Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an anti-PD1 antibody pharmaceutical composition comprising a citrate buffer, one or more amino acids other than histidine, and a surfactant. [Background technology]

[0002] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a cell surface protein that acts as an immune checkpoint and prevents autoimmune diseases by suppressing T cell inflammatory activity. PD-1 binds to two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. PD-L1 overexpression has been found in various types of cancer, and it has been found that inhibition of the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 can enhance T cell responses, thereby mediating antitumor activity.

[0003] Several antibodies have been developed that target either PD-1 or PD-L1. Pembrolizumab, marketed under the trade name Keytruda®, is a humanized IgG4 antibody that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1. It is currently approved for the treatment of several types of cancer, including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, bladder cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Nivolumab, marketed under the trade name Opdivo®, is a fully human IgG4 antibody that binds to PD-1 and blocks its interaction with PD-L1. It is currently approved for the treatment of melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.

[0004] US Patent No. 5,993,336 and US Patent No. 5,993,336 disclose liquid and lyophilized formulations of pembrolizumab containing a histidine buffer, polysorbate 80 and sucrose. Patent Document 3 discloses an anti-PD1 antibody formulation containing sodium acetate, α,α-trehalose dihydrate and polysorbate 20, having a pH of 5.2.

[0005] Patent Document 4 describes a pharmaceutical formulation containing an anti-PD1 antibody, citrate, histidine, mannitol, sodium chloride, edetate, and polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80, and having a pH of 5.5 to 6.5.

[0006] Patent Document 5 discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing an anti-PD1 antibody, histidine, sucrose, proline and polysorbate 80, having a pH of 6.0. Patent document 6 describes an anti-PD1 antibody formulation containing a buffer, a stabilizer, a non-ionic surfactant and an antioxidant.

[0007] Patent document 7 discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing an anti-PD1 antibody, histidine, sucrose, polysorbate 20 and EDTA, having a pH of 6.5. Patent Document 8 describes a pharmaceutical composition containing an anti-PD1 antibody, a disaccharide, a buffer, a chelating agent, and a polysorbate, and having a pH of 4.5 to 5.5.

[0008] Patent document 9 describes a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-PD1 antibody, a buffer, a stabilizer, a surfactant and an antioxidant. Patent Document 10 discloses a buffer-free pharmaceutical formulation of an anti-PD1 antibody.

[0009] Patent document 11 describes a liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-PD1 antibody, a histidine or citrate buffer, a sugar or sugar alcohol, and a non-ionic surfactant. Nonetheless, there remains a need for stable anti-PD1 antibody formulations that are safe for administration to human patients. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The present invention, as illustratively described below, may suitably be practiced in the absence of any element or elements, limitation or limitations not specifically disclosed herein. The present invention will be described in terms of particular embodiments but the invention is not limited thereto but only by the claims.

[0029] When the term "comprising" is used in the present specification and claims, it does not exclude other elements. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "consisting of" is considered to be a preferred embodiment of the term "comprising" and excludes the presence of other elements. Hereinafter, when a group is defined to comprise at least a certain number of embodiments, this should be understood to also disclose a group that preferably consists of only these embodiments.

[0030] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "obtained" is considered to be a preferred embodiment of the term "obtainable". Below, if for example a cell or organism is defined as obtainable by a particular method, this should be understood to also disclose the cell or organism obtained by this method.

[0031] Where an indefinite or definite article is used when referring to a singular noun such as "a", "an" or "the", this includes a plural of that noun unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0032] The term "pharmaceutical composition" as used herein refers to any composition containing a chemical or biological substance or active ingredient, which is intended for use in the medical cure, treatment, or prevention of disease, and is in a form such that the active ingredient is effective. In particular, a pharmaceutical composition does not contain excipients that are unacceptably toxic to the subject to which the composition is administered. The pharmaceutical composition is sterile, i.e., aseptic, and free of all living microorganisms and their spores. The pharmaceutical composition used in the present invention is liquid and stable.

[0033] In the "liquid composition", the pharma- ceutically active agent, such as an anti-PD1 antibody, can be combined with various excipients to ensure the active drug is stable after storage. In one embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical composition used in the present invention is not lyophilized, i.e., the preparation method does not include a lyophilization step, and the composition is not lyophilized for storage. The liquid composition can be stored in a vial, an IV bag, an ampoule, a cartridge, and a prefilled or ready-to-use syringe.

[0034] In another embodiment, the liquid composition is lyophilized after its preparation. The terms "lyophilization", "lyophilized" and "freeze-dried" refer to a process in which the material to be dried is first frozen, and then the ice or freezing solvent is removed by sublimation in a vacuum environment. Preferably, the lyophilized formulation is prepared by freeze-drying the liquid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. Those skilled in the art are aware of the lyophilization protocol.

[0035] A "stable" liquid composition is one in which the anti-PD1 antibody contained therein essentially retains its physical and / or chemical stability and / or biological activity upon storage for a particular period of time. Preferably, the composition essentially retains its physical and chemical stability, as well as its biological activity upon storage. Various analytical techniques for measuring protein stability are available in the art and are reviewed, for example, in Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery, 247-301, Vincent Lee Ed, Marcel Dekker, Inc, New York, New York, Pubs (1991) and Jones, Adv Drug Delivery Rev, 1993, 10:29-90. For example, stability can be measured at a selected temperature over a selected period of time. Stability can be assessed qualitatively and / or quantitatively in a variety of different ways, including assessing aggregate formation (e.g., using size exclusion chromatography, by measuring turbidity, and / or by visual inspection), assessing charge heterogeneity using cation exchange chromatography or capillary zone electrophoresis, amino- or carboxy-terminal sequence analysis, mass spectrometry, SDS-PAGE analysis to detect aggregated or fragmented molecules, peptide map (e.g., trypsin or LYS-C) analysis, assessing antagonist biological activity or binding, and the like.

[0036] Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition is stable for at least 1-2 weeks at a temperature of about 40° C., and / or for at least 3 months, preferably 6 months or 9 months, more preferably 1 year at a temperature of about 5° C., and / or for at least 2 weeks or 1 month at a temperature of about 25° C. Furthermore, the formulation is preferably stable after freezing the formulation (e.g., to −80° C.) and thawing at 25° C., e.g., after 1, 2, 3 or 4 cycles of freezing and thawing, as described in the Examples herein.

[0037] For example, in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the percentage of high molecular weight species of anti-PD1 antibody relative to the total amount of anti-PD1 antibody as measured by size exclusion chromatography is less than 10%, preferably less than 5%, more preferably less than 3%, and most preferably less than 2% after storage for 2 weeks at a temperature of about 40°C.

[0038] Alternatively, in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the percentage of high molecular weight species of anti-PD1 antibody relative to the total amount of anti-PD1 antibody as measured by size exclusion chromatography is less than 10%, preferably less than 5%, more preferably less than 3%, and most preferably less than 2% after storage at a temperature of about 5° C. for one month.

[0039] Alternatively, in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the percentage of high molecular weight species of anti-PD1 antibody relative to the total amount of anti-PD1 antibody as measured by size exclusion chromatography is 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, more preferably 3% or less, and most preferably 2% or less after storage at a temperature of about 5° C. for 3 months, 6 months, or 9 months.

[0040] Furthermore, in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the percentage of glycosylated species of anti-PD1 antibody relative to the total amount of anti-PD1 antibody as measured by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) is 2.3% or less, preferably 2.0% or less, and more preferably 1.8% or less after storage at a temperature of about 40° C. for 1 month.

A "non-ionic surfactant" does not have a charged group at its head. The formation of insoluble particles during freeze / thaw cycles of antibody-containing compositions can be significantly inhibited by the addition of surfactants. Examples of "nonionic surfactants" include, for example, polyoxyethylene glycol alkyl ethers, such as octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether, pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether; polyoxypropylene glycol alkyl ethers; glucoside alkyl ethers, such as decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, octyl glucoside; polyoxyethylene glycol octylphenol ethers, such as Triton X-100; polyoxyethylene glycol alkylphenol ethers, such as nonoxynol-9; glycerol alkyl esters, such as glyceryl laurate; polyoxyethylene glycol sorbitan alkyl esters, such as polysorbate; sorbitan alkyl esters, such as span; cocamide MEA, cocamide DEA, dodecyl dimethylamine oxide; block copolymers of polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol, such as poloxamer; and polyethoxylated tallow amine (POEA).

[0075] The term "antibody" or "immunoglobulin" is used herein in the broadest sense and includes full length antibodies, genetically engineered antibodies, recombinant antibodies, multivalent antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, fully human antibodies, and fragments of such antibodies so long as they remain functional and exhibit the desired biological activity. The "biological activity" of an antibody refers to the ability of the antibody to bind an antigen and produce a biological response that can be measured in vitro or in vivo.

[0076] A full length antibody comprises an antigen-binding variable region of a light chain (VL) and a heavy chain (VH), a light chain constant region (CL) and heavy chain constant domains CH1, CH2 and CH3. The term "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" is used herein in the broadest sense and includes a portion of a full-length antibody, preferably including the antigen-binding or variable region thereof. Antibody fragments retain the original specificity of the parent immunoglobulin. Examples of antibody fragments include, for example, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments, diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules, and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragment(s).

[0077] A "monoclonal antibody" is an antibody that is specific for a single epitope on an antigen, i.e., an antibody directed against a single determinant on the antigen. Methods for producing monoclonal antibodies are known to those skilled in the art.

[0078] The term "recombinant antibody" refers to any antibody prepared, expressed, produced or isolated by recombinant means, e.g., an antibody isolated from a transgenic host cell, e.g., an NS0 or CHO cell, or from an animal transgenic for an immunoglobulin gene, or an antibody expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell, e.g., an SP2 / 0 mouse myeloma cell.

[0079] "Humanized antibodies" are human antibodies whose antigen-binding portions (CDRs) are derived from a non-human species, such as mouse, and have different specificity compared to the parent immunoglobulin. The CDR protein sequences can be modified to increase their similarity to antibody variants naturally produced in humans.

[0080] A "fully human antibody" is an antibody in which all portions of the antibody, including the antigen-binding portions (CDRs), are derived from humans. The term "anti-PD1 antibody" refers to an antibody that specifically binds to cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and inhibits the binding of PD-1 to its ligand PD-L1, and optionally inhibits the binding of PD-1 to its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. The anti-PD1 antibody thereby negates the inhibitory effect of PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction on T cells. Known anti-PD1 antibodies include, but are not limited to, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, cemiplimab, and cetrelimab.

[0550] Initially, DoE studies (including formulation numbers (1)-(32) in Table 1) were prepared and evaluated in a D-optimal design to obtain the first-order and second-order effects of the components as well as selected interactions. As single components, histidine (covering a concentration range of 0-30 mM), citrate (0-30 mM), trehalose dihydrate (0-300 mM), mannitol (0-300 mM), polysorbate 20 (0-0.2 mg / mL) and pH (5.0-6.5) were evaluated for their stabilizing effects. The center point (number (7)) was included in the study as a triplicate preparation.

[0551] A second DoE study (including formulation numbers (33)-(55) in Table 1) was prepared and evaluated in a D-optimal design to obtain the first-order and second-order effects of the components as well as selected interactions. As single components, lysine HCl (covering a concentration range of 0-150 mM), arginine HCl (0-150 mM), proline (0-100 mM), glycine (0-75 mM) and glycerol (0-200 mM) were evaluated for their stabilizing effects. The core component buffer (10 mM citrate, pH 5.5) and 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 20 were kept constant in all formulations. The center point (number (39)) was included in the study as a duplicate preparation.

[0552] Using 25 mg / mL pembrolizumab as starting material, 57 formulations listed in Table 1 were prepared by three-step dialysis. The dialyzed pembrolizumab was adjusted to 25 mg / mL ± 20% and sterile filtered at 0.22 μm. The formulations shown in Table 1 were first analyzed for protein concentration by UV-VIS spectroscopy at 280 nm and precise pH adjustment was performed before starting the accelerated aging stability program. Storage conditions are shown in Table 2. Briefly, samples were stored at 40°C / 75% relative humidity (RH) for up to 2 weeks. In addition, samples were subjected to two conditions of mechanical stress (overhead rotation, orbital shaking) as well as five freeze / thaw cycles (-80°C / +25°C). Pembrolizumab in Keytruda® label formulation buffer was included in the study as a control sample (57) and was directly dialyzed together with the other formulations shown in Table 1.

[0562] [Table 2]

[0563] Samples were analyzed by size-exclusion chromatography (SE-HPLC) for the presence of high molecular weight species (HMWS). Additionally, ion-exchange chromatography (IEX-HPLC) was used to detect modifications that result in charge heterogeneity.

[0564] 2. Analysis of Protein Content by UV-VIS and Determination of pH and Osmolality All formulations prepared according to Table 1 were analyzed for their protein content as well as pH and osmolality before starting the stability study (t0). All samples met the acceptance criteria for protein content (25 mg / mL ± 20% pembrolizumab) and pH (target ± 0.2). No visible particles or color changes were detected in all samples.

[0565] 3. Analysis of high molecular weight species (HMWS) by SE-HPLC. Samples for the accelerated degradation study were diluted to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL with 20 mM histidine pH 5.5, and 5 μL was injected onto a TSKgel UP-SW3000 (Tosoh, 4.6 × 150 mm, 2 μm) column to detect high molecular weight species (HMWS) of pembrolizumab.

[0566] Proteins were eluted by isocratic elution using 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.7) containing 0.05% (v / v) sodium azide at a flow rate of 0.35 mL / min at 25° C. Eluting species were detected at a wavelength of 280 nm and displayed on a graph showing the concentration of eluting species versus time. The elution profile showed a monomeric peak with non-aggregated protein and multiple peaks of protein representing high molecular weight species (HMWS) of protein. The areas of all peaks were determined.

[0567] Table 3 summarizes the percentage of HMWS peak area relative to the total peak area of ​​the eluting species for the formulations shown in Table 1. Each sample was measured in triplicate. Table 3: Summary of HMWS determined using SE-HPLC

[0568] [Table 3-1]

[0569] [Table 3-2]

[0570] [Table 3-3]

[0571] [Table 3-4]

[0572] [Table 3-5]

[0573] After 2 weeks of storage at 40 °C, HMWS levels increased slightly to 0.8%-1.4% compared to t0 (0.7%) for all formulations tested in the design of the experimental set-up. For formulations (1)-(32), the effect of the buffer can be summarized as follows: Histidine is optimal at a molarity of 20-25 mM and a pH of 5.2-5.8.

[0574] For citrate, the optimum pH shifted slightly to lower pH values ​​(approximately pH 5.0-5.6), and for high concentrations of citrate, a slight destabilizing effect was observed at high temperatures, which decreased with decreasing citrate molarity. Thus, histidine as well as citrate (especially when used at low concentrations up to 10 mM citrate) is the optimal buffer system for pembrolizumab.

[0575] For formulations (33)-(56), citrate buffer was used as the core component. The sugar and sugar alcohol concentrations had only a small effect on the HMWS levels in formulations (1)-(32), as the formulations were robust over the range of sugar concentrations tested. Comparing formulations (33)-(56) containing amino acids and / or glycerol as stabilizing excipients, optimal conditions for pembrolizumab formulation were identified in samples (33), (36), (41), (42), and (45). Further evaluation revealed that a combination of high concentrations of arginine and / or lysine with 100 mM glycerol could achieve results comparable to the sugars and / or sugar alcohols used in formulations (1)-(32) in terms of HMWS levels. Formulation (56) containing poloxamer 188 provided results comparable to polysorbate 20 (PS20)-containing formulations and a control formulation containing PS80 (57).

[0576] All tested formulations remained stable after multiple freeze / thaw cycles except for formulations (2), (4), (19), (22), and (26), which contained high concentrations of mannitol as the only stabilizing excipient and showed a significant increase in aggregation after freezing.

[0577] The same trends as above were observed for formulations (1)-(57) after storage at 40° C. for 1 week and after mechanical stress by orbital shaking and overhead rotation.

[0578] 4. Detection of acidic and basic species by IEX-HPLC The accelerated degradation study samples were diluted with eluent A (20 mM MES, pH 6.2) to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL, and 30 μL was injected onto a MabPac SCX-10 (Thermo Scientific, 4×250 mm, 10 μm) column to detect the modification of pembrolizumab that results in charge heterogeneity. The protein was eluted by applying a salt gradient (KCl) with a mixture of mobile phase A (20 mM MES, pH 6.2) and mobile phase B (20 mM MES, 120 mM KCl, pH 6.2) at a flow rate of 1 mL / min at 40° C.

[0579] The eluted species were detected at a wavelength of 280 nm and displayed in a graph showing the concentration of the eluted species versus time. The elution profile showed a main peak and several peaks representing acidic and basic variants. The areas of all peaks were determined.

[0580] Table 4 summarizes the percentage of peak area of ​​acidic species relative to the total peak area of ​​eluting species for the formulations shown in Table 1. Each sample was measured in triplicate. Table 4: Summary of basic species determined using IEX-HPLC

[0581] [Table 4-1]

[0582] [Table 4-2]

[0583] [Table 4-3]

[0584] [Table 4-4]

[0585] After 2 weeks of storage at 40°C, the levels of acidic species increased by 19%-30% compared to t0 (17%) for the formulations tested in the design of experimental setup. For formulations (1) to (32), the effect of the buffer can be summarized as follows: histidine has a strong stabilizing effect, and for citrate, a slight destabilizing effect was observed at high temperatures, which decreased with decreasing pH. Therefore, histidine and citrate (especially at low pH) are the optimal buffer system for pembrolizumab.

[0586] For formulations (33)-(56), citrate buffer was used as the core component. Comparing formulations (33)-(56) containing amino acids and / or glycerol as stabilizing excipients, optimal conditions for pembrolizumab formulation were identified in samples (36), (38), (39), (45), (47), (48), and (54). Further evaluation revealed that in terms of acidic species levels, the combination of high concentrations of arginine and / or lysine in the citric acid-based formulations with 100 mM glycerol could achieve results comparable to the sugars and / or sugar alcohols used in the histidine-based formulations (1)-(32). Formulation (56) containing poloxamer 188 provided results comparable to the polysorbate 20-containing formulation and the control formulation containing polysorbate 80 (57).

[0587] The same trends as above were observed for formulations (1)-(57) after storage at 40° C. for 1 week, after multiple freeze / thaw cycles, and after mechanical stress via orbital shaking and overhead rotation.

[0588] In addition, for basic species, the same trends as for acidic species were observed. 5. Overview of test results Based on the results obtained using the presented method set, several excipients were identified that stabilized pembrolizumab in the liquid formulation and were superior to other excipients tested or to the reference product formulation. The formulation conditions and the influence of each factor that could have a stabilizing effect are shown in Figures 1-16.

[0589] Trehalose was found to stabilize pembrolizumab over a very wide concentration range against aggregation at high temperatures (40°C) as well as after multiple freeze / thaw cycles, whereas formulations containing mannitol showed increased levels of aggregation after freeze / thaw stress.

[0590] In addition, the combination of high concentrations (100-300 mM) of arginine and / or lysine with 100 mM glycerol is expected to have a stabilizing effect against chemical modifications such as those that lead to aggregation and charge heterogeneity of pembrolizumab. Thus, a pembrolizumab formulation that does not contain any sugar or sugar alcohol appears feasible. The other two amino acids tested (glycine and proline) had equivocal and small effects on the stability of pembrolizumab. Therefore, further development of the test formulation will focus on arginine, lysine and / or glycerol.

[0591] Histidine and low molar concentrations (5-10 mM) of citrate significantly stabilize pembrolizumab. The preferred pH of the histidine and citrate buffer was identified as pH 5.5. Citrate-containing formulations were also stable at lower pH values ​​down to pH 5.0.

[0592] The use of poloxamer 188 as a surfactant stabilized pembrolizumab formulations to the same extent as the use of polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 (control formulations), respectively.

[0593] Example 2: Formulations selected for stability testing Based on the results shown in Example 1, ten formulations were selected for testing in the short-term stability study. The same starting materials as described in Example 1 were used and the formulations were prepared by dialysis. In addition, pembrolizumab in Keytruda® labeled formulation buffer was included in the study as a control sample (11) and was directly dialyzed together with the other formulations. The ten different formulations (plus control samples) are shown in Table 5.

[0594] Table 5: Detailed information of the formulations prepared in this study (Example 2)

[0595] [Table 5-1]

[0596] [Table 5-2]

[0597] Samples are stored for up to 24 months under the conditions shown in Table 6. In addition, samples are subjected to two conditions of mechanical stress as well as five freeze / thaw cycles. Table 6: Storage stability test of pembrolizumab

[0598] [Table 6]

[0599] Protein stability is determined by size exclusion chromatography (SE-HPLC) for the presence of high molecular weight species (HMWS) and by SDS-cGE (non-reduced) for the presence of low molecular weight species (LMWS) and HMWS. Chemical modifications such as glycation, oxidation and deamidation are quantified by LC-ESI-MS and MS / MS in reduced peptide mapping. Ion exchange chromatography (IEX-HPLC) and imaging capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) are used to detect modifications that lead to charge heterogeneity. In addition, samples are analyzed for appearance, turbidity, subvisible particle content and particle size. Protein concentration of samples is determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. pH of formulations is measured only at t0.

[0600] Example 3: Formulations tested in stability studies 1. Sample Preparation Based on the results obtained in Example 1, the six best performing formulations were selected and tested.

[0601] Using 25 mg / mL pembrolizumab as the starting material, seven formulations listed in Table 5 (six alternative formulations (1)-(6) and reference formulation (7)) were prepared by three-step dialysis. Pembrolizumab in Keytruda® labeled formulation buffer was included in the study as a control sample (7) and was directly dialyzed along with the other formulations shown in Table 5. The dialyzed pembrolizumab was adjusted to 25 mg / mL ± 20% and sterile filtered at 0.22 μm using a PES membrane. The formulations shown in Table 5 were first analyzed for protein concentration by UV-VIS spectroscopy at 280 nm and precise pH adjustment was performed before initiating storage stability.

[0602] Table 7: Detailed information of the formulations prepared in this study

[0603] [Table 7]

[0604] Storage conditions are shown in Table 8. Briefly, samples were stored at 5° C. and 25° C. / 60% relative humidity (RH) for up to 3 months and at 40° C. / 75% RH for up to 1 month. Additionally, samples were subjected to two conditions of mechanical stress (overhead rotation, orbital shaking) and five freeze / thaw cycles (−80° C. / +25° C.). Sample storage continues for up to 24 months as listed in Table 8.

[0605] Table 8: Storage Conditions / Stability Program for Pembrolizumab

[0606] [Table 8]

[0607] Protein stability was determined by size exclusion chromatography (SE-HPLC) for the presence of high molecular weight species (HMWS) and by SDS-cGE (non-reduced) for the presence of low molecular weight species (LMWS) and HMWS. Chemical modifications such as glycation, oxidation and deamidation were quantified by LC-ESI-MS and MS / MS in reduced peptide mapping. Ion exchange chromatography (IEX-HPLC) and imaging capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) were used to detect modifications resulting in charge heterogeneity. In addition, samples were analyzed for appearance, turbidity, subvisible particle content and particle size. Protein concentration of samples was determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. pH of the formulations was measured at t0, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.

[0608] 2.Analysis of protein content by UV-VIS, measurement of pH, visible particles, sub-visible particles and osmolality. All prepared formulations according to Table 7 were analyzed for their protein content as well as pH and osmolality before starting the stability study (t0). All samples of formulations according to Table 7 met the acceptance criteria for protein content (25 mg / mL ± 10% pembrolizumab) and pH (target ± 0.2). No visible particles or color changes were detected in all samples.

[0609] pH was analyzed using a SevenExcellence Multiparameter system and an InLab Micro Pro-ISM pH electrode (both from Mettler Toledo). Measurements were performed at 23°C-25°C according to USP using 150 μl of solution filled in 0.5 mL vials. For protein content measurements a NanoPhotometer N120 from Implen was used, where 2 μl of sample solutions were diluted 1:10 with their relevant placebo buffers and quantified at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 1.418 l / g*cm. Background correction was performed using a wavelength of 320 nm.

[0610] During the stability program, all samples did not change in their solution pH, and all samples met the 5.5±0.2 criterion at all storage conditions, even when using citrate buffer at the lower level of 5 mM. Thus, lowering the citrate concentration sufficiently stabilized the pH over 9 months. The pH was determined in a single measurement.

[0611] Additionally, pembrolizumab concentrations were stable throughout the full stability program, with all results quantified within the acceptance criteria of 25 mg / mL ± 10% pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab concentrations were determined in duplicate.

[0612] When the different formulations were analyzed for their visual appearance, they all showed identical results during the stability study when the formulations were compared with each other for one storage condition. At t0, all samples were analyzed to be clear and transparent. After physical stresses such as freeze / thaw and shaking / rotation, all formulations were analyzed to be clear with very slight turbidity. After 9 months of incubation at 5°C and 3 months of incubation at 25°C, respectively, all formulations were inspected to be clear with slight opalescence, meeting the specifications for pembrolizumab. For visual inspection, samples were analyzed in duplicate.

[0613] A FlowCam 8100 Multi Objective from Anasysta was used to analyze particles invisible to the naked eye. These micron-sized protein aggregates and particles are an important quality attribute of therapeutic protein formulations due to their risk of enhancing immunogenic responses. The method was tuned to the following parameters: analysis efficiency: 60-70%; automatic image range: 30 fps; distance to nearest neighbor: 3 μm; flow rate: 0.150 mL / min; processing sample volume: 0.100 mL.

[0614] All formulations performed equally well after mechanical stress, freeze / thaw stress, and incubation at 5°C for 9 or 12 months, 25°C for 3 months, and 40°C for 1 month, meeting USP <788> Formulations (1) and (2) that fall within the pharmacopoeia specifications and use arginine as a stabilizer showed the lowest number of particles in the 10 μm or larger size range after 12 months of storage at 5°C, followed by a slight increase in the number of lysine-containing formulation (4) and sugar-containing formulations (2 and 7). Only a very slight increase in all particles with a size below 25 μm was observed after 1 month of storage at 40°C. Results for the other storage conditions were consistent within the method variability. All measurements were performed in duplicate to analyze subvisible particles by FlowCam.

[0615] 3. Analysis of high molecular weight species (HMWS) by SE-HPLC. Test samples were diluted with 20 mM histidine (pH 5.5) to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL, and 5 μL was injected onto a TSKgel UP-SW3000 (Tosoh, 4.6 × 150 mm, 2 μm) column to detect high molecular weight species (HMWS) of pembrolizumab.

[0616] Proteins were eluted by isocratic elution using 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.7) containing 0.05% (v / v) sodium azide at a flow rate of 0.35 mL / min at 25° C. Eluting species were detected at a wavelength of 280 nm and displayed on a graph showing the concentration of eluting species versus time. The elution profile showed a monomeric peak with non-aggregated protein and multiple peaks of protein representing high molecular weight species (HMWS) of protein. The areas of all peaks were determined.

[0617] Table 9 summarizes the percentage of HMWS peak area relative to the total peak area of ​​eluting species for the formulations shown in Table 7. Sample acquisition began after 6 months to narrow the formulation set to the most promising candidates, at which point incubation of all remaining formulations was stopped. Each sample was measured in triplicate.

[0618] Table 9: Summary of HMWS determined using SE-HPLC

[0619] [Table 9-1]

[0620] [Table 9-2]

[0621] [Table 9-3]

[0622] [Table 9-4]

[0623] After storage for up to 9 months at 5°C (target storage conditions), HMWS remained at t0 levels for all formulations tested in this stability study, and long-term storage stability at these conditions is expected. Slightly better results were achieved by using formulations (1) and (2) containing arginine as a stabilizer. After storage for up to 12 months at 5°C (target storage conditions), slightly better results were achieved by using formulations (1) and (2) containing arginine as a stabilizer, as well as formulation (4) containing lysine. After storage for up to 3 months at 25°C, HMWS levels increased slightly to 0.9% to 1.2% compared to t0 (0.8 and 0.9%, respectively). The lowest HMWS levels after storage for up to 3 months at 25°C were observed for formulations (1), (2) and (6) containing the amino acid arginine (arginine alone or in combination with lysine), followed by formulation (4) containing only lysine. Trehalose-containing formulations (3) and (5) showed a slight increase in HMWS levels after up to 3 months of storage at 25°C, but surprisingly no relevant increase in HMWS was detected at the target storage conditions. In addition, all formulations tested remained stable after multiple freeze / thaw (F / T) cycles and after mechanical stress. Overall, all formulations tested in this study showed similar or improved results compared to the benchmark formulation (7).

[0624] 4. Detection of acidic and basic species by IEX-HPLC The test sample was diluted with eluent A (20 mM MES, pH 6.2) to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL, and 30 μL was injected onto a MabPac SCX-10 (Thermo Scientific, 4×250 mm, 10 μm) column to detect the modification of pembrolizumab that results in charge heterogeneity. Proteins were eluted by applying a salt gradient (KCl) with a mixture of mobile phase A (20 mM MES, pH 6.2) and mobile phase B (20 mM MES, 120 mM KCl, pH 6.2) at a flow rate of 1 mL / min at 40° C.

[0625] The eluted species were detected at a wavelength of 280 nm and displayed in a graph showing the concentration of the eluted species versus time. The elution profile showed a main peak and several peaks representing acidic and basic variants. The areas of all peaks were determined.

[0626] Table 10 summarizes the percentage of peak area of ​​acidic species relative to the total peak area of ​​eluting species for the formulations shown in Table 7. Each sample was measured in triplicate. Table 10: Summary of basic species determined using IEX-HPLC

[0627] [Table 10-1]

[0628] [Table 10-2]

[0629] [Table 10-3]

[0630] [Table 10-4]

[0631] After storage at 5°C (target storage conditions) for up to 3 months, both acidic and basic species remained at t0 levels for all formulations tested in this stability study, indicating long-term stability. After storage at 5°C (target storage conditions) for up to 9 months, both acidic and basic species only increased slightly. After storage at 5°C (target storage conditions) for up to 12 months, both acidic and basic species remained at t0 levels for all formulations tested in this stability study, indicating long-term stability, with the lowest variability compared to t0 shown in formulations (1), (2) and (4) containing one or two amino acids (either arginine or lysine, or both arginine and lysine). After storage at 25°C for up to 3 months, acidic species levels increased slightly to 20.1% to 23.9% compared to t0 (approximately 17.5%). The lowest acidic species levels after storage were observed for formulations (1), (2), (4) and (6) containing one or two amino acids (either arginine or lysine, or both arginine and lysine). Trehalose-containing formulations (3) and (5) showed only a slight increase in acidic species levels, which is comparable to the benchmark formulation (7). In addition, all formulations tested remained stable after multiple freeze / thaw cycles and after mechanical stress.

[0632] The same trend was observed for the generation of basic species. After storage at 25°C for up to 3 months, the basic species level was slightly reduced to 23.8%-29.0% compared to t0 (30.4%-30.6%). The best results (here the highest content) of basic species level after storage were again observed for formulations (1), (2), (4) and (6) containing one or two amino acids (either arginine or lysine, or both arginine and lysine). Trehalose-containing formulations (3) and (5) showed only a slight reduction in basic species level, which is comparable to the reference formulation (7). Overall, all formulations tested in this study showed similar or better results compared to the reference formulation (7).

[0633] 5. Analysis of low molecular weight species (LMWS) by SDS-cGE (non-reducing). Capillary gel electrophoresis for quantification of LMWS was performed using the LabChip GX II Touch Protein Characterization System and Protein Express assay kit (catalog no. CLS960008) (both Perkin Elmer).

[0634] To prepare the sample denaturing solution, 5400 μl of Protein Express sample buffer from the assay kit was mixed with 300 μl of 10% LDS (lithium dodecyl sulfate dissolved in water) and 300 μl of 200 mmol / L NEM solution (N-ethylmaleimide dissolved in water). 7 μl of this denaturing solution was mixed with 2 μl of pembrolizumab-containing sample (prediluted to 2 mg / mL in water). For denaturation, the samples were incubated at 75° C. for 10 min. Then, 35 μl of water was added to each sample immediately before analysis. Analysis was performed by using the assay preset from the method "P200 Antibody Analysis" of the Perkin Elmer instrument software.

[0635] For the cGE method, separations were performed by forward injection into a neutral bare fused silica capillary (20 cm effective length, 50 μm diameter) using a Beckman Coulter PA800 plus instrument. Samples were applied to the capillary (5 kV for 20 s) followed by protein separation by applying a voltage of 15 kV for 30 min for reducing conditions and 15 kV for 40 min for non-reducing conditions. UV absorption was measured at 220 nm using a PDA detector and a 100 x 200 aperture. The capillary temperature was kept constant at 25°C for all steps. The autosampler temperature was set at 15°C. Data were evaluated in terms of peak integration using 32Karat software (Beckman Coulter). Peak areas were determined as velocity-corrected relative peak areas, taking into account the fact that in capillary electrophoresis, early peaks migrate through the detector window faster than late peaks. Sample peak integration was performed by comparison to formulation buffer or pure water blank electropherograms to identify and exclude non-protein specific peaks.

[0636] Table 11 summarizes the percentage of LMWS peak area relative to the total peak area of ​​the eluting species for the formulations shown in Table 7. Each sample was measured in triplicate. Table 11: Summary of LMWS determined using SDS-cGE (non-reducing)

[0637] [Table 11-1]

[0638] [Table 11-2]

[0639] [Table 11-3]

[0640] [Table 11-4]

[0641] After storage at 5°C (target storage conditions) for up to 3 months, LMWS increased slightly to about 0.7% compared to t0 (about 0.4%) for all formulations tested in this stability study, predicting successful long-term storage stability. Essentially the same observations were made after storage at 5°C for 9 months. After storage at 5°C (target storage conditions) for up to 12 months, LMWS increased slightly to about 0.6% to about 0.7% compared to t0 (about 0.4%) for all formulations tested in this stability study, predicting successful long-term storage stability. After storage at 25°C for up to 3 months, LMWS levels increased to about 1.1% compared to t0 (about 0.4%), but there were no significant differences between the tested formulations. In addition, all formulations remained stable after multiple freeze / thaw cycles and after mechanical stress. Overall, all formulations tested in this study showed similar very good results, comparable to the reference formulation (7).

[0642] 6. Detection of Modifications by LC-ESI-MS and -MS / MS Analysis by LC-ESI-MS and -MS / MS was used for the sequencing of pembrolizumab by peptide mapping. Several post-translational modifications (oxidation, deamidation and glycation) were quantified using several different combinations of digestion conditions followed by LC-ESI-MS and -MS / MS measurements. LC-ESI-MS and -MS / MS mass spectra were obtained using an UlTiMate® 3000 system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled to a Q Exactive Orbitrap Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Separation of peptides was performed by reversed-phase (RP) chromatography on an Accucore RP-MS LC column (2.1×100 mm, particle size 2.6 μm, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The following eluents were used: A: water with 0.1% formic acid; B: acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. A segmented gradient from 3% B to 36% B in 45 min at 30° C. with a flow rate of 0.4 mL / min was applied. MS and MS / MS spectra (generated using higher energy collision dissociation (HCD)) were recorded in positive ion mode with internal mass calibration. Datasets were searched using Protein Metrics Byonic™ against a sequence database representing pembrolizumab sequences and common contaminants (e.g., sequences of proteases used in digestion) and analyzed for asparagine / glutamine deamidation, methionine / tryptophan oxidation and glycation levels. Samples from the same stability pull points were simultaneously proteolytically digested, reduced and alkylated.

[0643] The samples shown in Table 7 were analyzed in a single measurement before and after one month of incubation at 40°C / 75% relative humidity. The pull point after one month of incubation at 40°C was chosen to evaluate trends at accelerated conditions. Accelerated conditions also occur at the target storage temperature, but at a slower rate. After three months at 5°C, modifications would likely not exceed method variability. Therefore, analysis of the later pull point is more relevant for this storage condition.

[0644] Table 12 summarizes the deamidation levels, Table 13 summarizes the oxidation levels, and Table 14 summarizes the glycation levels for the formulations shown in Table 1. Table 12: Summary of deamidation levels determined using LC-ESI-MS and -MS / MS

[0650] [Table 14-1]

[0651] [Table 14-2]

[0652] Total deamidation levels increased significantly after storage for 1 month at 40° C. The lowest deamidation content was obtained using formulations (1) and (2), both of which are based on the use of arginine. All other formulations resulted in higher levels of total deamidation after storage.

[0653] Total oxidation levels increased after one month of storage at 40° C. Slightly smaller increases were observed in the trehalose-containing formulations (3) and (5) and in the formulations using arginine without lysine, i.e., formulations (1) and (2). The highest oxidation levels were observed in the lysine-containing formulations (4) and (6) and the reference formulation (7).

[0654] Glycation levels remained within method variability after 1 month of storage at 40°C and were not significantly different between the alternative formulations. In contrast, the reference formulation using sucrose as an excipient (7) showed higher glycation levels after storage compared to all alternative formulations.

[0655] 7. Summary of test results Based on the results obtained in this stability program analyzed using the method sets shown, novel compositions were identified that are capable of stabilizing pembrolizumab in liquid formulations and are superior compared to other excipients tested or compared to the reference product formulation.

[0656] In particular, the use of arginine improved the stability of 25 mg / mL pembrolizumab. Formulations (1) and (2) containing 300 mM arginine, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80, 5 mmol / L or 10 mmol / L citric acid at pH 5.5 provided very encouraging results, especially with regard to the chemical stability of pembrolizumab. For example, IEX-HPLC showed the best stability of pembrolizumab in formulations (1) and (2) with respect to acidic and basic species, and deamidation analyzed by peptide mapping was also the lowest in formulations (1) and (2) compared to all other tested formulations. A similar effect was seen when arginine was replaced by the amino acid lysine (4) or mixed with lysine (6). Also, the formation of HMWS was lowest with formulations (1) and (2), both of which are based on the use of arginine as a stabilizer.

[0657] However, the use of trehalose in formulations (3) and (5) also yielded encouraging stability data when the drug product was stored at the target storage temperature of 2° C. to 8° C., where all relevant stability data were stable and comparable to the other test formulations, including the reference formulation. In any case, the use of the reference formulation resulted in more undesired glycation when compared to the other formulations due to the presence of sucrose.

[0658] The use of a citric acid / sodium citrate buffer system showed a slight advantage when the concentration was reduced to 5 mM, especially in combination with trehalose, and reducing the buffer concentration or buffering capacity at pH 5.5, respectively, successfully stabilized the pH during the stability program.

[0659] II. Formulation development of high-concentration pembrolizumab formulation Example 1: Sample preparation of high concentration pembrolizumab in histidine buffer The desired therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) formulation was prepared using an ultrafiltration / diafiltration (UF / DF) procedure, where pembrolizumab was transferred by UF / DF and subsequent addition of polysorbate 20 into a formulation containing 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 20 (pH 5.5) to 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / ml of pembrolizumab by the following steps: 13 grams of pembrolizumab at a concentration of 11.4 mg / mL was concentrated by UF / DF and transferred into a formulation containing 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (pH 5.5) to a target concentration of 120 mg / mL.

[0660] In this step, a Pellicon® 3 Cassette with Biomax® 30 kDa Membrane, D screen was used (Merck Millipore), yielding approximately 13 g pembrolizumab / 264 cm 2 The membrane load was 6 L / m.2 A transmembrane pressure of 1 bar was applied with a feed flow rate of 1 / min. Buffer exchange was performed within 5 diafiltration volumes using formulation buffer without polysorbate 20.

[0661] The solution, now containing 120 mg / mL pembrolizumab, was then filtered through a Sartopore 2 XLG 0.22 μm PES filter (filter area 210 cm 2 The filters were sterile filtered without prior cleaning by using a 20 mL sterile filtration machine. The final concentration of pembrolizumab was quantified to be 116.9 mg / mL, with a good process recovery of 91.6%.

[0662] The solution was then split 50:50. The first portion was diluted with 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, pH 5.5 to a final concentration of 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab in 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, pH 5.5, and polysorbate 20 was added to a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 20 in the solution.

[0663] The second portion was transferred to a Vivaspin filter (Sartorius Stedim) using a 30 kDa PES membrane, successfully increasing the concentration of pembrolizumab to 170 mg / mL. The concentration of pembrolizumab was then adjusted to 150 mg / mL by dilution with 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (pH 5.5), and then sterile filtered using a bottle-top vacuum filter (PES filter membrane area: 13.6 μm) with a step recovery of 95%. Finally, polysorbate 20 was added to the formulation to a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v).

[0664] Table 15 shows analytical results covering the different steps during the preparation of samples containing pembrolizumab concentrations of about 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / mL and the final processed samples. The processing was very gentle and smooth, with HMWS determined by SE-HPLC showing only a slight increase from 0.84% ​​HMWS to 1.10% in the 100 mg / ml pembrolizumab sample and a comparable 1.08% in the 150 mg / ml pembrolizumab sample. Other impurities such as LMWS (quantified by CE-SDS (non-reduced)), acidic and basic species (quantified by HP-CEX) were also within acceptable ranges and were not altered by the processing steps. With a good sterile filtered solution through a 0.22 μm filter, there was negligible loss of material, making pembrolizumab in the described histidine buffer a very good formulation candidate suitable for achieving high protein concentrations in a scalable manufacturing process. All methods are described in Example II.4.

[0665] Table 15: Preparation of highly concentrated pembrolizumab by UF / DF and sample characterization.

[0666] [Table 15]

[0667] Example 2: Freeze / thaw stability of pembrolizumab at concentrations of 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / mL in histidine buffer Samples produced in Example 1 and shown in Table 16 were tested for stability to freeze / thaw stress and analyzed for the presence of HMWS by SE-HPLC (method described in Example 4).

[0668] Table 16: Detailed information on the formulations used in this study

[0669] [Table 16]

[0670] For this purpose, 500 μl aliquots of both samples (a) and (b) were analyzed by SE-HPLC before and after the freezing process to below −65° C. (following the method described in Example 3).

[0671] Table 17: Summary of HMWS determined by SE-HPLC before and after the freeze / thaw process

[0672] [Table 17]

[0673] Both concentrations of pembrolizumab 100 mg / mL (a) and 150 mg / mL (b) in 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.01% polysorbate 20 (pH of solution 5.5) are stable to freeze / thaw stress. Both products can be frozen without increasing aggregation levels, which is a prerequisite for long-term storage of e.g. drug substance.

[0674] Example 3: Osmolality of pembrolizumab at concentrations of 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / mL in histidine buffer Samples (a) and (b) prepared in Example 1 and shown in Table 16 were tested for osmolality. The aim of this development is a pembrolizumab formulation suitable for both intravenous and subcutaneous administration. Formulations for the intravenous route of administration of pembrolizumab can contain a wider range of osmolality, but solutions injected subcutaneously should be isotonic in the best case. Osmolality was determined in duplicate by freezing point depression using an Osmomat 3000 from Gonotec (Germany).

[0675] Table 18: Osmolality of pembrolizumab 100 mg / mL (a) and 150 mg / mL (b) in 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.01% polysorbate 20 (pH of solution 5.5).

[0676] [Table 18]

[0677] Osmolality data indicates that both the 100 mg / ml and 150 mg / ml samples are suitable for subcutaneous administration. Example 4: Real-time and accelerated stability studies of pembrolizumab concentrations of 100 mg / ml and 150 mL in histidine buffer Stability studies were performed with samples (a) and (b) according to Table 16. Samples were stored at -70°C, 5°C (target storage temperature), 25°C / 60% relative humidity and 40°C / 75% relative humidity for up to 3 months.

[0678] Table 19: Detailed information on the stability program

[0679] [Table 19]

[0680] Protein stability was determined by size exclusion chromatography (SE-HPLC) for the presence of high molecular weight species (HMWS) and by SDS-cGE (non-reducing) for the presence of fragments (LMWS) and HMWS. Imaging capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) was used to detect modifications that result in charge heterogeneity.

[0681] Analysis of high molecular weight species (HMWS) by SE-HPLC. Protein samples for stability studies were diluted to a concentration of 2.5 mg / mL in the corresponding formulation buffer and 20 μl of the dilution was applied to a TSKgl G3000SWXL (Tosoh, 300 × 7.8 mm, 5 μm) column to detect the high molecular weight species of pembrolizumab.

[0682] The proteins were eluted by isocratic elution using 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 5.6) containing 0.25 M potassium chloride at a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min at 25° C. The eluting species were detected at a wavelength of 280 nm and displayed on a graph showing the concentration of the eluting species versus time. The elution profile showed a main peak with non-aggregated protein and multiple peaks of protein representing higher molecular weight forms of the protein. The areas of all peaks were determined.

[0683] Table 20 shows the percentage of HMWS peak area relative to the total peak area of ​​the eluting species for the stability study samples shown in Table 19. Each sample was tested in duplicate.

[0684] Table 20: Summary of HMWS determined by SE-HPLC

[0685] [Table 20]

[0686] At the target storage condition of 5°C, the formation of HMWS is very low and the product is stable against aggregate formation. This is valid for both tested concentrations of formulations containing 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab and formulations containing 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab. After 3 months of storage, HMWS increased slightly compared to the starting point, from 0.73% to 0.96% in the 100 mg / mL sample and from 0.89% to 1.13% in the 150 mg / mL sample. In addition to real-time storage, accelerated conditions also yielded very encouraging stability results, as HMWS was quantified in an acceptable range for stress storage.

[0687] When samples were stored frozen at -70°C, the 100 mg / mL sample showed no increase in HMWS after 3 months and the 150 mg / mL sample showed only a slight increase to 1.55% HMWS.

[0688] Detection of HMWS and LMWS by SDS-cGE (non-reducing) Capillary gel electrophoresis was performed based on the IgG Purity and Heterogeneity Analysis established by Beckman Coulter. For non-reduced analysis, samples were diluted to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL in SDS sample buffer pH 6.4–6.9 (10 mM phosphate citrate, 1% SDS). Then, the thiol alkylating reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; 10 mM) was added to the sample mixture to prevent fragmentation. Prior to analysis, samples were heat denatured at 70 °C for 10 min. For the cGE method, separation was performed by forward injection into a neutral bare fused silica capillary (effective length 20 cm, diameter 50 μm) using a Beckman Coulter PA800 plus instrument. After applying a voltage (5 kV, 20 s) to the capillary, protein separation was performed by applying a voltage of 15 kV for 30 min for reducing conditions and 15 kV for 40 min for non-reducing conditions. UV absorption was measured at 220 nm using a PDA detector and a 100 x 200 aperture. The capillary temperature was kept constant at 25°C for all steps. The autosampler temperature was set at 15°C. Data was evaluated for peak integration using 32Karat software (Beckman Coulter). Peak areas were determined as velocity-corrected relative peak areas, taking into account the fact that in capillary electrophoresis, early peaks migrate through the detector window faster than late peaks. Sample peak integration was performed by comparison with electropherograms of formulation buffer or pure water blanks to identify and exclude non-protein specific peaks.

[0689] The samples shown in Table 16 were incubated at 5° C. or 40° C. / 75% relative humidity for 1 month or 3 months, frozen at −70° C., and then analyzed in a single measurement. According to Table 21, both test formulations (containing pembrolizumab at 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL) were stable at the target storage temperature of 5° C. for 3 months of storage, and LMWS showed only a slight increase during this period, suggesting long-term stability in terms of LMWS formation as tested by SDS-cGE (non-reduced) (1.105% to 1.193% at 100 mg / mL; 1.116% to 1.170% at 150 mg / mL). Negligible HMWS was detected in both formulations during this incubation period (0.090% to 0.151% at 100 mg / mL; 0.139% to 0.166% at 150 mg / mL). Additionally, no or very little LMWS or HMWS was formed when stored frozen at −70° C.

[0690] Storage at higher temperatures (1 month at 40°C / 75% RH) resulted in slightly increased values ​​as expected for storage at accelerated conditions, with both test formulations containing LMWS and slightly increased HMWS to very similar extents.

[0691] Table 21: Summary of LMWS and HMWS determined by SDS-cGE (non-reducing)

[0692] [Table 21]

[0693] Detection of acidic and basic species by icIEF The goal of imaging capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) is to determine the heterogeneity of protein isoelectric points (pI) and charge isoforms caused by post-translational modifications (PTMs). The power of icIEF lies in the high-resolution electropherograms that allow accurate and reproducible relative quantification of charge isoforms.

[0694] Samples were rebuffered by ultrafiltration against ultrapure water and interfering buffer components were removed from the samples using Detergent Removal Spin Columns (Pierce) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Protein concentration was determined by UV measurement (absorbance at 280 nm). Rebuffered samples were diluted to 1 g / L with ultrapure water. As indicated, 40 μg of diluted sample (corresponding to a final protein concentration of 0.2 g / L) was mixed with 2% ampholytes (0.25% pH 9-11 and 3% 8-10.5), 0.35% methylcellulose, 4 M urea and pI markers (8.18 and 9.99). Electrophoresis was performed in two steps (1500 V for 1 min and 3000 V for 10 min). Final analysis was performed using the imaged CEsystem Maurice C (ProteinSimple). Data were evaluated by pI calibration of the electropherograms using two internal pI markers and Compass for iCE software (ProteinSimple). Peak integration was performed using Empower software (Waters). Calculations using relative peak areas (e.g., for peak grouping) were performed using initial values ​​of relative peak areas to three decimal places. Initial values ​​used in calculations and calculation results are reported rounded to one decimal place.

[0695] Samples were analyzed in one measurement during a 3 month incubation at 5°C and 40°C / 75% relative humidity. According to Table 22, the 3-month data at 5° C. reveals excellent stability of pembrolizumab in both formulations (100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL) as no significant changes in acidic and basic species were quantified. Also, no additional acidic and basic species were generated when stored frozen at −70° C. During storage at 40° C. / 75% relative humidity, a shift towards acidic species was detected, as expected for storage under accelerated conditions. This shift resulted in a decrease in the main peak and basic species in both formulations.

[0697] [Table 22]

[0698] Example 5: Rheometric viscosity testing of highly concentrated samples in histidine buffer The objective of this example was to measure the dynamic viscosity of pembrolizumab in formulations with different antibody concentrations. As shown in Table 8, both concentrations of pembrolizumab in 10 mM L-histidine / histidine HCl, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.01% polysorbate 20 (pH of solution 5.5) were analyzed, as well as a 25 mg / mL sample in the same formulation prepared by diluting the 100 mg / mL sample 1:4 with the formulation.

[0699] The kinematic viscosity of the three samples was determined using a Kinexus ultra plus rheometer at 20° C. and a shear rate of 250 s-1. To analyze the viscosity, the method according to Table 23 and the cone / plate geometry were applied.

[0700] Table 23: Method settings for viscosity measurements

[0701] [Table 23]

[0702] All samples were analyzed in triplicate and the results are shown in Table 16. Formulations containing 25 mg / mL and 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab showed very low dynamic viscosities of 1.463 mPa*s and 4.646 mPa*s, respectively. The 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab formulation showed an increased but still acceptable viscosity of 17.88 mPa*s, allowing for regular DSP processes, drug substance and drug product filling, and injectability by using standard prefilled syringes for subcutaneous administration.

[0703] Table 24: Kinematic viscosity obtained for three different concentrations of pembrolizumab

[0704] [Table 24]

[0705] Example 6: Determination of break loose force and gliding force using a prefilled syringe suitable for subcutaneous injection To test the suitability of the high concentration formulations for subcutaneous administration, 1 mL of both formulations according to Table 16 (containing 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab) was dispensed into a glass syringe with a nominal volume of 1 mL containing a 29-gauge staked needle (BD Neopak 1MILL 29G TW 1 The syringe was filled with BD Hypak BSCF 1MLL W4023 Flur DAIKYO LID (catalog number 47284410) with a stopper on the vent tube.

[0706] After filling, the syringes were tested for injection force simulating injection at an injection speed of 190 mm / min by using a tensile tester (ZwickiLine 500N, ZwickRoell GmbH&Co.KG, Ulm, Germany). The use of the tensile machine allows recording of the applied force in a force-displacement plot. The injection force of the syringe is divided into the sliding yield stress and the sliding equilibrium stress. The sliding yield stress is the force required to initiate the movement of the plunger, and the sliding equilibrium stress (dynamic sliding equilibrium stress) represents the force required to maintain the continuous movement of the plunger.

[0707] The plunger rod was attached to the stopper without moving the stopper, and the system was allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before measurements were taken. Table 25: Injection force of high-concentration pembrolizumab in prefilled syringes

[0708] [Table 25]

[0709] The results (see Table 25) show that when releasing the contents, the sliding yield stress and sliding equilibrium stress (average and maximum) for both formulations containing 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab are less than 15 N. These values ​​allow for easy and safe subcutaneous injection of the highly concentrated solutions into patients.

[0710] Example 7: Pembrolizumab at concentrations of 100 mg / m and 150 mL in a citrate-based alternative formulation Pembrolizumab is transferred by UF / DF into the citrate buffered formulation shown in Table 26 and concentrated to target concentrations of pembrolizumab of 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL.

[0711] Table 26: Detailed information of the products used in Example 7

[0712] [Table 26]

[0713] After preparation, the samples are processed by freeze / thaw cycles. In addition, real-time (2°C-8°C) and accelerated stability tests (25°C, 40°C) are performed to analyze the stability of the products against the formation of HMWS by SE-HPLC. Viscosity tests of the samples are performed by using a flow meter, and functionality by simulating subcutaneous injection using a prefilled syringe is tested by a tensile machine.

[0714] Example 8: Sample preparation of high concentration pembrolizumab in citrate buffer Pembrolizumab was transferred by UF / DF into the citrate buffered formulation shown in Table 27 and concentrated to target concentrations of 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL of pembrolizumab.

[0715] Table 27: Detailed information of the products used in Example 8

[0716] [Table 27]

[0717] Pembrolizumab was transferred by UF / DF and subsequent addition of polysorbate 80 into a formulation containing 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH 5.5) to 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / ml pembrolizumab by the following steps: 15 grams of pembrolizumab at a concentration of 10.8 mg / mL was concentrated by UF / DF and transferred into a formulation containing 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (pH 5.5) to a target concentration of 120 mg / mL.

[0718] In this step, a Pellicon® 3 Cassette with Biomax® 30 kDa Membrane, D screen was used (Merck Millipore), yielding approximately 15 g pembrolizumab / 264 cm 2 The membrane load was 6 L / m. 2 A transmembrane pressure of 1 bar was applied with a feed flow rate of 1 / min. Buffer exchange was performed within 5 diafiltration volumes using formulation buffer without polysorbate 80.

[0719] The resulting solution, containing 121.6 mg / mL pembrolizumab, was then filtered through a Sartopore 2 XLG 0.22 μm PES filter (filter area 210 cm 2 The filters were sterile filtered without prior washing by using a 20 mL filtration kit. The final concentration of pembrolizumab was determined to be 119.8 mg / mL with a very good process recovery of 93.5% compared to the starting material containing 10.8 mg / mL pembrolizumab.

[0720] The solution was then split 50:50. The first portion was diluted with 10 mM L-citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (pH 5.5) to a final concentration of 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (solution pH 5.5) and polysorbate 80 was added to a final concentration of 0.2 mg / mL polysorbate 80 in the solution.

[0721] The second portion was transferred to a Vivaspin filter (Sartorius Stedim) using a 30 kDa PES membrane, successfully increasing the concentration of pembrolizumab to 161 mg / mL. The concentration of pembrolizumab was then adjusted to 150 mg / mL by dilution with 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate (pH 5.5), and then sterile filtered using a bottle-top vacuum filter (PES filter membrane area: 13.6 μm). Finally, polysorbate 80 was added to the formulation to a final concentration of 0.2 mg / mL.

[0722] Table 28 shows analytical results covering the different steps during the preparation of samples containing pembrolizumab concentrations of about 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / mL and the final processed samples. The processing was very gentle and smooth, with HMWS determined by SE-HPLC showing only a slight increase from 0.85% HMWS to 1.20% in the 100 mg / ml pembrolizumab sample and up to 1.31% in the 150 mg / ml pembrolizumab sample. Other impurities such as LMWS (quantified by CE-SDS (non-reduced)), acidic and basic species (quantified by HP-CEX) were also within acceptable ranges and were not altered by the processing steps. With a well sterile filtered solution through a 0.22 μm filter, there was negligible loss of material, making pembrolizumab in the described citrate buffer a very good formulation candidate suitable for achieving high protein concentrations in a scalable manufacturing process. All methods are described in Examples 4, 5 and 6.

[0723] Table 28: Preparation of high concentration pembrolizumab in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5) by UF / DF and sample characterization.

[0724] [Table 28]

[0725] Example 9: Osmolality of Pembrolizumab at 100 mg / mL or 150 mg / mL concentrations in citrate buffer The osmolality of samples (c) and (d) prepared in Example 8 and shown in Table 27 was determined. The aim of this development is a pembrolizumab formulation suitable for both intravenous and subcutaneous administration. Formulations for the intravenous route of administration of pembrolizumab can contain a wider range of osmolality, but solutions injected subcutaneously should be isotonic in the best case. Osmolality was determined in duplicate by freezing point depression using an Osmomat 3000 from Gonotec (Germany).

[0726] Table 29: Osmolality of pembrolizumab 100 mg / mL (c) and 150 mg / mL (d) in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5).

[0727] [Table 29]

[0728] The osmolality data presented in Table 29 indicates that both the 100 mg / ml and 150 mg / ml samples, all formulated in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5), are highly suitable for subcutaneous administration.

[0729] Example 10: Real-time and accelerated stability studies of pembrolizumab at concentrations of 100 mg / ml and 150 mL in citrate buffer Stability studies were performed with samples (c) and (d) all formulated in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5) according to Table 30. Samples were stored at -70°C, 5°C (target storage temperature), 25°C / 60% relative humidity and 40°C / 75% relative humidity for up to 3 months.

[0730] Table 30: Detailed information on the stability program

[0731] [Table 30]

[0732] Protein stability was determined by size exclusion chromatography (SE-HPLC) for the presence of high molecular weight species (HMWS) and by SDS-cGE (non-reducing) for the presence of fragments (LMWS) and HMWS. Imaging capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) was used to detect modifications that result in charge heterogeneity.

[0733] All procedures were carried out according to Example 4. Analysis of high molecular weight species (HMWS) by SE-HPLC. Table 31 shows the peak area of ​​the HMWS and main peak as a percentage of the total peak area of ​​the eluting species for the stability study samples shown in Table 30. Each sample was tested in duplicate.

[0734] Table 31: Summary of HMWS and LMWS determined by SE-HPLC

[0735] [Table 31]

[0736] At the target storage condition of 5°C, the formation of HMWS is very low and the product is stable against aggregate formation. This is valid for both tested concentrations of formulations containing 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab and formulations containing 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab. After 3 months of storage, HMWS increased slightly compared to the starting point, from 0.79% to 1.07% in the 100 mg / mL sample and from 0.80% to 1.33% in the 150 mg / mL sample. In addition to real-time storage, accelerated conditions also yielded very promising stability results, as HMWS was quantified in an acceptable range for stress storage.

[0737] When samples were stored frozen at -70°C, the 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL samples showed no increase in HMWS after 3 months, a result that is within the variability of the assay. Both products can be frozen without increasing aggregation levels, which is a prerequisite for long-term storage of, for example, drug substances.

[0738] Detection of HMWS and LMWS by SDS-cGE (non-reducing) Samples (c) and (d) shown in Table 27 were analyzed in a single measurement after incubation at 5°C or 40°C / 75% relative humidity for 1 month or 3 months, or after freezing at -70°C for 3 months.

[0739] According to Table 32, both test formulations (containing pembrolizumab at 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL) were stable at 3 months of storage at the target storage temperature of 5° C., and LMWS showed no or only a slight increase during this period, suggesting long-term stability with respect to LMWS production as tested by SDS-cGE (non-reduced) (100 mg / mL: no increase; 150 mg / mL: 1.004% to 1.144%). Slightly increasing amounts of HMWS were detected in both formulations during this incubation period (100 mg / mL: 0.068% to 0.312%; 150 mg / mL: 0.106% to 0.450%). Additionally, no or only little LMWS or HMWS was produced when stored frozen at −70° C.

[0740] Storage at higher temperatures (1 month and 3 months at 40°C / 75% RH) increased values ​​as expected for storage at accelerated conditions. Both test formulations contained LMWS and slightly increased HMWS to very similar extents.

[0743] Detection of acidic and basic species by icIEF Samples according to Table 27 were analyzed in a single measurement after incubation at 5° C. or 40° C. / 75% relative humidity for 1 month or 3 months, or after freezing at −70° C. for 3 months.

[0744] According to Table 33, the 3-month data at 5° C. reveals excellent stability of pembrolizumab in both formulations (100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL) as no significant changes in acidic and basic species were quantified. Also, no additional acidic or basic species were generated when stored frozen at −70° C. During storage at 40° C. / 75% relative humidity, a shift towards acidic species was detected, as expected for storage under accelerated conditions. This shift resulted in a decrease in the main peak and basic species in both formulations.

[0747] Example 5: Rheometric viscosity testing of highly concentrated samples in citrate buffer The purpose of this example was to measure the dynamic viscosity of pembrolizumab in formulations with different antibody concentrations. Both concentrations of pembrolizumab were analyzed in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5), as shown in Table 27.

[0748] The kinematic viscosity of the two samples was determined using a Kinexus ultra plus rheometer at 20° C. and a shear rate of 250 s-1. To analyze the viscosity, the method according to Table 34 and the cone / plate geometry were applied.

[0749] Table 34: Method settings for viscosity measurements

[0750] [Table 34]

[0751] All samples from Table 27 formulated in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / ml polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5) were analyzed in triplicate and the results are shown in Table 35. The formulation containing 100 mg / mL pembrolizumab showed a very low dynamic viscosity of 5.045 mPa*s. The 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab formulation showed an increased but still acceptable viscosity of 19.587 mPa*s, allowing for regular DSP processes, drug substance and drug product filling, and injectability by using standard prefilled syringes for subcutaneous administration.

[0754] Example 6: Quantification of sliding yield stress and sliding equilibrium stress by simulating subcutaneous injection of 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / mL polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5) To test the suitability of the high concentration formulations for subcutaneous administration, 1 mL of both formulations according to Table 27 (containing 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab in 10 mM citric acid / sodium citrate, 205 mM trehalose dihydrate, 0.2 mg / mL polysorbate 80 (pH of solution 5.5)) was dispensed into a glass syringe with a nominal volume of 1 mL containing a 29 gauge staked needle (BD Neopak 1MILL 29G TW 1 The syringe was filled with BD Hypak BSCF 1MLL W4023 Flur DAIKYO LID (catalog number 47284410) with a stopper on the vent tube.

[0755] After filling, the syringes were tested for injection force simulating injection at an injection speed of 190 mm / min by using a tensile tester (ZwickiLine 500N, ZwickRoell GmbH&Co.KG, Ulm, Germany). The use of the tensile machine allows recording of the applied force in a force-displacement plot. The injection force of the syringe is divided into the sliding yield stress and the sliding equilibrium stress. The sliding yield stress is the force required to initiate the movement of the plunger, and the sliding equilibrium stress (dynamic sliding equilibrium stress) represents the force required to maintain the continuous movement of the plunger.

[0756] The plunger rod was attached to the stopper without moving the stopper, and the system was allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before measurements were taken. Table 36: Injection force of high-concentration pembrolizumab in prefilled syringes

[0757] [Table 36]

[0758] The results (see Table 36) show that when the contents of the syringe are expelled, the sliding yield stress and sliding equilibrium stress (average and maximum) are less than 15 N for both formulations containing 100 mg / mL and 150 mg / mL pembrolizumab. These values ​​allow for easy and safe subcutaneous injection of highly concentrated solutions into patients.
