Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical solutions of certain anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibodies and their uses, including use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

[0002] Numerous antibodies are being studied for their therapeutic efficacy, including, but not limited to, antibodies administered to patients (e.g., human patients) for the treatment or prevention of disease. Treatment of disease using antibody therapeutics typically involves administering a pharmaceutical formulation of the antibody to a subject in need thereof.

[0003] It is recognized in the art that formulating therapeutic antibodies into pharmaceutical formulations suitable for administration to a subject (including, but not limited to, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, and / or intraperitoneal administration) can be difficult and unpredictable, at least in part, due to the numerous properties that a pharmaceutical formulation must have to be therapeutically viable, including, but not limited to, that the formulation be suitable for manufacture, distribution, and storage.

[0004] Each individual component, its concentration, its ratio relative to other components, and / or its characteristics can affect the suitability of a formulation for manufacturing, distribution, and / or storage (among other functional characteristics essential for therapeutic function). Thus, while a particular adjustment may beneficially affect a given property of the formulation, the same adjustment may also adversely affect other properties of the formulation. As just one example, surfactants may impart beneficial properties to antibody formulations, but including a surfactant (such as polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate) in a pharmaceutical formulation of an antibody can also cause the formation of antibody aggregates, which is undesirable.

[0005] There remain few to no correlations for predicting the effect that modifying individual components (or their concentrations and / or ratios relative to other components) will have on the properties of pharmaceutical antibody formulations. Further adding to the challenge is the fact that an almost infinite number of different formulation components (e.g., buffers and excipients) and their concentrations are possible. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present inventors have identified unique and unexpected properties of the anti-N3pGlu antibodies discussed herein, including that lyophilized antibody preparations of the antibody were unsuitable for manufacture, distribution, and storage due to unacceptable levels of protein aggregation, whereas aqueous pharmaceutical solutions of the non-lyophilized antibody were surprisingly suitable for manufacture, distribution, and storage, and for maintaining the essential functional characteristics of the antibody for therapeutic use.

[0007] Lyophilization is often used to ensure the stability of protein drug products and their suitability for manufacturing, distribution, and storage, particularly for therapeutic antibodies delivered at high doses and antibodies that have exhibited challenging stability characteristics, including cloud point, aggregation, and discoloration. Lyophilization of protein drug products is generally a more stable presentation; for example, lyophilized drug products are more resistant to stresses encountered during pharmaceutical product distribution (e.g., during pharmaceutical product packaging, transportation, and / or storage). Indeed, lyophilization has been described as "the method of choice for long-term storage of monoclonal antibodies, as lyophilized antibodies are much more stable than those in solution." See Johnson, M., "Antibody Storage and Antibody Shelf Life," Mater. Methods 2012, 2:120 (available online at labome.com; DOI: / / dx.doi.org / 10.13070 / mm.en.2.120). However, when the inventors prepared lyophilized formulations of the humanized anti-N3pGlu antibodies discussed herein and subjected them to physical stresses designed to simulate a global distribution shipping environment (e.g., ISTA 3A shipping assessment, details of which are known to those of skill in the art and available through the International Safe Transit Association at ista.org), it was found that the lyophilized formulations exhibited certain undesirable properties, such as protein aggregation and lyophilization cake instability.

[0008] In an exemplary experiment, vials containing a lyophilized formulation of an anti-N3pGlu antibody discussed herein were prepared. The vials initially contained an intact lyophilized cake, with no powder present in the vial shoulder. After being subjected to physical stresses designed to simulate a global distribution shipping environment, the vials exhibited shrunken lyophilized cake and / or collapsed lyophilized cake and powder in the vial shoulder, characteristics that are considered undesirable.

[0009] In another exemplary experiment, lyophilized formulations of the anti-N3pGlu antibody discussed herein were prepared and packaged in vials, which were then subjected to physical stresses designed to simulate a global distribution shipping environment. The vials were stored at −20°C, 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C, and samples were periodically withdrawn, reconstituted with water for injection, and analyzed for subvisible particles (SVPs) by microflow imaging (MFI). Samples from vials exposed to physical stresses designed to simulate a global distribution shipping environment consistently exhibited higher levels of SVPs (particles sized ≥2 μm and 5 μm) after one month (and at all subsequent time points measured) compared with samples from vials not exposed to these physical stresses. Again, these characteristics were considered undesirable. Additionally, samples of the lyophilized formulation exhibited aggregation, a problem typically exacerbated by, for example, one or more of shipping stress, freeze-thaw stress, and solubility constraints.

[0010] The properties discussed above make lyophilized formulations undesirable for several important reasons. For example, potential changes to the drug material as a result of decreased cake stability or increased aggregation can affect the solubility of the drug, which in turn affects the accuracy and consistency of the dose delivered to the patient. Such problems pose significant challenges in delivering the intended therapeutic dose to the patient.

[0011] Thus, a need exists for pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies of the present disclosure that provide improved stability suitable for manufacturing, distribution, storage, and administration to patients for their intended therapeutic benefit. The present disclosure fulfills that need by providing pharmaceutical solutions of anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibodies with improved properties. For example, aspects of the present disclosure relate to the development of pharmaceutical solutions comprising antibodies that exhibit improved stability upon storage over time. Improved stability upon storage over time is a surprising result associated with embodiments of the disclosed pharmaceutical solutions. Indeed, the art teaches that sufficient stabilization of biomolecules often cannot be achieved in a liquid state. See Langford, A., et al., "Drying Technologies for Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Applications" (Introduction), Wiley (2020). For example, lyophilization, rather than aqueous solution formulation, was previously considered the method of choice for long-term storage of monoclonal antibodies because lyophilized antibodies are much more stable than in solution. See Johnson, M., "Antibody Storage and Antibody Shelf Life," Mater. Methods 2012, 2:120. Additionally, Langford et al. explain that in aqueous solutions, water serves as a medium for significant molecular mobility and conformational perturbations, acting as a catalyst for chemical degradation that can promote instability during storage and shipping. Thus, contrary to conventional wisdom in the art, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to pharmaceutical solutions that exhibit improved stability, including improved stability over periods of weeks, months, or years, when stored between 5° C. and 35° C., e.g., at 5° C., 25° C., or 35° C. Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to pharmaceutical solutions suitable for administration to human patients for the treatment or prevention of diseases, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease.

[0012] Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure relate to pharmaceutical solutions comprising an antibody of the present disclosure, a buffer, a tonicity agent, a surfactant, and optional excipients. Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to pharmaceutical solutions comprising an antibody of the present disclosure, a buffer, a tonicity agent, a surfactant, and optional excipients that exhibit one or more of improved antibody stability, improved solution stability, improved solution purity, improved antibody solubility, and suitability for an intended therapeutic benefit.

[0013] Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to pharmaceutical solutions comprising an antibody of the present disclosure, a buffer, a tonicity agent, a surfactant, and optional excipients, the pharmaceutical solutions being suitable as drug products for administration to patients. Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to pharmaceutical solutions comprising an antibody of the present disclosure, one or more buffers, one or more tonicity agents, one or more surfactants, and one or more optional excipients, the pharmaceutical solutions exhibiting one or more of reduced polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate hydrolysis, reduced polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate oxidation, reduced levels of free oleic acid and / or total oleic acid, and reduced levels of free radicals.

[0014] Pharmaceutical solutions of the antibodies disclosed herein are useful for treating diseases characterized by the deposition of Aβ, including, but not limited to, diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) (including, but not limited to, preclinical AD, prodromal AD, mild AD, moderate AD, and severe AD), Down's syndrome, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

[0093] In some embodiments, a human patient in need thereof is administered one or more doses of a pharmaceutical solution according to the present disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, administering a "dose" should be understood to refer to administering a quantity of a pharmaceutical solution according to the present disclosure. Nevertheless, a "dose" may be expressed in terms of an amount of antibody rather than an amount of pharmaceutical solution. For example, as one of skill in the art would understand, a reference to administering, e.g., a 100 mg dose of an antibody would refer to administering, e.g., 10 mL of a pharmaceutical solution of the antibody (wherein the pharmaceutical solution has a concentration of 10 mg of antibody per mL of solution (also referred to as a 10 mg / mL concentration)), or to administering, e.g., 5 mL of a pharmaceutical solution of the antibody (wherein the pharmaceutical solution has a concentration of 20 mg of antibody per mL of solution (also referred to as a 20 mg / mL concentration)).

In some embodiments, the second dose is administered four weeks after the one or more first doses.

[0097] Doses may also be expressed in mg / kg. As used herein, "mg / kg" refers to the amount of antibody or drug administered to a subject in milligrams based on their body weight in kilograms. The dose is given at one time. For example, a 10 mg / kg dose of antibody to a 70 kg patient is a single 700 mg dose of antibody administered in a single administration. Similarly, a 20 mg / kg dose of antibody to a 70 kg patient is a 1400 mg dose of antibody administered in a single administration. In some embodiments, the first dose is about 1 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg of antibody. In some embodiments, the patient is administered up to three first doses of about 1 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg. In some embodiments, the patient is administered one first dose, two first doses, or three first doses of about 1 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg.

[0101] [Table 1]

[0102] Table 2 summarizes the equipment used during development.

[0103] [Table 2]

[0104] 3. Method Protein content: UV absorbance at 280 nm (calculated extinction coefficient = 1.48 mL mg cm) The turbidity of the solution is determined by measuring the absorbance at 550 nm. Particulate matter was analyzed using the Accusizer SIS in accordance with USP <788> Monitor using the (light obscuration) method Thermal stability is monitored using microcalorimetry (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC).

[0105] 4. Experimental Design 4.1 pH research Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the pH of an antibody solution affects properties of the antibody, including, but not limited to, its solubility in solution. The solubility of an antibody in solution is an important parameter because it influences the amount of solution (i.e., dose) that must be administered to a patient to deliver a given amount of antibody and achieve the target biological effect in the patient. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is also believed that the pH of an antibody solution affects the stability of the solution (e.g., an antibody may degrade more rapidly in solution at a first pH than at a second, different pH). Given the importance of pH, a pH rate profile stability study was conducted to examine the solution pH conditions for donanemab. The experimental design is presented in Table 3.

[0106] Thawed bulk drug substance (10 mM citrate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 6.5; 57.5 mg / mL) was dialyzed against 10 mM citrate buffer using a 30,000 MWCO Slide-a-lyzer cassette. Dialysis was performed at 2-8 °C, and the buffer was changed daily. After buffer exchange, the protein concentration in each solution was measured and diluted to the desired concentration (approximately 50 mg / mL for F4 and 2 mg / mL for the other solutions). The final solution was filtered using a 0.22 μm syringe filter.

[0107] The filtered solutions were filled into 20R glass vials, which were then stoppered and sealed. The vials of each solution were stored under specified storage conditions in the relevant stability chambers (e.g., 5±3°C, 25±2°C / 60±5%RH, and 40±2°C / 75±5%RH). The test schedule is listed in Table 4.

[0108] Samples were tested for purity (SEC and CE-SDS reduced and non-reduced), protein content (UV assay at 280 nm), insoluble particulate matter (light obscuration and appearance), turbidity (A550), and pH. Approximately 1 mL of each solution was sent for thermal stability (calorimetry).

[0109] [Table 3]

[0110] [Table 4] X = pull a sample and test, O = pull a sample and test as needed * The samples were analyzed by standard DSC and microcalorimetry.

[0111] 4.2 Freezing / thawing studies The stability of the donanemab solution was assessed after freezing and thawing up to three times.

[0112] The solutions were subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles and analyzed in the following manner: Morning of Day -1: TO analysis, freeze vials at -70°C Day -1 PM: Thaw at room temperature for T1 analysis, freeze vials at -70°C Morning of day -2: Thaw at room temperature for T2 analysis; freeze vials at -70°C. Day 2 (afternoon): Thaw at room temperature and analyze for T3.

[0113] The bulk drug substance was dialyzed against selected 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0), and then polysorbate 80 was added at different concentrations (0.01, 0.02, 0.04 w / v%) and finally diluted to approximately 25 mg / mL. Dialysis was performed at 2-8°C, and the buffer was exchanged 4, 8, and 24 hours after the start of dialysis.

[0114] Samples were formulated as outlined in the study design in Table 5.

[0115] After 0.22 μm filtration, the solutions were divided into 10R vials, filled with 5 mL of each solution, stoppered and sealed. The test schedule was as listed in Table 6.

[0116] Samples were tested for soluble aggregate (SEC), insoluble particulate matter (light obscuration and appearance), protein content (UV assay at 280 nm), aggregation (DLS), turbidity (A550), and pH.

[0117] [Table 5]

[0118] [Table 6] Note: X = sample removed and tested; blank = no test

[0119] 4.3 Mixing studies The stability of donanemab was evaluated after 24 and 48 hours of agitation on a rotary shaker at 100 rpm at room temperature. This speed caused the solution in the vial to vibrate slightly. Solutions with the same matrix and the same dialysis procedure as in the freeze-thaw study were analyzed (see Table 5). After 0.22 μm filtration, the solution was divided into 10 R vials, each filled with 5 mL of each solution, stoppered, and sealed. The test schedule is listed in Table 7.

[0120] [Table 7]

[0121] 4.4 Solubility studies The solubility of donanemab was studied in 10 mM citrate buffer at pH 6 using 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80. Donanemab BDS was dialyzed into the appropriate buffer (the same dialysis procedure was followed for freeze-thaw and agitation studies), concentrated using an Amicon® Ultra 30K centrifugal filter unit, filled into 5 mL glass vials, stoppered, sealed, and stored at -5°C on a pre-cooled freeze-dryer shelf. After 24 hours, samples were visually observed for phase separation. If no phase separation occurred, the samples were subjected to additional physical stability testing at 5°C for 1 week. The testing schedule was as listed in Table 8.

[0122] [Table 8] Note: A complete study is only foreseen for one time point. 5.Results 5.1 pH research This study was designed to investigate the stability of donanemab at different pH levels. Seven solutions (F1-F7), shown in Table 3, were studied. The effects of sodium chloride and protein concentration were also investigated at pH 6.0. The pH range of 5-7 was selected based on previous studies that showed maximum chemical and physical stability at pH 6.0. Tables A.1-A.9 in Appendix A tabulate the results from this study.

[0123] Protein content, turbidity (Abs at 550 nm) and pH values remained unchanged throughout the study for all solutions. After 4 weeks at 2°C-8°C, almost no particles were observed in all solutions (F1-F7). After 4 weeks at 40°C / 75% RH, few particles and filaments were observed in all solutions (Tables A.1 and A.2).

[0124] Looking at the overall SEC data, the results obtained from the 40°C / 75% RH storage temperature were considered more meaningful than those obtained from the 2°C-8°C storage conditions. The SEC chromatograms showed a shoulder after the main peak, which was identified as a fragment of donanemab and was therefore included in the low molecular weight species (LMW%) or fragmentation. After 4 weeks at 2-8°C, minimal differences in aggregation / fragmentation were observed in all test samples. After 4 weeks at 40°C, fragmentation was more evident in F7 (pH 6.0, NaCl) and F6 (pH 5.0). In contrast, aggregation was higher in F4 (pH 6.0, 50 mg / mL), which may be due to the higher protein concentration. Solutions F1 (pH 7.0), F2 (pH 6.5), F3 (pH 6.0), and F5 (pH 5.5) showed a lower degree of fragmentation and / or aggregation. Figure 1 and Table A.3 in Appendix A provide further SEC data for solutions at different pHs.

[0125] Non-reducing CE-SDS purity results remained relatively unchanged over 4 weeks of storage at 5° C. The least decrease in % donanemab was observed after 4 weeks at 40° C. in the following solutions: F7 (pH 6.0 NaCl) and F5 (pH 5.5). % donanemab refers only to the % area of the peak identified as intact monoclonal antibody.

[0126] Figures 2A, 2B, and Table A.4 in Appendix A provide further details regarding the pH studies.

[0127] After 4 weeks of storage, the overall % purity by reduced CE-SDS decreased. Solution F5 (pH 5.5) had the smallest change in purity after 4 weeks, while solution F1 (pH 7.0) had the largest change in purity after 4 weeks. Figure 3 and Table A.5 in Appendix A provide additional purity data.

[0128] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed on the pH Study 1 samples and the data is reported in Table A.7. The results showed that the Tm1 transition was the highest energy transition.

[0129] Regarding subvisible particles, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the number of particles / mL in each solution decreased for each size investigated after 1 month of stabilization.

[0130] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the foregoing results suggest that antibody stability in solution may be maximized by preparing solutions at a pH between 5.5 and 6.0, e.g., pH 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, or 6.0. Table A.9 in Appendix A provides a summary of the results for the pH studies.

[0131] 5.2 Freeze-Thaw Research This study was conducted on solutions containing 25 mg / mL donanemab at pH 6.0 (based on the results of the pH study) at various polysorbate 80 levels (Table 5). The donanemab solutions were subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles as described above. All tabulated analytical results from the freeze-thaw study are summarized in Tables A.10-A.14 in Appendix A.

[0132] Very few particles were observed in solutions F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80), F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80), and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80) throughout the study. In contrast, solution F1 (no polysorbate 80) showed an increase in particles from the first freeze-thaw cycle. See Table A.10 in Appendix A.

[0133] For solutions F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80) and F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80), no significant variation was observed in the UV assay at 280 nm. Solutions F1 (no polysorbate 80) and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80) showed a slight decrease in the UV assay at 280 nm. See Table A.11 in Appendix A.

[0134] No pH variation was observed for all solutions (Table A.12 in Appendix A).

[0135] For solutions F1 (no polysorbate 80) and F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80), no significant variation of Abs at 550 nm was observed, whereas for solutions F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80) and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80), a slight decrease of this parameter was observed. See Table A.12 in Appendix A.

[0136] The SEC analysis showed a shoulder after the main peak, which was identified as a fragment of donanemab and was therefore included in the low molecular weight species % (LMW%) or fragments. For solutions F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80) and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80), no significant changes in the SEC profile were observed, whereas solution F1 (no polysorbate 80) showed a slight increase in the main peak and a concomitant decrease in fragmentation. For solution F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80), a decrease in the main peak and a concomitant increase in fragmentation were observed.

[0137] No variation in aggregation percentage was detected throughout the study. For a graphical representation of the above discussion, see Table A.13 in Appendix A, and Figures 5A, 5B, and 5C.

[0138] Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results indicated that the presence of a low percentage of polysorbate (e.g., 0.01% w / v) improves the overall physical properties of the solution, such as by reducing the number of visible and subvisible particles in the solution.

[0139] Soluble aggregates increased slightly in all samples after the freeze-thaw treatment. As shown in Figures 6A and 6B, after the third freeze / thaw cycle, the number of particles / mL generally increased for each solution at each size investigated.

[0140] Samples formulated without polysorbate 80 exhibited higher particulate matter counts as measured by light obscuration. See Table A.14 in Appendix A.

[0141] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the above results suggested a benefit to including 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80 in solutions containing donanemab to protect donanemab from physical instability associated with freezing and thawing.

[0142] 5.3 Stirring A study was conducted to evaluate potential stability concerns associated with freeze-thawing and processing (mixing, pumping, filling, etc.) of donanemab solutions. Testing was performed on solutions containing a protein concentration of 25 mg / mL at pH 6.0 (based on the results of Study 1) and formulated as outlined in Table 5. Donanemab was subjected to agitation on a rotary shaker as described above. The results of the spun samples are tabulated in Tables A.15-A.21.

[0143] Some particles were observed in solution F1 (no polysorbate 80), while a reduction in particles was observed throughout the study in solutions F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80), F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80), and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80). See Table A.15 in Appendix A.

[0144] No significant variation was observed in the UV assay at 280 nm for solutions F1 (no polysorbate 80), F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80), and F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80). A slight decrease in the UV assay at 280 nm was observed for solution F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80). See Table A.15A in Appendix A.

[0145] No pH variation was observed for all solutions (Table A.16 in Appendix A).

[0146] No significant variation in Abs at 550 nm was observed for solutions F1 (no polysorbate 80), F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80), and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80). A slight decrease in this parameter was observed in solution F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80). See Table A.16 in Appendix A.

[0147] The SEC analysis showed a shoulder after the main peak, which was identified as a fragment of donanemab and was therefore included in the % low molecular weight species (LMW%) or fragments. No significant variations in the SEC profile were observed for solutions F1 (no polysorbate 80) and F2 (0.01% polysorbate 80). Solutions F3 (0.02% polysorbate 80) and F4 (0.04% polysorbate 80) showed a decrease in the main peak and a concomitant increase in fragmentation.

[0148] No variation in percentage aggregation was recorded throughout the study. For a graphical representation of the above discussion, see Table A.17, Figures 7A, 7B, and 7C in Appendix A.

[0149] Non-reduced CE-SDS analysis showed an overall increase in % donanemab. See Table A.18 and Figure 8 in Appendix A.

[0150] An overall increase in % purity was observed by reduced CE-SDS analysis in all solutions. See Table A.19 and Figure 9 in Appendix A.

[0151] Donanemab was chemically stable after 2 days of rotation. Similarly, soluble aggregation was minimal after agitation for all samples. Solutions containing polysorbate 80 had the lowest particle counts / mL relative to solutions without it, primarily at 10 μm size (Figures 10A and 10B). See also Table A.20 in Appendix A.

[0152] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the above results suggested a benefit from including 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80 in a solution containing donanemab to protect donanemab from physical instability associated with mixing. For example, the above results suggested that a solution containing 10 mM citrate buffer, 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80, and pH 6.0 provided a stable solution of donanemab. See Table A.21 in Appendix A for a summary of the freeze-thaw and agitation study results.

[0153] 5.4 Solubility Taking into account pH, freeze-thaw, and agitation studies, the solubility of donanemab was studied in 10 mM citrate buffer at pH 6 in the presence of 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80. The solution was concentrated after dialysis against the selected citrate buffer. After the addition of polysorbate 80, the concentration was measured and shown to be approximately 125 mg / mL. The sample was stored at -5°C for 24 hours; the solution appeared more milky than at time 0, but no phase separation occurred. Figures 11A and 11B show snapshots of the sample. This same sample became clear upon equilibration to room temperature.

[0154] Samples were stored at 2-8°C for 1 week and then analyzed. The donanemab solution remained yellow throughout the study. No phase separation was observed after 24 hours of storage. After 1 week of storage at 2-8°C, the solution was clear, with particles and filaments present in the solution. A slight decrease in the UV assay was detected. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the absorbance (Ab) results at 550 nm may have been affected by the yellow color of the solution. No pH fluctuations were observed. SEC results were consistent with those obtained in a previous study of lower-concentration donanemab solutions.

[0155] The results are summarized in Table 9.

[0156] [Table 9]

[0157] 6. Conclusion A series of preformulation studies were conducted to select the pH and agent necessary to stabilize donanemab. These studies included identifying a pH range from 5.0 to 7.0 and studying the effects of polysorbate 80 on freeze-thaw and agitation, as well as donanemab solubility. The molecule demonstrated good chemical stability at pH 5.5 and pH 6.0. The pH 5.5 solution showed the least decrease in % purity with reduced and non-reduced CE-SDS. The pH 6.0 solution showed the least decrease in % purity with reduced and non-reduced CE-SDS.

[0158] Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that formulating donanemab at pH 6.0 confers benefits in terms of solution stability.

[0159] The addition of 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80 surfactant was also investigated. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the results suggested that formulating donanemab with 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate 80 confers a benefit in terms of solution stability.

[0160] During the solubility experiments, no phase separation was observed at a concentration of about 125 mg / mL.

[0161] Table 10 summarizes certain observations from the preformulation studies described above.

[0197] Example 2 - Further solution studies with donanemab 2.1 Research design The initial prototype solution screening study evaluated 13 prototypes with various donanemab concentrations, tonicity agents, buffer systems, and surfactant levels.

[0198] Donanemab solutions were prepared, and 20 mL vials were filled with 14 mL of solution to provide a worst-case scenario for headspace and potential sensitivity to oxidation and agitation. The vials were stoppered, capped, sealed, and stored upright at 5°C, 25°C, and 35°C for 3 months (the 10 and 17.5 mg / mL "R2" and "R13" solutions, described in the next section, were stored only at 5°C and 35°C due to material constraints). The vials were also subjected to an ISTA 3A shipping stress evaluation. A subset of solutions of interest was selected based on 3 months of data, and the retentates were tested after 29 months of storage.

[0199] Table 11 provides an overview of the solutions studied. P188 refers to Poloxamer 188. PS20 refers to Polysorbate 20 (Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate). PS80 refers to Polysorbate 80 (Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate).

[0200] As discussed in Example 1, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the pH of an antibody solution affects the properties of the solution and / or the antibody in solution. Also discussed in Example 1, without wishing to be bound by theory, the results of that Example suggested that antibody stability in solution may be maximized by preparing the solution at a pH of 5.5 to 6.0. Taking this information into account, in this Example, a solution was prepared with a target pH of 6.0.

[0201] [Table 44] * All solutions were prepared at a target pH of 6.0.

[0202] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the concentration of antibody in solution affects the stability of the solution. For example, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that even highly purified samples of antibody nevertheless contain trace amounts of impurities such as enzymes (e.g., esterases). Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that these impurities may promote (e.g., catalyze) processes that lead to solution degradation and / or the formation of particulate matter. Thus, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that a higher concentration of antibody in solution correlates with a higher concentration of trace impurities (e.g., enzymes), and therefore is more likely to result in solution degradation and / or the formation of particulate matter in solution (each of which is undesirable). For example, in a solution containing polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate, trace amounts of esterases may catalyze the hydrolysis of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate to produce free oleic acid, which in turn may cause the accumulation of particulate matter.

[0203] For at least these reasons, antibody concentration is understood to be one of many factors affecting solution stability. Therefore, antibody concentration was the variable investigated in this study. Specifically, a donanemab concentration range of 10 to 50 mg / mL was investigated. The 50 mg / mL concentration (R3) was expected to provide a worst-case scenario for potential particulate growth over time, as previously tested lyophilized formulations showed a tendency for increased particulate growth as a function of donanemab concentration. The use of a 50 mg / mL donanemab solution concentration would allow a single vial to be used for a 700 mg clinical dose. The 10 and 25 mg / mL concentrations were selected as the lower and upper limits of the expected range for a feasible solution formulation to mitigate the risk of particulate growth and provide an acceptable stability profile. The 17.5 mg / mL concentration (R13) was selected as the midpoint between the lower and upper ends of the expected acceptable solution range. At a concentration of 17.5 mg / mL, a clinical dose of 700 mg could be administered from two 20 mL drug product vials.

[0204] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the buffer properties of an antibody solution can affect the stability of the solution and / or the antibody therein. For example, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate is susceptible to oxidation when present in solution. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that oxidation of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate generates free radical species that can attack the antibody and cause protein modification and / or degradation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is also believed that oxidation of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate results in an increase in the amount of free oleic acid in the solution, which in turn causes an increase in the formation of particulate matter in the solution. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that certain buffers can reduce or prevent oxidation of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate. Therefore, it is believed that the selection of one or more buffers used in an antibody solution can affect the stability of the antibody solution by reducing or preventing antibody alteration and / or degradation and / or reducing or preventing particulate matter formation. In this study, several prototype solutions evaluated a 10 mM citrate buffer system to minimize antibody matrix changes between previously tested lyophilized formulations and the study solutions. A 25 mg / mL donanemab solution, R5, containing a 3:1 ratio of histidine to citrate, and R10, all containing histidine, were also studied for comparison with R1, which contained 10 mM citrate with 25 mg / mL donanemab.

[0205] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the nature of one or more tonicity agents present in an antibody solution can affect the stability of the solution and / or the antibody therein. For example, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that certain tonicity agents may act as cryoprotectants to prevent antibody degradation during the freeze-thaw process. Therefore, it is believed that the selection of one or more buffers used in an antibody solution can affect the stability of the antibody solution. In this study, several solutions were evaluated at a 10% w / v sucrose level. Previous lyophilized formulations utilized 8% w / v sucrose to provide isotonic conditions. Prototypes R4 and R6 evaluated glycine in combination with sucrose or mannitol, respectively, to provide an alternative to the 10% w / v sucrose level. Prototype R8 evaluated the addition of methionine to mitigate any potential oxidation-related chemical degradation observed in previous forced degradation studies. Solutions R7 and R9 evaluated trehalose and sodium chloride as alternative to sucrose as tonicity agents. Solution vial retention was evaluated for the lead prototype and selected prototypes from the initial study after 29 months of storage at 5° C. Based on the extended 5° C. storage conditions and acceptable chemical and physical property data, the sucrose-based solution formulation was modified to provide isotonic conditions (reducing sucrose from 10% w / v to 8% w / v).

[0206] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the nature and / or concentration of one or more surfactants present in an antibody solution can affect the stability of the solution and / or the antibody therein. For example, without wishing to be bound by theory, in a solution containing polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (PS80), a higher concentration of PS80 is believed to be associated with a greater number of free radical species (which, as discussed above, are themselves formed by oxidation of PS80), while a lower concentration of PS80 is believed to be associated with a fewer number of free radical species. As discussed above, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the free radical species can attack the antibody, causing protein alteration and / or degradation. Therefore, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that it is preferable to reduce the number of free radical species present in the antibody solution. Without wishing to be bound by theory, one way to do so is believed to be by adjusting the concentration of PS80 surfactant in the solution (e.g., identifying a concentration high enough to impart beneficial properties, but low enough to minimize or avoid the generation of free radical species). Conventional lyophilized formulations utilized PS80 at 0.02% w / v. In this study, several solutions had a target PS80 concentration of 0.02% w / v, except for R11, which used 0.02% w / v polysorbate 20 (PS20), and R12, which contained 0.04% w / v poloxamer 188. Solutions R1 and R3 contained 0.20% w / v PS80.

[0207] In a separate study, prototype solution vials were also subjected to ISTA-3A shipping evaluation to understand whether there was any susceptibility to particulate growth as a result of shipping stress conditions. After exposing various lyophilized formulations to ISTA-3A shipping conditions, particulate generation was observed.

[0208] 2.2 Research results When discussing differences between solutions, the corresponding figure (by figure number) is referenced. Where there are potential specifications associated with chemical or physical property attributes, lines indicating the specification limits are shown on the figure.

[0209] SEC monomer loss and corresponding aggregate growth were observed for all solutions at 35°C storage for 3 months (Figures 12A and 12B). At 25°C, both the sodium chloride-containing solution and the solution with a surfactant instead of PS80 all showed higher monomer loss when compared to the other solutions. The sodium chloride-containing solution also showed monomer loss after 3 months at 5°C storage. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that the PS80-containing solution may provide improved stability over time compared to the PS20-containing solution and / or that the sodium chloride-containing solution may experience decreased stability over time compared to solutions containing a different tonicity agent.

[0210] The CE-SDS reduction data (FIGS. 13A and 13B) show that the two solutions containing glycine had a higher % purity loss and correspondingly higher total aggregate / non-reduced species levels than all other solutions at 3 months at 25° C. and 35° C. storage conditions. All solutions had similar stability profiles for total fragments. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that including glycine in the solution may have a detrimental effect on the long-term stability of the solution.

[0211] Non-reducing CE-SDS data (Figures 14A and 14B) showed similar main peak purity and total aggregate stability profiles for all solutions. The 10 mM histidine solution showed lower total aggregates at all temperature conditions after 3 months compared to all other solutions. The solution containing 7.5 mM histidine showed less total aggregate growth than the other solutions, but at higher levels than the 10 mM histidine formulation, providing evidence that the presence of increased histidine levels in the DP matrix can prevent aggregate formation.

[0212] Evaluation of surfactant chemistry data indicates that none of the PS80-based solutions exhibited appreciable changes in total oleic acid (TOA) over the three-month storage conditions. In addition, Figure 15 shows that free oleic acid (FOA) in solutions containing sodium chloride and 10 mM histidine was higher after three months of storage at 25°C and 35°C than all other solutions containing 0.02% w / v PS80. After three months at 25°C, more than 25% of the TOA levels were present as FOA in these solutions, suggesting their greater susceptibility to PS80 hydrolysis.

[0213] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that esterases contained in the antibody solution may catalyze the hydrolysis of PS80 to produce free oleic acid. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that increasing the amount of free oleic acid in the antibody solution results in the formation of more particulate matter.

[0214] Solutions containing PS20 showed an increase in free lauric acid after 3 months at 25° C., approaching levels similar to those observed for the 10 mM histidine-based solution (about 25% of the total present in the free state). Solutions containing poloxamer showed no signs of loss over storage time at 5° C. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that solutions containing PS20 and / or histidine may be less preferable than solutions containing PS80 due to the increased free lauric acid observed in solutions containing PS20 or histidine.

[0215] Figures 16A, 16B, 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 18A, and 18B plot the particulate data (MFI and light obscuration) of the study solutions. For all solutions except the glycine and histidine solutions, particulate data remained low at 3 months for all temperatures. Solutions containing glycine, methionine, and 10 mM histidine showed slightly elevated 10 and 25 micron particle count light obscuration data compared to the other solutions. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggest that antibody solutions containing glycine, methionine, and / or histidine result in increased amounts of particulate matter compared to solutions containing, for example, sucrose and / or trehalose, and therefore, solutions containing sucrose and / or trehalose may be preferable in terms of reducing particulate matter and / or reducing particulate matter formation over time. Comparing the 29-month 5°C data to the 3-month stability data, there was little change in chemical or physical property attributes from the 3-month 5°C data. The SEC data showed a slight increase in aggregates and a corresponding decrease in monomer. The changes between 3 and 29 months at 5°C storage were not as significant as the differences observed between the 3-month 5°C data and the accelerated temperature data.

[0216] Samples of the solution were subjected to the ISTA-3A test. As described elsewhere herein, details of the ISTA-3A test are known to those skilled in the art and are available through the International Safe Transit Association at ista.org. Briefly, the ISTA-3A test is used to examine the effects of vibration, shock, and other stresses that may be encountered during handling and / or transportation of materials in a package delivery system. During the test, the test material is subjected to drops, vibrations, and shocks. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that damage to the test material is cumulative. In some instances of the test, an acceleration factor may be used. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the use of an acceleration factor allows for trading increased force for increased time. For example, while not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that exposing a sample to a first vibration force for one hour has the same effect on the sample as exposing the sample to a second vibration force that is one-fifth the strength of the first vibration force for five hours.

[0217] ISTA-3A shipping exposure data for the test solutions, including data for various sized particulates as measured by microflow imaging (MFI), data for various sized particulates as measured by light obscuration using a high-precision particle counter (HIAC), data for percent monomer content as measured by size exclusion chromatography, data for total aggregate content as measured by size exclusion chromatography, data for purity as measured by non-reducing CE-SDS, data for percent fragment content as measured by non-reducing CE-SDS, and data for percent aggregates as measured by non-reducing CE-SDS, are shown in Figures 19A, 19B, 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, and 22C. The data showed no substantial differences in chemical attributes or particulate counts between control samples of solutions (not subjected to ISTA-3A shipping testing) and samples subjected to ISTA-3A shipping testing, with the exception of solutions containing poloxamer. For example, as shown in Figures 23A and 23B, solutions containing poloxamer showed a several-fold increase in particles 2 μm or larger and particles 5 μm or larger as measured by MFI. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that solutions containing poloxamer as a surfactant may be less suitable for packaging and shipping. However, for all solutions except the poloxamer-containing solution, the solutions did not show a substantial increase in particle formation. Notably, this result contrasts with the results of ISTA-3A shipping tests performed on lyophilized formulations of antibodies, which, as discussed elsewhere herein, showed consistently higher levels of particulate matter after 1 month of storage and at subsequent time points. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that antibody solutions similar or identical to those tested herein (e.g., anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibody solutions containing citrate or histidine buffer, containing one or more tonicity agents selected from sucrose, trehalose, mannitol, and glycine, and containing PS20 and / or PS80 surfactant) may exhibit properties (e.g., physicochemical properties) that make them suitable for packaging and shipping.

[0218] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the foregoing chemical and stability performance data of the tested solutions suggested that the presence of histidine, methionine, sodium chloride, and / or glycine in the solution may adversely affect one or more chemical properties, microparticle growth, and / or solution and / or antibody stability. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the foregoing data suggested that a combination of 17.5 mg / mL anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibody concentration in a citrate buffer containing 10% w / v sucrose and 0.02% w / v PS80 provided an ideal solution in terms of usability and stability. For example, while the chemical and microparticle data for the antibody solution containing that combination of components were comparable to the previously tested lyophilized antibody matrix, the antibody solution containing that combination exhibited superior stability over time compared to the previously tested lyophilized antibody matrix.

[0219] 2.3 Further studies on tonicity agents and long-term storage of solutions at 5°C Two additional solutions were prepared at a donanemab concentration of 17.5 mg / mL in 5 mM citrate and contained 0.02% w / v PS80. In these solutions (identified as P1 and P2), sucrose was substituted for either mannitol (5.3% w / v concentration) or trehalose (10% w / v concentration). Sample vials were filled to a 20 mL fill volume, and the solutions were stored. Chemical and physical property data for the two additional solutions, as well as a solution containing 17.5 mg / mL donanemab in 10 mM citrate, 0.02% PS80, and 10% w / v sucrose (identified as R13) (the latter solution is shown for comparison with the two additional solutions), are illustrated in Figures 23A-29B. Samples of solutions P1 and P2 were stored at 5° C. for 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, and at 25° C. for 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Samples of solution R13 were stored at 5° C. for 3 months and 29 months, and at 35° C. for 3 months. The collected data, illustrated in FIGS. 23A-29B, include percent monomer content as measured by size exclusion chromatography, percent total aggregate content as measured by size exclusion chromatography, purity as measured by reduced CE-SDS, percent fragment content as measured by reduced CE-SDS, percent aggregates as measured by reduced CE-SDS, purity as measured by non-reduced CE-SDS, percent fragment content as measured by non-reduced CE-SDS, percent aggregates as measured by non-reduced CE-SDS, total oleic acid, free oleic acid, variously sized particulates as measured by microflow imaging (MFI), and variously sized particulates as measured by light obscuration using a high precision particle counter (HIAC).

[0220] Comparison of the 29-month and 6-month 5°C data for the chemical and physical properties of the three solutions (i.e., sucrose-containing, mannitol-containing, and trehalose-containing solutions) revealed no significant differences among the three solutions. In addition, the 3-month 35°C data indicated no stability concerns for any of the three solutions. The increased SEC monomer loss and total aggregate growth, the extent of total acidic variants, and the reduction in the main peak observed with elevated temperature storage were within expected ranges. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the foregoing data indicate that combinations of donanemab (e.g., at a concentration of 17.5 mg / mL) in citrate (e.g., at a concentration of 5 mM or 10 mM), PS80 (e.g., at a concentration of 0.02% w / v), and one or more of sucrose (e.g., at a concentration of 10% w / v), mannitol (e.g., at a concentration of 5.3% w / v), or trehalose (e.g., at a concentration of 10% w / v) provide acceptable stability over time (e.g., for 3 months, 6 months, or 29 months at 5°C, 25°C, and / or 35°C), and / or or improved stability over time (e.g., for 3 months, 6 months, or 29 months at 5°C, 25°C, and / or 35°C), for example, compared to a solution omitting one or more of citrate (e.g., 5 mM or 10 mM citrate), PS80 (e.g., 0.02% w / v PS80), and one or more of sucrose, mannitol, and / or trehalose (e.g., 10% w / v sucrose, 5.3% w / v mannitol, or 10% w / v trehalose).

[0221] 2.4 Peptide mapping studies Peptide mapping by LC-MS was performed on selected solutions after 29 months of storage at 5°C. Solutions in citrate matrix at 10, 17.5, and 25 mg / mL (R2, R13, and R8, respectively) and a 25 mg / mL histidine-based solution (R10) were compared to reference standards. The 25 mg / mL solution in citrate matrix (R8) also contained 5 mM methionine. Table 12 provides the peptide mapping results.

[0222] [Table 45]

[0223] Peptide mapping results for the three citrate-based solutions were comparable to the reference standard. There appeared to be no additional benefit to the addition of methionine in reducing oxidized species beyond the levels observed in the other citrate-based solutions. The histidine-based solution showed elevated oxidized species (HC M250) compared to the citrate solution and the reference standard.

[0224] The citrate-based solutions appeared comparable to the reference standard in overall peptide map profile, with all solutions exhibiting reduced levels of incomplete pyroglutamate and Des Gly amidated degradants compared to the reference standard.

[0225] Without wishing to be bound by theory, these peptide mapping results suggested that incorporating a citrate buffer into a solution of an anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibody was beneficial in terms of reducing antibody degradation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these results suggested that incorporating histidine into a solution of an anti-N3pGlu Aβ antibody had a detrimental effect on antibody degradation. Furthermore, these peptide mapping results, combined with the results discussed above for solutions containing sucrose, mannitol, and trehalose (e.g., no significant increase in aggregates or particulates after 29 months of storage at 5°C), suggest that, without wishing to be bound by theory, solutions containing donanemab (e.g., at a concentration of 17.5 mg / mL) in citrate (e.g., at a concentration of 5 mM or 10 mM), PS80 (e.g., at a concentration of 0.02%), and a combination of one or more of sucrose (e.g., at a concentration of 10% w / v), mannitol (e.g., at a concentration of 5.3% w / w), or trehalose (e.g., at a concentration of 10% w / v) may increase over time. The results further indicated that the compositions exhibited acceptable stability (e.g., for 3 months, 6 months, or 29 months at 5°C, 25°C, and / or 35°C) and / or improved stability over time (e.g., for 3 months, 6 months, or 29 months at 5°C, 25°C, and / or 35°C), for example, improved stability compared to solutions omitting one or more of citrate (e.g., 5 mM or 10 mM citrate), PS80 (e.g., 0.02% w / v PS80), and one or more of sucrose, mannitol, and / or trehalose (e.g., sucrose at a 10% w / v concentration, mannitol at a 5.3% w / v concentration, or trehalose at a 10% w / v concentration).
