The latest revision, effective November 1, 2023, introduces updates particularly relevant to the\n compounding of allergenic extracts, which emphasizes stringent compliance measures. Objective:<\/jats:bold> This article aims to review the key updates to USP Chapter 797, outline the compliance requirements for personnel and facilities, and offer strategies for staying current with\n these practice guidelines, leveraging resources from professional organizations such as American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. Methods:<\/jats:bold> An extensive review of the updated USP Chapter 797 guidelines was\n conducted, along with supplementary research from professional resources and literature to provide a comprehensive overview of the new standards and best practices for compliance. Results:<\/jats:bold> The updated USP Chapter 797 mandates comprehensive training and competency testing\n for compounding personnel, facility maintenance and documentation standards, and robust quality assurance protocols to minimize contamination and ensure the efficacy of compounded allergenic extracts. Key requirements include enhanced personnel hygiene and garbing requirements, facility maintenance\n protocols, and detailed documentation practices. Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Staying current with USP Chapter 797 and practice guidelines is crucial for allergists and immunotherapy practitioners to ensure high standards of patient care and safety. By understanding the key updates, complying\n with personnel and facility requirements, leveraging professional resources, and adopting standardized practices, health-care providers can effectively navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. Continuous education and adherence to quality assurance protocols will further support compliance\n and enhance patient outcomes in allergen immunotherapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2025.46.240078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,31]],"date-time":"2024-12-31T04:30:58Z","timestamp":1735619458000},"page":"26-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Allergen immunotherapy: How to stay current with USP 797 and practice guidelines"],"prefix":"10.2500","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Maureen M.","family":"Petersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1355","reference":[{"key":"B1","article-title":"Updates to USP General Chapters <795> and <797>"},{"key":"B2","article-title":"Building trust for over 200 years: a timeline of USP"},{"key":"B3","first-page":"236","article-title":"The potential impact of USP 797 and what the JCAAI is doing about it","volume":"28","author":"Nathan","year":"2007","journal-title":"Allergy Asthma Proc"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2022.43.220028","article-title":"United States Pharmacopeia guidance for compounding of allergenic extracts for allergen immunotherapy","volume":"43","author":"Sublett","year":"2022","journal-title":"Allergy Asthma Proc"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1996","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaip.2019.01.058","article-title":"AAAAI\/ACAAI Subcutaneous Immunotherapy Surveillance Study (2013-2017): fatalities, infections, delayed reactions, and use of epinephrine autoinjectors","volume":"7","author":"Epstein","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2022.43.220035","article-title":"Safety of subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy","volume":"43","author":"Bernstein","year":"2022","journal-title":"Allergy Asthma Proc"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1887","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2016.03.021","article-title":"Immunotherapy: no evidence of infectious risk","volume":"137","author":"Balekian","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Allergy Clin Immunol"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2019.01.029","article-title":"Mining social media data to assess the risk of skin and soft tissue infections from allergen immunotherapy","volume":"144","author":"Blumenthal","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Allergy Clin Immunol"},{"key":"B9","article-title":"Allergen extract mixing toolkit"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anai.2017.11.007","article-title":"USP\u2019s revisions to sterile compounding standards and FDA guidance; impacts on mixing of allergen extracts","volume":"120","author":"Meadows","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anai.2011.06.018","article-title":"Allergen immunotherapy practice in the United States: guidelines, measures, and outcomes","volume":"107","author":"Cox","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol"}],"container-title":["Allergy and Asthma Proceedings"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/ocean\/aap\/2025\/00000046\/00000001\/art00008","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]],"date-time":"2025-01-01T04:31:48Z","timestamp":1735705908000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.2500\/aap.2025.46.240078"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]]}},"alternative-id":["1088-5412(20250101)46:1L.26;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2500\/aap.2025.46.240078","relation":{},"ISSN":["1088-5412"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1088-5412","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]]}}}
