Abstract:
Methods for preparing lyophilized pellets of antibodies that specifically bind to human IL-23 are described. The pellets have a substantially spherical shape and are prepared by freezing droplets of a liquid composition of a desired biological material on a flat, solid surface, in particular, a surface that does not have any cavities, followed by lyophilizing the frozen droplets. These methods are useful for preparing lyophilized pellets having a high concentration of anti-IL-23 antibody, and which have a faster reconstitution time than lyophilized powder cakes prepared in vials. Also provided are improved formulations for use in preparing lyophilized forms of antibodies that specifically bind to human IL-23.
Abstract:
The invention provides stable liquid formulations for a recombinant biopharmaceutical protein comprising a soluble form of the human p75 TNF receptor fused to an Fe domain of a human immunoglobulin protein (TNFR:Fc). Typically, biopharmaceutical proteins such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and immunoglobulin fusion proteins (e.g., immunoadhesion proteins) are produced by recombinant DNA technology in mammalian cell expression systems. In order to guarantee the reproducible clinical performance of a biopharmaceutical product, manufacturers have to deliver a product of consistent and reproducible quality.
Abstract:
The invention relates to stable formulations of antibodies against human programmed death receptor PD-1, or antigen binding fragments thereof. In some embodiments the formulations of the invention comprise between 5-200 mg/mL anti-PD-1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The invention further provides methods for treating various cancers with stable formulations of the invention. In some embodiments of the methods of the invention, the formulations are administered to a subject by intravenous or subcutaneous administration.
