Executive Summary
Cancel U.S. marketing agreement for the O-T-C version of ChemTrak's AccuMeter total cholesterol test, cleared by FDA on March 2 ("The Gray Sheet" March 8, p. 14). The December 1991 agreement was terminated by Whitehall Labs parent American Home Products, effective Oct. 23, due to a "change in corporate priorities." ChemTrak markets the same test in the U.S. for professional use through distributors. The Sunnyvale, California firm currently is evaluating other potential U.S. partners and the possibility for direct sales in niche U.S. markets.
