Details on study design:
The test material was mixed into petrolatum N. F. at the indicated concentration. The test material was applied to the same forearm sites under occlusion for five alternate-day 48-hour periods. Each application of the test material was preceded by treatment of the patch site with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. Following a ten day rest period challenge patches of the test material were applied to fresh sites on the scapular backs under occlusion for 48 hours. The challenge sites were pretreated for one hour with 10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate. Clinical evaluations were made at 48 and 72 hours.

Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Diphenyl oxide did not produce any cases of contact allergy.
Executive summary:

Diphenyl oxide was evaluated for sensitization in humans following the Maximization Test (J.I.D., Vol. #5, 1966). The test material was mixed into petrolatum N. F. at 4% concentration. The test material was applied to the same forearm sites under occlusionfor five alternate-day 48-hour periods. Each application of the test material was preceded by treatment of the patch site with 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. Following a ten day rest period challenge patches of the test material were applied to fresh sites on the scapular backs under occlusion for 48 hours.The challenge sites were pretreated for one hour with 10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate. Clinical evaluations were made at 48 and 72 hours.

Diphenyl oxide did not produce any cases of contact allergy.
