5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal data
The negative results obtained in the only available study in rats
given chloroquine by oral administration did not form an adequate
basis on which to make an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of this
compound.
N.B. - The Working Group was aware of an on-going carcinogenicity study in mice (IARC, 1976).
5.2 Human data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group.
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 60: Group 3)
