[Background technology]

[0003] Higher concentrations of therapeutic proteins in drug formulations can cause problems. For example, formulations with high concentrations of protein can lead to aggregation resulting in the formation of high molecular weight (HMW) species. HMW species can be a concern in some protein formulations. Aggregation can also potentially affect the subcutaneous bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of therapeutic proteins, and can lead to loss of biological activity and increased immunogenicity of the protein. High concentration protein formulations can result in high viscosity, which can adversely affect the loading and administration of drug products.

[0004] Thus, there is a need in the art for highly concentrated formulations of antibodies that have low viscosity, high stability and low levels of aggregation. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a graph of the % HMW species formed in a given antibody formulation with a given target antibody concentration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The present disclosure provides liquid compositions containing high concentrations of antibodies, e.g., monoclonal antibodies. Collectively, antibodies form a family of plasma proteins known as immunoglobulins and contain immunoglobulin domains. (Janeway et al., Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease, 4 thed., Elsevier Science Ltd. / Garland Publishing, 1999). As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a protein having the conventional immunoglobulin type, including heavy and light chains, and including variable and constant regions. For example, an antibody may be an IgG, which is a "Y-shaped" structure with two pairs of identical polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" chain (usually having a molecular weight of about 25 kDa) and one "heavy" chain (usually having a molecular weight of about 50-70 kDa). An antibody has a variable region and a constant region. In the IgG type, the variable region is generally about 100-110 or more amino acids, includes three complementarity determining regions (CDRs), and is primarily responsible for antigen recognition and is substantially different from other antibodies that bind to different antigens. The constant region allows the antibody to recruit cells and molecules of the immune system. The variable region is made up of the N-terminal region of each light chain and heavy chain, while the constant region is made up of the C-terminal portion of each heavy chain and light chain (Janeway et al., "Structure of the Antibody Molecule and the Immunoglobulin Genes", Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease, 4 th ed.Elsevier Science Ltd. / Garland Publishing, (1999)).

[0014] The general structure and properties of antibody CDRs have been described in the art. Briefly, in the antibody scaffold, CDRs are embedded within frameworks in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, where they constitute the regions largely involved in antigen binding and recognition. A variable region usually comprises at least three heavy or light chain CDRs (Kabat et al., 1991, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Public Health Service NIH, Bethesda, Md.; see also Chothia and Lesk, 1987, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al., 1989, Nature 342:877-883), which are located within framework regions (referred to as framework regions 1-4, FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR4 by Kabat et al., 1991; see also Chothia and Lesk, 1987, supra).

[0015] The antibody may include any constant region known in the art. Human light chains are classified as kappa and lambda light chains. Heavy chains are classified as mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon, and the antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. IgG has several subclasses, including but not limited to IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. IgM has subclasses, including but not limited to IgM1 and IgM2. The embodiments of the present disclosure include all such classes or isotypes of antibodies. The light chain constant region may be, for example, a kappa- or lambda-type light chain constant region, such as a human kappa- or lambda-type light chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region may be, for example, an alpha-, delta-, epsilon-, gamma-, or mu-type heavy chain constant region, such as a human alpha-, human delta-, human epsilon-, human gamma-, or human mu-type heavy chain constant region. Thus, in exemplary embodiments, the antibody is of the isotype IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG or IgM, including any one of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4.

[0016] The antibody may be a monoclonal antibody in a representative example. Thus, the present disclosure provides a liquid composition comprising a monoclonal antibody. Alternatively, the liquid composition may be a polyclonal antibody composition. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a sequence substantially similar to a naturally occurring antibody produced by a mammal, such as a mouse, rabbit, goat, horse, chicken, hamster, human, etc. In this respect, the antibody may be considered a mammalian antibody, such as a mouse antibody, rabbit antibody, goat antibody, horse antibody, chicken antibody, hamster antibody, human antibody, etc. In certain aspects, the antibody is a human antibody. In certain aspects, the antibody is a chimeric antibody or a humanized antibody. The term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody that contains domains from two or more different antibodies. A chimeric antibody may, for example, contain a constant domain from one species and a variable domain from a second species, or more commonly, may contain stretches of amino acid sequences from at least two species. A chimeric antibody may also contain domains from two or more different antibodies within the same species. The term "humanized" when used in reference to an antibody refers to an antibody having at least the CDR regions from a non-human source that have been modified to have a structure and immune function more similar to a true human antibody than the original source antibody. For example, humanization can include grafting CDRs from a non-human antibody, such as a mouse antibody, onto a human antibody. Humanization can also include selecting amino acid substitutions to make the non-human sequence more similar to the human sequence.

[0017] In an exemplary embodiment, the antibody comprises: (a) a heavy chain (HC) complementarity determining region (CDR) 1 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4 amino acids) or has at least 90% or about 90% sequence identity; (b) a HC CDR2 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids or has at least 90% or about 90% sequence identity; (c) a HC CDR3 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids or has at least 90% or about 90% sequence identity; (d) a light chain (LC) CDR1 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids or has at least 90% or about 90% sequence identity; (e) a LC CDR2 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids or has at least 90% or about 90% sequence identity; (f) a LC CDR3 amino acid sequence set forth in Table A, or a variant sequence thereof that differs in only 1-4 amino acids or has at least or about 90% sequence identity; or (g) a combination of two, three, four, five, or six of any of (a)-(f).

In some embodiments, the antibody comprises all three such CDRs.

In representative examples, the antibody comprises HC CDR1, HC CDR2, HC CDR3, LC CDR1, LC CDR2 and LC CDR3 of SEQ ID NO: 1-6, respectively.In various examples, the antibody comprises HC CDR1, HC CDR2, HC CDR3, LC CDR1, LC CDR2, and LC CDR3 of SEQ ID NOs: 11-16, respectively.

In an exemplary embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation has an osmolality of less than about 450 mOsm / kg (e.g., less than about 400 mOsm / kg).

[0034] stability The liquid compositions of the present disclosure exhibit high stability as evidenced by low % initial HMW species as determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). As used herein, "initial HMW species" refers to HMW species formed upon combining the components of the liquid composition with the antibody and / or immediately after the components are combined with the antibody. Initial HMW species refers to HMW species that are first formed and / or at storage time 0. In exemplary embodiments, less than 5% (e.g., less than or about 4%, less than or about 3%, less than or about 2%, less than or about 1%) of initial HMW species is detected by SEC.

[0035] In various examples, the liquid compositions of the present disclosure are storage stable (or storage stable) as indicated by a low amount of aggregates and / or a low rate of aggregate formation after storage. As described herein, the stability of such liquid compositions is indicated by a low amount of HMWS and / or a low rate of HMWS formation after storage for various times and at various temperatures. In general, a more stable liquid composition is associated with a lower amount of HMWS, a lower rate of HMWS formation, and / or a higher main peak of antibody at higher storage temperatures compared to lower temperatures. As used herein, the term "high molecular weight species" or "HMWS" refers to higher order aggregates of the antibody of the present formulation as well as lower order aggregates of the antibody of the present formulation. Lower order aggregates include, for example, dimeric species. The amount and rate of formation of aggregates can be measured or monitored by techniques such as, for example, SE-UHPLC. SE-UHPLC chromatograms of the antibodies, in some instances, show a peak at around 2.2-2.8 minutes that corresponds to the amount of HMWS in the liquid composition and a peak at around 3 minutes that reflects the amount of intact, non-aggregated form of the antibody. Storage at 37°C, as compared to storage at 4°C, allows for acceleration of stability assays, allowing the stability of a particular formulation to be determined over a shorter period of time compared to storage periods at 4°C. For example, storage at 37°C for 1, 2 or 3 months may be indicative or predictive of 36 months of storage at 4°C.

[0036] In one type of embodiment, the storage-stable liquid composition as described herein exhibits a reduced magnitude or rate of HMWS formation after 3 months of storage at 37° C. when compared to an equivalent concentration control formulation consisting of acetate and sucrose as excipients.

[0037] In another type of embodiment, the storage-stable liquid composition comprising arginine glutamate or proline as described herein exhibits a reduced magnitude of HMWS formation after 1 month of storage at 37° C., when compared to a comparable control formulation without arginine glutamate or proline. For example, the extent of formation may be reduced, such that the amount of HMWS in % by SE-UPHLC is reduced by at least about 0.1%, or about 0.2%, or about 0.3%, or about 0.4%, or about 0.5%, or about 0.6%, or about 0.7%, for example, in the range of about 0.1% to about 2%, or about 0.1% to about 1%, compared to the control formulation after 1 month of storage at 37° C.

[0038] In another type of embodiment, a storage-stable liquid composition as described herein has a low amount of HMWS by SE-UHPLC after 1 month of storage at 37° C.

[0059] disease In various embodiments, the disease is celiac disease, which causes debilitating symptoms, including intestinal mucosal damage and potentially serious medical complications.

[0060] Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune disease triggered by gluten consumption in genetically susceptible individuals (Green and Cellier, 2007). Currently, approximately 1% of the United States (US) and European Union (EU) populations suffer from celiac disease, although only 10-20% of patients are diagnosed. Celiac disease was the first autoimmune disease with an antigen identified: gluten, a major protein present in some of the most common cereals (e.g., wheat, barley, rye). Modern diets are becoming increasingly rich in gluten, and gluten is also used as an additive in processed foods, cosmetics, and oral medications. Gluten is the second most common food ingredient after sugar, and is present in up to 80% of foods in some countries. The ubiquitous presence of gluten makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to completely avoid. As little as 50 mg / day (a normal diet contains >10 g / day) triggers T cell activation in the small intestine, causing intestinal mucosal damage (Catassi et al., 2007). For this reason, more than 50% of celiac disease patients on a glutted-free diet (GFD) continue to have active disease and intestinal immune activation and mucosal atrophy (Lee et al., 2003; Cranney et al., 2007; Hopper et al., 2007; Midhagen et al., 2003). Patients who continue to have symptoms despite attempts to maintain a GFD are considered to have refractory celiac disease (NRCD). NRCD is defined as "persistent symptoms, signs, or laboratory abnormalities typical of celiac disease despite 6-12 months of a gluten-free diet" (Rubio-Tapia et al., 2013). Patient advocates and experts agree that alternative treatment options, either independent of or in combination with a GFD, are urgently needed to improve the quality of life for people with celiac disease.

[0061] A rare but specific complication of persistent exposure to gluten in celiac disease is the development of refractory celiac disease (RCD), which affects approximately 1% of celiac disease patients (Lebwohl et al., 2013). RCD is characterized by severe intestinal mucosal atrophy and gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of gluten consumption and in the presence of abnormal IELs in the small intestine (Verbeek et al., 2008, vanWanrooij et al., 2014). RCD patients can be further classified according to the proportion and characteristics of abnormal IELs. Patients with a low proportion of abnormal IELs, defined as less than 20% of total IELs (less than 20 IELs per 100 epithelial cells) as determined by flow cytometry, are referred to as type I RCD (RCD-I). These abnormal IELs are generally polyclonal, and RCD-I patients are not at increased risk for developing overt extra epithelial lymphoma (i.e., enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma [EATL]) and have typical 5-year survival rates (vanWanrooij et al., 2014). To treat RCD-I, corticosteroids (topical or systemic), azathioprine, purinesol, anti-TNF agents or cladribine can be used with clinical and histological improvement (Brar et al., 2007; Goerres et al., 2003). Figure 3 shows the pathophysiology of celiac disease and refractory celiac disease as described by Schuppan et al. When the percentage of abnormal IELs reaches or exceeds 20%, the patient is diagnosed with RCD type II (RCD-II). In RCD-II, IELs are typically monoclonal and the risk of developing EATL increases dramatically to over 50% (Nijeboer et al., 2015). Abnormal IELs proliferate in the absence of gluten due to the accumulation of anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and therefore the term "refractory" indicates that the disease, non-Hodgkin's slow-growing intraepithelial lymphoma, does not respond to even the strictest GFD and therefore does not appear to be gluten-dependent.

[0062] Thus, in various embodiments, the disease is refractory celiac disease or refractory celiac disease. In other embodiments, the disease is enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Each of the foregoing is described in WO 2017 / 217985, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

In an exemplary embodiment, the subject has a tumor (e.g., a solid tumor, a hematological malignancy, or a lymphatic malignancy), and the pharmaceutical composition is administered to the subject in an amount effective to treat the tumor of the subject. In other exemplary embodiments, the tumor is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), head and neck cancer, renal cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, lymphoma, or leukemia, and the pharmaceutical composition is administered to the subject in an amount effective to treat the tumor of the subject. In various examples, the disease is one described in WO 2019 / 140196 or WO 2015 / 031667, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0064] In representative examples, the disclosed methods of treating disease include treating or preventing a skeletal-related event (SRE), treating or preventing giant cell tumor of bone, treating or preventing hypercalcemia of malignancy, treating or preventing osteoporosis, or increasing bone mass in a subject. Optionally, treatments provided by the disclosure include: (a) treatment or prevention of SREs in subjects with bone metastases from solid tumors; (b) treatment or prevention of SREs in subjects who are adults or skeletally mature young people with giant cell tumors of bone that are unresectable or where surgical resection would result in significant morbidity; (c) treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancies that are refractory to bisphosphonate therapy in subjects; (d) treatment or prevention of SREs in subjects with multiple myeloma or with bone metastases from solid tumors; (e) treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture; (f) treatment to increase bone mass in women at high risk of fracture receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer; (g) treatment to increase bone mass in men at high risk of fracture receiving androgen deprivation therapy for non-metastatic prostate cancer; (h) treatment to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture; (i) treatment with calcium or vitamin D.

[0067] The following examples are presented merely to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0068] Example 1 This example demonstrates an exemplary method for producing a highly concentrated antibody formulation.

[0069] A series of studies was conducted to develop an isotonic, low viscosity formulation containing high concentrations of Antibody 1, an anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody. The formulation was designed to exhibit adequate stability as characterized by initial high molecular weight (HMW) species formation, as well as low HMW species formation upon storage.

[0070] Part A In the first study (Part A), eight formulations were prepared by diafiltration of an initial solution containing antibody 1, acetate, and sucrose against diafiltration (DF) buffer. A total of 10 buffer exchanges were performed to achieve complete buffer exchange. The buffer-exchanged antibody 1 solution was concentrated to approximately 200 mg / mL of antibody 1 using an ultrafiltration / diafiltration (UF / DF) system. The antibody 1 solution was then diluted using the same DF buffer used in the buffer exchange step to achieve a target concentration of 165 mg / mL. Polysorbate 80 (PS80) was then added to a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v). Table 1 summarizes the DF buffer used to make each formulation and the final pH of each formulation. Osmolality for each formulation was measured and found to be in the range of approximately 284 mOsm / kg to approximately 332 mOsm / kg.

[0071] [Table 2]

[0072] Stability testing: Samples of each formulation were filled into containers, sealed, and then stored at 2-8°C for 0, 4, 13, or 26 weeks, or at 30°C for 1, 2, 4, 13, or 26 weeks. The initial formation of HMW species was measured and reported as t=0. Samples were tested via size-exclusion ultra-performance liquid chromatography (SE-UHPLC). The percentage of high molecular weight (HMW) species for the sample was reported, which reflected the amount of HMW species formed after the storage period. The results of the stability assays are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The percent HMW species is shown for each sample. A lower % HMW indicated greater stability for the formulation.

[0073] [Table 3]

[0074] [Table 4]

[0075] viscosity Samples of each formulation were tested for viscosity using a viscometer at 5° C., 15° C., 20° C., 25° C., and 30° C. Viscosity values ​​reported are 1000 s -1 Figure 4 provides the results of this assay.

[0076] [Table 5]

[0077] Freeze-thaw stability To test the stability of the formulations after freeze-thaw cycles, the formulations were filled into vials and frozen at -30°C. The vials were then subjected to five freeze / thaw (F / T) cycles, freezing at (-30)°C and thawing statically at room temperature. Each container was visually inspected for color and the presence of precipitate. After five F / T cycles, most formulations appeared clear and free of visible particles, except for formulation #2, which showed many small translucent crystalline particles, and formulation #4, which showed a few small fibrous particles.

[0078] Discussion of the results: Part A Formulation No. 5 containing arginine glutamate showed very high stability as it had the lowest amount of initial HMW species at both 30° C. and 2-8° C., and the lowest amount of HMW species formed after 26 weeks of storage at each temperature (Tables 2 and 3). As shown in Table 4, Formulation No. 5 containing arginine glutamate showed the lowest viscosity among all over the temperature range (5° C. to 25° C.).

[0079] Like formulation #5, formulation #2 with NAR and proline showed very high stability after 26 weeks of storage at 30° C. However, as discussed above, this formulation was observed to have a high amount of precipitate and high degree of turbidity upon freeze-thaw cycles. Therefore, this formulation was one that was not selected for further testing.

[0080] Formulation 3, which contained proline (no NAR), also had a lower % HMW after 26 weeks of storage. Formulation 3 was also one of the formulations that exhibited lower viscosity over the temperature range.

[0081] Part B In a second study (Part B), seven formulations of Antibody 1 were prepared essentially as described above. This study tested two target concentrations of Antibody 1 (150 mg / mL and 165 mg / mL) and two pHs (4.7 and 5.2). PS80 was added to a final concentration of 0.01% to all formulations except for formulation 5b, where the final PS80 concentration was 0.005% (w / v). Table 5 summarizes the DF buffer used to make each formulation. Osmolality for each formulation was measured and found to be in the range of about 280 mOsm / kg to about 331 mOsm / kg.

[0082] [Table 6]

[0083] The stability of each formulation was tested essentially as described in Part A, while the viscosity was adjusted to 50,800 s to mimic the shear rate associated with manual extrusion of PFS. -1 The viscosity was also tested at 5° C. and 25° C. for two antibody 1 concentrations (150 mg / mL and 165 mg / mL). The stability was also tested at 40° C. during storage in this study (Part B). The viscosity was further tested at 5° C. and 25° C. for two antibody 1 concentrations (150 mg / mL and 165 mg / mL). The stability assay results are reported in Tables 6, 7, and 8, and the viscosity results are shown in Table 9.

[0084] [Table 7]

[0085] [Table 8]

[0086] [Table 9]

[0087] [Table 10]

[0088] Discussion of Results: Part B As shown in Tables 6-8, compared to formulations 1b and 2b containing acetate and sucrose, formulations 2b-5b containing arginine glutamate and formulation 6b containing proline were found to have lower % HMW species after 26 weeks of storage at 2-8°C or 30°C or after 13 weeks of storage at 40°C. Formulations 3b and 4b, each containing arginine glutamate and differing only in pH, performed particularly well among all the formulations tested. As shown in Table 9, formulations 2b-5b containing arginine glutamate and formulations 6b and 7b containing proline showed lower viscosities compared to formulations 1b and 2b. Formulation 6b showed the lowest viscosity at both antibody concentrations and both temperatures. Interestingly, the performance of arginine glutamate did not appear to be dependent on acetate, suggesting that glutamate may function dually as both a counterion to arginine and as a buffering agent.

[0089] conclusion Taken together, these data suggest that antibody 1 at concentrations greater than 100 mg / mL, formulated with about 100 mM to about 200 mM L-arginine base and about 100 mM to about 200 mM L-glutamic acid at pH 4.7-5.2, PS80 (final concentration of 0.010% (w / v)), exhibits high stability and low viscosity as evidenced by low initial HMW species formation and low HMW species formation upon storage. It was surprising that the amounts of arginine and glutamate used in these studies led to such low viscosities (<10 cP at 25° C.) given that similar formulations described in previous studies (e.g., Borwankar et al., Ind. Eng. Chem Res. 55:11225-11234 (2016)) required significantly higher amounts of salt (e.g., 450 mM) to achieve similar viscosities. In previous studies, the viscosity of a formulation containing a similar amount of arginine glutamate was approximately 170 cP.

[0090] The high stability and low viscosity of Antibody 1 at concentrations greater than 100 mg / mL formulated with about 150 mM to about 250 mM proline and about 20 mM acetate was also surprising, given that previous studies had shown that Pro achieved acceptable levels of viscosity reduction only at unrealistically high concentrations (Hung et al., Pharm Res 35:133 (2018)).

[0091] In view of the above, formulations containing arginine glutamate or proline and acetate were selected for further testing and development of formulations containing Antibody 1 at 150 mg / mL.

[0092] Example 2 This example demonstrates that antibodies other than Antibody 1 exhibit increased stability and low viscosity when formulated with arginine base and glutamic acid.

[0093] In this study, five different antibodies were formulated at different concentrations (100 mg / mL, 150 mg / mL, and 200 mg / mL) using either a test DF buffer containing L-arginine base and L-glutamic acid or a control DF buffer containing acetate and sucrose. These formulations were prepared essentially as described in Example 1. PS80 was added after UF / DF to a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v). Antibody 1 is the same as described in Example 1. Antibody 2 is an anti-PD-1 IgG1 antibody, Antibody 3 is an anti-RANKL IgG2 antibody, Antibody 4 is an anti-GITR IgG1 antibody, and Antibody 5 is a reference IgG2 antibody that binds to a different antigen than any of Antibodies 1-4. The components of the test DF buffer used for each of the five antibodies and the five control DF buffers are summarized in Table 10.

[0094] [Table 11]

[0095] Stability was tested via SE-UHPLC after 0 weeks storage at 30° C., 2 weeks storage, and 1 week storage at 40° C., and viscosity was measured essentially as described in Example 1. A summary of the results of the stability assay for each antibody, expressed as % HMW, is provided below in Table 11 and in FIG. 1, and the results of the viscosity assay are provided in Table 12.

[0096] [Table 12]

[0097] [Table 13]

[0098] [Table 14]

[0099] As shown in Table 11, formulation of antibodies with arginine glutamate led to improved stability at an antibody concentration of 200 mg / mL compared to the control DF buffer, with effects observed across all molecules and storage temperatures. The impact of arginine glutamate formulations is to reduce initial % HMW across nearly all five mAbs at three concentrations compared to the control DF buffer.

[0100] For three of the antibodies (Antibodies 1-3), the trends were fairly consistent with respect to the %HMW reduction in Arg-Glu compared to the control DF buffer at antibody concentrations of 150 mg / mL and 100 mg / mL. Antibody 5 deviated slightly from Antibodies 1-3 at higher concentrations, but still showed lower %HMW in Arg-Glu at 30°C, but higher %HMW levels at 150 mg / mL and 100 mg / mL at 40°C. The benefit of Arg-Glu over Antibody 4 appears to be protein concentration and temperature dependent, with a reversal of the %HMW trend observed at 150 mg / mL and 100 mg / mL compared to 200 mg / mL.

[0101] As shown in Table 12, the viscosity results suggest that the Arg-Glu formulation reduces viscosity at the highest protein concentrations for most mAbs compared to the control DF buffer. The results for Antibody 1 indicate that viscosity can be maintained or reduced in the Arg-Glu formulation at slightly higher protein concentrations compared to the control DF buffer formulation.

[0102] Example 3 This example describes a formulation containing high concentrations of Antibody 1.

[0103] Further studies were conducted to develop an isotonic, low viscosity formulation containing high concentrations of Antibody 1. As in Example 1, this formulation was designed to demonstrate adequate stability, as characterized by low initial high molecular weight (HMW) species formation, as well as low HMW species formation upon storage.

[0104] Four formulations (A-D) were prepared by diafiltration of an initial solution containing Antibody 1 (100 mg / mL), acetate, and sucrose against the diafiltration (DF) buffers listed in Table 13. A total of 10 buffer exchanges (10 diavolumes) were performed to achieve complete buffer exchange. The buffer-exchanged Antibody 1 solution was then concentrated to a concentration of >150 mg / mL and then diluted to achieve a target concentration of 150 mg / mL using the same DF buffer used in diafiltration. Polysorbate 80 (PS80) was added to a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v). The target pH of each formulation was 5.0.

[0105] [Table 15]

[0106] The formulations were evaluated for stability, viscosity, and other physical characteristics essentially as described in Example 1. Osmolality for each formulation was measured and found to be in the range of about 275 mOsm / kg to about 330 mOsm / kg. Viscosity was tested at 150 mg / mL and 165 mg / mL at 5° C. and 25° C. The goal of a viscosity of <10 cP at 25° C. was met by all formulations except for Formulation A at 165 mg / mL. A summary of the viscosity results is provided in Table 14.

[0107] [Table 16]

[0108] As shown in Table 14, formulations B through D met the viscosity targets at both concentrations (150 mg / mL and 165 mg / mL).

[0109] The stability of the formulations was evaluated by measuring HMWS levels via SE-UHPLC before and after 13 weeks of storage at -30°C or before and after three freeze-thaw (F / T) cycles (freezing temperature: -30°C; thawing temperature: room temperature) essentially as described in Example 1. All formulations demonstrated stability as evidenced by a <0.5% increase in HMWS after 13 weeks of storage or F / T cycles. Formulations A, B, and D demonstrated the greatest stability as only a 0.2% increase in HMWS was observed after 13 weeks of storage or F / T cycles. As liquids, formulations B and C demonstrated the strongest stability profile across multiple assays, including SEC, CEX, CE, and HIAC. Subvisible particle analysis performed by HIAC revealed that formulations B and C were essentially particle-free. Formulation B had only 416 particles (>10 μm in size) at t=0 and only 64 particles at t=13 weeks. Formulation C had only 208 particles (>10 μm in size) at t=0 and only 526 particles at t=13 weeks.

[0110] In summary, all formulations showed high stability, while formulation B met all set goals for stability and viscosity. Formulation C also showed advantages over other formulations, including high stability, low viscosity, and low subvisible particle count.

[0111] Example 4 This example demonstrates the suitability of the formulations of the present disclosure for long term storage stability.

[0112] Samples of control and test formulations containing one of antibodies 1-5 described in Example 2 at 100, 150 or 200 mg / mL were stored at -30°C or 5°C for 59 weeks. The formulations were prepared as described in Example 2 essentially as described in Example 1. The components of the test DF buffer and the five control DF buffers are summarized in Table 10. PS80 was added after UF / DF to achieve a final concentration of 0.01% (w / v). The storage stability of each formulation was measured essentially as described in Example 1. A summary of the results for each antibody expressed as % HMW is provided below in Table 15.

[0113] [Table 17]

[0114] These results show that the test formulations containing L-arginine base and L-glutamic acid had a lower starting HMW by SEC at t=0 compared to the control formulation lacking L-arginine base and L-glutamic acid, and maintained a lower amount of HMW even after 59 weeks at both storage temperatures (-30° C. and 5° C.). These data support the feasibility of long shelf life for the antibody formulations, for example, 2+ years at -30° C. or 2+ years at 2° C. to 8° C.
