Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Diltiazem Hydrochloride 2% Cream will cause irritation to skin on the back of healthy volunteers after repeated application over 21-days.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this study will be to determine the potential of Diltiazem Hydrochloride 2% Cream to cause irritation after repeated topical application to the healthy skin of humans under controlled conditions.

In addition, safety will be assessed by evaluation of any adverse events (AEs) reported during the study.
