AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

High-concentration biologic formulations face challenges in controlling viscosity, which affects handling, delivery, and stability, particularly in subcutaneous administration, and existing stabilizers like sucrose or trehalose may compromise product stability when reduced to control viscosity.

Method used

A pharmaceutical composition of pembrolizumab using a combination of amino acids, such as arginine and proline, or arginine and sucrose, along with other excipients like polysorbate 80 and hyaluronidase, to optimize viscosity and stability, with pH control between 4.0-6.0.

Benefits of technology

The formulation effectively reduces viscosity and enhances stability, improving SEC and IEC purity, facilitating drug delivery and maintaining product integrity.
