Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
There was one positive reaction to test chemical in the skin test was observed out of 31 pateints. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

The allergenic potential of test chemical was determined in a number of studies using up to 31 patients. 19 males and 12 females, with a history of aspirin intolerance were used for the assay. 31 patients were given an intradermal injection of 0.02 ml of 0.1% test chemical; the results were scored 20 min after dosing. There was one positive reaction to test chemical in the skin test was observed out of 31 patients. Hence, the test material can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
