[0099] Preparation of antigen binding domains and construction of bispecific molecules

[0100] The antigen-binding domains specific for a particular antigen can be prepared by any antibody production technique known in the art. Once obtained, conventional methods can be used to appropriately arrange two different antigen-binding domains specific for two different antigens relative to each other to produce the bispecific antigen-binding molecule of the present invention. In certain embodiments, one or more individual components (eg, heavy and light chains) of the multispecific antigen binding molecules of the invention are derived from chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or fully human antibodies. Methods of preparing such antibodies are well known in the art. For example, you can use VELOCIMMUNE TM The technique prepares one or more heavy chains and / or light chains of the bispecific antigen binding molecules of the present invention. Use Velocimmune TM Technology (or ...

Embodiment 1

[0113] Example 1: Reducing oxygen in the headspace of medicines

[0114] In this embodiment, a standard GMP freeze-drying chamber is used as a vacuum chamber, which is equipped with a Pirani vacuum gauge for measurement and a needle valve for pressure control. During the two cycles, the bispecific antibody with a concentration of 2 mg / ml in the liquid formulation was packaged in a vial with a rubber stopper on the exhaust plunger and covered with nitrogen to reduce the oxygen in the headspace from -21% Reduce to about 0.25%.

[0115] Table 1: Non-oxidizing gas covering treatment

[0116]

[0117] Once the vial is placed in the chamber, a vacuum is applied (step 6) to remove the gas from the chamber (it starts with -21% oxygen in air). The pressure (100,000 microbars) is higher than the vapor pressure of water to avoid evaporation, foam formation and potential splashing, and is measured with a Pirani vacuum gauge. Under ordinary freeze-drying conditions, there is a vacuum that reac...

Embodiment 2

[0138] Example 2: Stability test of medicine

[0139] Using different concentrations of headspace oxygen, the stability analysis of various drugs prepared using the method discussed in Example 1 was carried out and compared with the control where the headspace oxygen was at or close to the atmospheric level (~21%) For comparison. In some cases (noted here), argon is used instead of nitrogen in the charging part of the method. Size exclusion ultra performance liquid chromatography (SE-UPLC) was used to detect high molecular weight (HMW) substances, and cation exchange ultra performance liquid chromatography (CEX-UPLC) was used to detect charge variant substances.

[0140] Such as figure 1 As shown, reducing the headspace oxygen content from 21% to less than 1% by nitrogen blanketing reduced the degradation of bispecific antibodies observed by CEX-UPLC after 31 months storage at 5°C. In the case of an oxygen content of 21%, the percentage change of the main charge variant substanc...

Abstract

The present invention provides drug products comprising sealed containers containing a stable liquid recombinant protein, such as an antigen-binding protein, composition and a headspace gas comprisingless than 5% oxygen, and methods of producing same. As such, the present invention provides a method for controlling the oxygen levels in the headspace of a drug product in a sealed container comprising a stable liquid recombinant protein composition and a headspace gas comprising less than 21% oxygen.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to liquid antibody compositions and methods of producing such compositions by minimizing and / or controlling the level of oxidizing gas in the headspace of a container that is filled and stored with the composition prior to administration. [0002] technical background [0003] The development of antibody therapeutics, including monospecific and bispecific antibodies, is continuing for the treatment of various diseases and diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. As the production of antibody molecules directed against specific targets has improved, antibody efficacy has also increased. Whether stored at a high concentration for small volume administration or at a lower concentration for efficient treatment, when present in a liquid formulation filled and stored in a pharmaceutical container such as a vial and administered via a syringe, antibody molecules are easily Oxidation. The International Conference on Harmoniz...
