CARCINOGENICITY<br />

Conclusion:<br />

The available carcinogenicity data were judged adequate to meet the endpoint.<br />

Basis <strong>for</strong> Conclusion:<br />

Increased tumor incidences were observed in a combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity assay<br />

in rats exposed to Proprietary A in the diet (Ref. 24).<br />

• Carcinogenicity (OPPTS Harmonized Guideline 870.4200; OECD Guideline 451)<br />

No studies <strong>of</strong> this type were located.<br />

Combined Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity (OPPTS Harmonized Guideline 870.4300;<br />

OECD Guideline 453)<br />

A 2-year feeding bioassay by Ref. 24 was consistent with this guideline.<br />

Type: Combined oral chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity assay<br />

Species, strain, sex, number: Rat, Sprague-Dawley, 60/sex/group<br />

Purity: 95%<br />

Doses: 0, 5, 20, and 80 mg/kg body weight/day<br />

Vehicle: None other than feed<br />

Route: In feed; diets blended weekly to achieve target doses<br />

Exposure duration, frequency: 2, ad lib<br />

Method: See description above under Chronic Toxicity<br />

Results: The following neoplastic changes compared to controls were statistically significant<br />
