discrepancies in a timely manner. Each person involved with 
the study will have an individual identification code and password that allows for record 
traceability. Thus, the system, and subsequently any investigative reviews, can identify 
coordinators, investigators, and individuals who have entered or modified records.
Furthermore, the investigator retains full responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of all 
data entered into the electronic data capture system. The completed dataset and their associated 
files are the sole property of the sponsor and should not be made available in any form to third 
parties, except for appropriate governmental health or regulatory authorities, without written 
permission of the sponsor.
