Stability studies with a few well-characterized allergen extracts have yielded useful information about the shelf-life of these products stored under various conditions. The development of validated stability-indicating tests and their clinical verification remains a fundamental challenge for extending this information to cover more products. This challenge becomes even greater for evaluations of more complex, multiextract mixtures that are used in clinical practice. Thus, the current approach for developing guidelines for extract expiration dating practices must rely on extrapolations of data obtained from a few well-controlled studies.
