Materials and methods

Type of study / information:
study with volunteers
Endpoint addressed:
basic toxicokinetics
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The sequential scintiscanning technique was used to determine gastric emptying rates in adult human subjects after ingestion of a meal of cornflakes and milk to which a gamma-emitting radioactive isotope (113m In DTPA chelate) had been added.

Results and discussion

Results:
Adult volunteers absorbed less than 2% of a 200µCi dose of 113In as DPTA complex

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the adult volunteers absorbed less than 2% of a 200µCi dose of 113In as DPTA complex
