    Clinical therapies, including dermatology and oncology, require safe application. In vitro experiments allow only limited conclusions about in vivo effects, while animal studies in, e.g., rodents have ethical constraints at a large scale. Chicken embryos lack pain reception until day 15 postfertilization, making the in ovo model a suitable alternative to in vivo safety assessment. In addition, the hen's egg test on chorioallantoic membrane assay allows irritation potential analysis for topical treatments, but standardized analysis has been limited so far. Medical gas plasma is a topical, routine, approved dermatology treatment. Recent work suggests the potential of this technology in oncology. Its main mode of action is the release of various reactive species simultaneously. Intriguingly, varying plasma feed gas compositions generates customized reactive species profiles previously shown to be optimized for specific applications, such as skin cancer treatment. To support clinical implications, we developed a novel chicken embryo CAM scoring and study scheme and employed the model to analyze 16 different plasma feed gas settings generated by the atmospheric pressure plasmajet kINPen, along with common anticancer drugs (e.g., cisplatin) and physiological mediators (e.g., VEGF). Extensive gas- and liquid-phase plasma reactive species profiling was done and was found to have a surprisingly low correlation with irritation potential parameters. Despite markedly different reactive species patterns, feed gas-modulated kINPen plasma was equally tolerated compared to standard argon plasma. CAM irritation with gas plasmas but not anticancer agents was reversed 48 h after treatment, underlining the only temporary tissue effects of medical gas plasma. Our results indicate a safe therapeutic application of reactive species.
