AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes new and improved versions of etanercept, a drug used to treat certain medical conditions. These new versions can be stored as a liquid for extended periods without needing a special buffer, and they also cause less pain when injected into patients. This makes them more convenient and useful for patients.

Problems solved by technology

Formulation of a protein drug can present many challenges for the pharmaceutical scientist.
Especially for engineered proteins that differ in substantial respects to known proteins, finding appropriate stability conditions can be challenging.
However, this formulation is not stable for storage.

Testing of Various Formulations

[0048]This example demonstrates the effects of pH and buffer on etanercept at 50 mg / mL, and assesses the stability of a high concentration (100 mg / mL) solution without added phosphate buffer. The following formulations were tested.

[0057]This study was a single-center, randomized, single-blind, crossover design in which 48 healthy men and women received single SC injections of 6 solutions.

[0058]Test formulations (detailed below in Table 9) were administered by a trained healthcare professional in 6 unique sequences with 8 subjects randomized to each sequence. Injections were administered in each quadrant of the anterior abdominal wall and administered approximately 1 hour apart. Within 30 seconds after each injection, subjects assessed their level of injection pain using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Adverse events were collected from the beginning of the first injection through 30 days after the first injection. Safety follow-up phone calls were conducted on day 2 (24 hours after the sixth injection) and day 31 (+2 days).

Stability Testing of Formulation Candidates

[0065]A long-term study was performed to monitor etanercept stability in several new formulation candidates at 50 mg / mL. The stability was assessed on 1 mL fills in 1 mL staked glass needle syringes using SE-HPLC, HIC HPLC, dSEC HPLC, and particulate matter (HIAC) after storage at 4° C., 25° C. and 40° C. Osmolality and protein concentration were tested at time zero only, and pH was tested at time zero and after 12 weeks of storage to confirm that there was no pH drift. The results of the study showed that the formulations tested remained similar to the current commercial formulation after 12 weeks at the accelerated temperature of 40° C., as well as 24 weeks at the recommended storage of 2-8° C. and at the accelerated temperature of 25° C.

Abstract

The invention relates to the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions of etanercept. The invention also relates to methods of removing buffer and of formulating pharmaceutical compositions of etanercept.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 411,458 filed Oct. 21, 2016, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions of etanercept. The invention also relates to methods of removing buffer and of formulating pharmaceutical compositions of etanercept.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Formulation of a protein drug can present many challenges for the pharmaceutical scientist. A formulation must be found that stabilizes the protein drug and makes it resistant to degradation by proteolysis, aggregation, misfolding, etc. Especially for engineered proteins that differ in substantial respects to known proteins, finding appropriate stability conditions can be challenging. It is also desirable to have the protein drug be in a format that is convenient for the patient. Desired properties include stability at ...
