Background Art

[0003] IL-17A is a central cytokine of a newly defined subset of inflammatory T cells, Th17 cells, which are important in several autoimmune and inflammatory processes. Neutralization of IL-17 A is expected to treat the pathophysiology underlying immune-mediated diseases and, as a result, result in symptom reduction. Secukinumab (AIN457) is a high-affinity fully human monoclonal anti-human antibody that inhibits IL-17A activity and has emerged as a potential treatment for patients with various autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, diabetes, asthma, chronic plaque psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. Several Phase II and III trials have shown that secukinumab is superior to placebo in achieving PASI 75 in the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis (e.g., in the CAIN457A2220 study, both 3×150 mg and 3×75 mg of secukinumab were superior to placebo in achieving PASI 75 at week 12 (81.5% and 57.1% respectively vs. 9% ). ). ). ). ). ). ). ​0.1%). Secukinumab is a global Phase I drug for the treatment of chronic plaque-type psoriasis. It is currently being used in the II trial and is once again superior to placebo, and new etanercept It has also been shown to be superior to [another method].

[0014] The term "contains" includes both "contains" and "consists of," for example, a composition "contains" X. , can be exclusive to X, or can include additional elements, for example X +Y.

[0015] Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the term "approximately" in relation to the number × means + / - 10%.

[0016] "Every month" means approximately every 4 weeks (for example, every 4 weeks), which is approximately every 28 days (for example) (Every 28 days)

[0017] The term "antibody" as used herein refers to a complete antibody and any antigen-binding fragment thereof. These include single chains. Naturally occurring "antibodies" are interconnected by disulfide bonds. It is a glycoprotein containing at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains. This is the heavy chain variable region (V in this specification). H It consists of the heavy chain steady region (abbreviated as ) and the heavy chain steady region. The region consists of three domains, CH1, CH2, and CH3. Each light chain is light chain-responsive. It consists of a variable region (abbreviated as VL in this specification) and a light chain steady region. The light chain steady region is 1 It consists of domains, CLs. H and V L The domain is the framework domain (FR). A more conserved region called a hypervariable region or complementary determination region is scattered between them. It can be further subdivided into a region of hypervariability called CDR. H and V L It consists of three CDRs and four CDRs arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. It consists of FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4 The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain binding domains that interact with the antigen. The normal domain includes various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first part of the classical complement system. It mediates the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including the component (C1q). It is possible to disclose some of the methods, regimens, kits, processes, uses, and compositions. In the embodiment, an antibody against IL-17 or the IL-17 receptor, preferably against IL-17. Antibodies, such as secukinumab, are used.

[0018] As used herein, “isolated antibody” refers to other antibodies having different antigen specificities. This refers to an antibody that is virtually nonexistent (for example, an isolated antibody that specifically binds to IL-17). (The body essentially lacks antibodies that specifically bind to antigens other than IL-17.) The terms "monoclonal antibody" or "monoclonal antibody composition" used in this book are single This refers to a preparation of a single-molecule antibody molecule. The term "human antibody" as used herein refers to a single-molecule antibody preparation. The antibody contains both the workpiece and CDR regions, which have variable regions derived from human sequences. It is assumed that "human antibodies" do not need to be produced by humans, human tissues, or human cells. The human antibodies of this disclosure may contain amino acid residues not encoded by human sequences. introduced (e.g., by random or site-directed mutagenesis in vitro, by N-nucleotide addition at the junctions during in vivo recombination of antibody genes, or by somatic mutations in vivo). In some embodiments of the disclosed methods, regimens, kits, processes, uses, and compositions, the IL-17 antibody is a human antibody, an isolated antibody, and / or a monoclonal antibody. As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to a fragment of an antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., IL-17). It has been found that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be

[0019] performed by fragments of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments included within the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody include Fab fragments, which are monovalent fragments consisting of the V, V, CL, and CH1 domains; F(ab)2 fragments, which are bivalent fragments comprising two Fab fragments linked by disulfide bridges in the hinge region; Fd fragments consisting of the V and CH1 domains; Fv fragments consisting of the V L and V H domains of a single arm of an antibody; dAb fragments consisting of the V domain (Ward et al., 1989 Nature 341:544-546); and isolated CDRs. Exemplary antigen-binding sites include the CDRs of secukinumab shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1-6 and 11-13 H (Table1), preferably the heavy chain CDR3. Further, the two domains of the Fv fragment, V and V L and V H are encoded by separate genes, but they can be H recombined using recombinant methods to form a single chain variable fragment (scFv) in which the V domains are covalently linked. Exemplary antigen-binding sites include the CDRs of secukinumab shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1-6 and 11-13 (Table1), preferably the heavy chain CDR3. Additionally, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, V L and V H are encoded by separate genes, they can be linked together using recombinant methods to form a single chain variable fragment (scFv) in which the VL and V H The regions pair up to form a monovalent molecule. A single protein chain (known as a single-chain Fv (scFv); e.g., Bird et al., 1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston et al., 1988 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 85:5879-58 (See 83) They are linked by a synthetic linker, which makes it possible for them to be fabricated as such. This is possible. Such single-chain antibodies are also included in the term "antibody". The bodies and antigen-binding fragments are obtained using the prior art known to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments of the methods, regimens, kits, processes, uses, and compositions, IL-17 (For example, secukinumab) or single-chain antibodies or antigenic antibodies against the IL-17 receptor Composite fragments are used.

Any means of injection, such as a pen, syringe, vial, automatic injection device, patch, etc. Each container is a "headspace," that is, a container that does not contain the liquid pharmaceutical composition. It has a region. This headspace is found in gases, such as oxygen and air. It contains a mixture of other gases. The level of oxygen in the headspace is, for example, oxygen Instead, an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen, argon, etc.) is introduced into the headspace. Therefore, it can be adjusted. This can be done, for example, by actively purging, or for example By placing a container in the system and removing oxygen (for example, by vacuum), passive This can be achieved. For example, by purging using an inert gas, preferably nitrogen. This refers to the occurrence before, during, or before the installation of the stopper before or in between filling the container with the composition. It can be filtered. As used herein, the term "oxygen content in headspace" means, This refers to the percentage of oxygen found in the headspace of a given container.

More preferably, less than 10%, and more preferably less than 5%, of aggregates are formed over a period of one year. When measured (for example by AP-SEC), stability can be demonstrated. Alternatively, aggregate formation, as measured by SEC, after storage at 25°C for 13 months, Stability can be demonstrated if the values ​​are ≤ approximately 3.5%, ≤ approximately 3.0%, or ≤ approximately 2.2%. Alternatively, after 13 months of storage at 25°C, the formation of degradation products (RP-HPLC) When measured by the pre-main peak species, the percentages were ≤ approximately 39.4%, ≤ approximately 37.8%, Alternatively, if the value is ≤ approximately 34.5%, it can be considered stable.

This maintains its physical stability. Furthermore, for example, fluorescence spectroscopy (to determine the tertiary structure of proteins) When evaluated by (or by FTIR spectroscopy (to determine the protein secondary structure)) The protein conformation should not be significantly altered.

[0023] If it does not exhibit significant chemical modification, the antibody maintains its chemical stability in the pharmaceutical composition. To maintain. By detecting and quantifying the chemically modified form of proteins, Stability can be evaluated. Degradation processes that often alter the chemical structure of proteins include Hydrolysis or clipping (size exclusion chromatography [SEC] and SDS- (Assessed by methods such as PAGE), oxidation (e.g., mass spectrometry or MALDI / T) (Evaluated by methods such as peptide mapping used in combination with OF / MS), deamide ( Cation exchange chromatography (CEX), capillary isoelectric focusing, peptide ion chromatography (Assessed by methods such as saturation and isoaspartic acid measurement) and isomerization (iso It contains (evaluated by measurements such as aspartic acid content and peptide mapping). ru.

It was determined. Specifically, for example, when measured by SEC and RP-HPLC, oxygen The container has been purged, i.e., has less than 12% oxygen in the headspace. The pharmaceutical product has improved stability compared to the unpurged product, according to the inventors. He made that judgment.

[0068] Modification of the oxygen content in the headspace using purging (e.g., nitrogen purging) is a filling process. This can be achieved during the purging stage or the plugging stage (or both). For example, nitrogen purging involves actively introducing an inert gas (e.g., using a needle). This can be achieved while plugging it.

The oxygen content in the headspace is determined by laser absorption spectroscopy. It can be monitored by quenching, fluorescence quenching, or gas chromatography. The oxygen content in the headspace of a given container increases over time, for example, due to leakage. It will be understood that there is a headspace. Therefore, as used in this specification, "headspace The phrase "oxygen content inside" refers to the head of the container immediately after the product is sealed (e.g., by putting a stopper on it). This refers to the initial level of oxygen in space.

[0082] In liquid compositions lacking surfactants, there is a significant increase in turbidity and an increase in the amount of visible particles. The inventors determined that there was a difference. However, apart from the increase in ALP-DP and RP, No advantage of poloxamer 188 was detected compared to resorbate 20 and 80. Polysorbates 20 and 80 prevent the increase of turbidity, subvisible and visible particles. They showed equivalent effectiveness in both cases. Therefore, polysorbate 20 and 80 are disclosed. It is a preferred surfactant for use in stable liquid compositions.

To prevent the oxidation and aggregation of proteins in liquid pharmaceutical compositions with shorter shelf lives, The confirmatory agent provides support. Various analytical methods are used to evaluate the stability of a given composition. For example, in the liquid compositions disclosed herein, the oxidation product (pre-main peak) RP-HPLC can be used to assay the levels, as disclosed herein. SEC can be used to assay the level of aggregation in liquid compositions.

[0084] Stabilizers suitable for use in the disclosed liquid compositions include ionic and nonionic stabilizers. Stabilizers (and combinations thereof), for example, sugar, glycine, sodium chloride, arginine, E DTA, sodium ascorbate, cysteine, sodium bisulfate, sodium citrate It contains methionine and benzyl alcohol. In some embodiments, a liquid pharmaceutical compound The products belong to the first group (e.g., sugars [e.g., trehalose, mannitol], amino acids [e.g., For example, at least one stabilizer from glycine, arginine, and sodium chloride Contains. In some embodiments, the liquid pharmaceutical composition contains the second group (EDTA, ascorbyl). Sodium phosphate, cysteine, sodium bisulfate, sodium citrate, methionine and It contains at least one stabilizer (benzyl alcohol). The stabilizers of the second group are anti- It tends to have oxidizing properties, which means that the oxidation of residues can be reduced by IL-17 antibodies. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical composition comprises one from the first group and one from the second group. It contains one or two stabilizers.

[0085] For the stabilizers of the first group, nonionic stabilizers are preferred. Suitable nonionic stabilizers These include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and trisaccharides, such as trehalose, raffinose, maltose, and solubyl. It contains vitol or mannitol. The sugar may be a sugar alcohol or an amino sugar. Good. The concentration of the stabilizer in the first group is approximately 175 mM to approximately 350 mM, for example, approximately 200 mM. ~300mM, for example; ~250mM~270mM, for example; ~180~300mM M, approx. 200mM to approx. 225mM, approx. 175mM, approx. 180mM, approx. 185mM, approx. 19 0mM, approx. 195mM, approx. 200mM, approx. 225mM, approx. 250mM, approx. 270mM, 2 75 mM, or approximately 300 mM. Approximately 200 mM to approximately 300 mM (for example, approximately 25 Mannitol at concentrations of 0 mM to approximately 270 mM, and approximately 180 mM to approximately 300 mM (for example, Trehalose at concentrations of approximately 200 mM to 225 mM, and trehalose at concentrations of approximately 130 mM to 150 mM. Sodium chloride at approximately 160 mM concentration, arginine at approximately 160 mM concentration, and glycine at approximately 270 mM concentration. This is particularly beneficial.

[0086] Glycine as a stabilizer (Group 1) has a slight effect on SEC-AP and DLS. Although the inventors determined that this was advantageous, an increase in almost all decomposition products was observed. NaCl as a stabilizer (Group 1) is degraded by SEC and CEX basic mutants. This led to an increase in aggregated products. Trehalose and mannitol are equivalent in beneficial effects. It acted as a confirming agent and was confirmed in almost all analyses, but compared to trehalose, manni Tor showed slightly inferior efficacy (SEC-AP, DLS) and lower water solubility. Therefore, trehalose is the first preferred stabilizer due to its positive effect on degradation products. This is a group of. In one embodiment, the liquid composition contains about 200 mM to about 225 mM trehalose. Contains trehalose. In one embodiment, the liquid composition contains about 200 mM trehalose. In terms of form, the liquid composition contains approximately 225 mM trehalose.

[0087] The inventors found that the second group had a significant effect on the stability of the liquid composition of secukinumab. They determined that, compared to compositions containing stabilizers of the second group, the inventors' experiments showed that the second group was superior. The study showed that the absence of stabilizers in group 2 was inferior (SEC-AP, DLS, turbidity, RP-B). Tetrasodium EDTA and cysteine ​​showed aggregation and degradation products in their respective analytical methods. The addition of cysteine ​​as a stabilizer to the second group showed an increase in storage at 40°C for 4 weeks. Within a short time, freeze-thaw stress and precipitation resulted in a turbid composition. However, analysis revealed The inventors determined that methionine is advantageous in all compositions. Therefore, For the second group of stabilizers, methionine, which also has antioxidant properties, is preferred. The concentration of the stabilizer (e.g., methionine) should be at least about 2.5 mM, for example, about 2.5 to about 20mM, for example, at least about 2.5mM, at least about 5mM, at least about 10mM Or at least about 20 mM (for example, about 2.5 mM, about 5 mM, about 10 mM or about 2 It may be 0 mM). In a preferred embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical composition is at least from the first group. It contains at least one stabilizer and methionine. In some embodiments, the disclosed liquid The composition contains approximately 5 mM methionine.

[0119] The examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and in light of them Various modifications and changes are suggested to technicians in the art, and they reflect the spirit and purpose of this application. It is understood that this falls within the scope of the subject and the attached claims.

[0120] These examples describe the development of a stable liquid composition of secukinumab. The data are as follows: The pH of the composition and the selection of stabilizers from the second group had a significant impact on the stability of the liquid composition. This demonstrates the effect of headspace oxygen content on the stability of the liquid composition. It also shows the antibody concentration, the choice of surfactant, the choice of stabilizer in the first group, and the choice of buffer system. The impact on qualitative aspects was smaller. Therefore, the variable that has a greater impact on stability is the one that is less affected. When considering this, the disclosed pharmaceutical product is a head product in which the oxygen content is less than approximately 12%. A container having a base (e.g., PFS or vial) and disposed inside the container The liquid pharmaceutical composition comprises a pH of approximately 5.2 to approximately 6.2 and approximately 20 mg Secukinumab at concentrations of 175 mg / mL to 175 mg / mL, and L-methods of approximately 2.5 to 20 mM. Contains thionine. When considering variables that have a large and small effect on stability, disclosed Pharmaceutical products are containers that have a headspace in which the oxygen content is less than approximately 12% (e.g.) For example, a PFS (or vial) and a liquid pharmaceutical composition placed inside the container. The composition has a pH of approximately 5.2 to approximately 6.2 and contains secukinumab; a buffer; a surfactant. Contains stabilizers and approximately 2.5 to 20 mM L-methionine.

[0121] Based on the data disclosed below, preferred liquid compositions range from approximately 25 mg / mL to approximately 165 mg / mL. mg / mL secukinumab, approximately 185 mM to approximately 225 mM trehalose, approximately 0.01% to approximately 0.03% polysorbate 80, approximately 2.5 mM to approximately 20 mM L-methionine and approximately 1 A 0-30 mM histidine buffer (for example, approximately 20 mM histidine buffer) is used at approximately 5.8 p Includes H

[0126] 1.1 Variables that have a greater impact on the liquid state stability of Part I-secukinumab Detailed analysis (headspace oxygen, pH, and L-methionine) 1.1.1 Example 1: L-methionine The effects of several antioxidant stabilizers on secukinumab stability were investigated using a series of extensive analytical techniques. They used techniques to characterize it.

[0127] Initial studies have focused on tetrasodium EDTA sodium ascorbate, cysteine, and sulfite. Various antioxidant stabilizers, including sodium hydrogen and sodium citrate, were evaluated. None of these adequately stabilized the molecules, but compositions without antioxidant stabilizers and In comparison, tetrasodium EDTA and sodium citrate are used to aggregate products by SEC. A small stabilizing effect was observed (data not shown).

[0128] Further research will use a secukinumab concentration of 150 mg / mL with a DoE approach. Using cysteine, tetrasodium EDTA, and L-methionine stabilizers in a 10 mM solution. The concentration was evaluated and compared to the case without stabilizer. The composition was filled into PFS and subjected to long-term (5°C) and accelerated ( The product was subjected to a 2-month stability study under conditions of 25°C and stress (40°C), demonstrating physical stability. Properties (AP-SEC, DLS, turbidity, visible and subvisible particles due to light-darkening), chemical Stability (purity by CEX, purity by RP-HPLC, color) and biological activity (Cy The activity and free SH group indicators mediated by s-CEX were evaluated. Furthermore, freeze-thaw cycle (-2 (5 cycles from 0°C to room temperature) and shaking stress (150 rpm for 1 week), 2 mL It was added to the composition filled in the Ial.

[0129] For secukinumab, L-methionine was found to be the best second-class stabilizer. This is because the purity measured by CEX and the purity measured by RP-HPLC and the lower turbidity level Demonstrated by higher purity levels when measured by particle count and visible particle count. Compared to compositions without stabilizers, the presence of L-methionine resulted in significantly superior stability. The composition containing L-methionine was shown to have undergone 8 weeks of accelerated fertilization at 25°C and 40°C. After stability, AP-SEC levels are lower, DLS data is more consistent, and turbidity is lower. It had a lower amount of the pre-main peak species as measured by RP-HPLC. EDTA Basic variants by AP-SEC, DLS, CEX and premature mutations by RP-HPLC The increase in in-peak species was a disadvantage. As shown by various analytical methods, cis Thein leads to an increase in almost all aggregation and decomposition products.

[0130] Figure 1 shows the selected quality attributes after storage under different conditions. L-methionine Only was observed to have a consistent stabilizing effect on secukinumab. The stabilizing effect was The pre-main peak species were determined by RP-HPLC (Figure 1B) and AP-SEC (Figure 1D). This was particularly observed. Further effects were also observed in turbidity and hydrodynamic radius due to DLS. The effect of different L-methionine concentrations on secukinumab quality attributes will be evaluated in subsequent studies. It was worth it.

[0131] Figure 2 shows the results in histidine buffer at pH 5.8 in the presence and absence of L-methionine. Secukinumab concentration of 25 mg / mL and trehalose concentration of 225 mM and 0.02 Pre-treatment by RP-HPLC during storage at 25°C at a % polysorbate 80 concentration. This shows the change in the main peak species. The composition was filled into a 2 mL vial and measured under stress conditions. The samples were stored for 3 months. The black dashed line represents the values ​​obtained with a composition containing 0 mM L-methionine. This graph shows a linear fit to the formula, with the gray dashed line indicating the result obtained with a composition containing 10 mM L-methionine. This represents a linear fit to the given values. Clearly, the degradation was reduced in the presence of L-methionine. Kinetic activity was observed.

[0132] For compositions containing 150 mg / mL of secukinumab, concentration-dependent effects were also observed. Trehalose at concentrations between 200 mM and 300 mM, 0.01% to 0.04%. A composition containing polysorbate 80 and 0 mM to 10 mM L-methionine. Then, the study was conducted. The composition was filled into 1 mL of PFS and subjected to long-term, accelerated, and stressed conditions. It was stored for up to 3 months below. The physical (AP-SEC, DLS, light-darkening) of secukinumab Sub-visible and visible particles, turbidity, and chemical (purity by CEX, RP-H) Purity, color, stability, and biological activity were monitored using PLC (Programmable Calculation).

[0133] Figure 3 shows the pre-main peak species obtained by RP-HPLC after storage at 25°C for 6 months. This shows that the effects of trehalose and polysorbate 80 on decomposition were negligible. A clearly reduced degradation level was observed in the presence of L-methionine. This effect is The stability of secukinumab was more pronounced when comparing the presence and absence of L-methionine, but 2. Concentration dependence was also observed in the range of 5–10 mM L-methionine.

[0134] 150 mg / mL of histidine buffer pH 5.8, packed into 1 mL PFS. A composition containing cukinumab, 200 mM trehalose, and 0.02% polysorbate 80. The same stabilizing effect of L-methionine was observed after long-term storage (up to 30 months). Figure 4 shows AP-SEC(A) and RP-HPLC during storage at 5°C for up to 30 months. The pre-main peak species (B) is shown. The black dashed line indicates a concentration of 5 mM L-methionine. This shows a linear fit to the values ​​obtained with the composition, and the gray dashed line represents 0 mM L-methionine. This represents a linear fit to the values ​​obtained for compositions containing L-methionine. Clearly, the presence of L-methionine is evident. Reduced degradation kinetics were observed below.

[0135] Secukinumab stability (150 mg / mL, trehalose 200 mM, polysorbate 8) The effect of L-methionine concentration (0-20%) on 0.02% histidine buffer pH 5.8 In a study evaluating the effect of mM (m³), concentration dependence was further confirmed. Different compositions were compared using PFS. The samples were filled and stored for 13 months and 30 months (at 5°C only) under long-term and accelerated conditions. Stability was demonstrated in previous screenings (purity by RP-HPLC, purity by SEC, turbidity). The stability of secukinumab was observed to be assessed by a selected set of analytical techniques. However, no clear trend could be concluded from the turbidity measurements. The pre-main peak species identified by EC and RP-HPLC is clearly related to L-methionine concentration. It showed a significant dependence. This effect was small under real-time storage conditions, but a clear difference was observed at 25°C. Observed (Figure 5).

[0136] After 13 months of storage at 25°C, coagulation by SEC occurred in the composition without L-methionine. The aggregate level increased by 4.5% at t0 from the starting level of less than 1%. The addition of thionine increased this aggregate formation by 3.5% at 2.5 mM and 3% at 5 mM. At 0% and 20 mM L-methionine, the levels were reduced to 2.2%. At 5°C, L-methionine The difference between a composition without L-methionine and a composition containing 20 mM L-methionine is only 0.3%. The pre-main peak species detected by RP-HPLC contained 0 mM L-methionine. In the sample, the concentration increased from 9.1% to 42.7% during 13 months of storage at 25°C. RP -This increase in pre-main peak species by HPLC was 39.4% at 2.5 mM and 5.0 mM. The levels were reduced to 37.8% in the M-grade sample and to 34.5% in the 20 mM L-methionine-containing sample. In short, during storage at 5°C and 25°C in PFS in the presence of L-methionine, A Reduced levels of the pre-main peak species were observed using P-SEC and RP-HPLC. The difference was observed to be more pronounced after storage at 25°C, but it could still be detected after storage at 5°C. It was possible.

[0137] Already at a level of 2.5 mM L-methionine, compared to a composition without L-methionine In comparison, the decomposition rate was clearly reduced. This is due to the use of 0, 2.5, and 5.0 mM L-methionine. Further studies comparing the stability of secukinumab in the presence of nin have also confirmed this. After 24 months of storage under normal conditions, it contains 2.5 mM and 5.0 mM L-methionine. Among the compositions, there was a difference in purity by RP-HPLC, purity by SEC, and turbidity. It was not observed.

[0138] The addition of L-methionine to the liquid antibody composition in the vial is AP-SEC and CE- Impurities were also reduced by SDS (non-reducing) (Figure 6). Interestingly, the concentration was 25 mg / mL. A liquid antibody composition in a vial containing secukinumab, with reduced L-methionine concentration Existence was observed (Figure 6), and antibody integrity and stability were observed in compositions with lower antibody concentrations. This suggests that lower concentrations of L-methionine are sufficient to maintain [the desired state].

[0139] Based on the combined data from the above experiment, at least 2.5 mM (preferably about 5 mM) The methionine concentration of ) is ideal for the liquid composition of secukinumab, and other stabilizers of the second group. It is superior.

[0140] 1.1.2 Example 2: Headspace oxygen content 1.1.2.1 Primary packaging - PFS: At a concentration of 150 mg / mL secukinumab, and in a histidine buffer at pH 5.8, 20 Contains 0 mM trehalose, 5 mM L-methionine, and 0.02% polysorbate 80. The effect of headspace oxygen content on secukinumab stability was evaluated in various compositions. The composition was filled into 1 mL PFS from a PFS supplier. Headspace oxygen content The amounts are between 13% and 15% (0.5 mL filled volume), or 3-4% (0.5 mL) respectively. The measurement was found to be (L packing volume) / 7~8% (1.0 mL packing volume). The sample was subjected to long-term, rapid testing. The samples were stored for up to 6 months under advanced and stressful conditions. The selected compositions were then subjected to the most stressful conditions under long-term conditions. It was stored for 24 months. The stability of secukinumab was determined by purity measured by SEC and by RP-HPLC. Purity, purity by CEX, purity by CE-SDS (non-reducing), turbidity, color, free SH groups Biological activity was monitored using sub-visible and visible particles induced by light-darkening.

[0141] Pre-main peak species and headspace oxygen to AP-SEC by RP-HPLC The effects of content were observed under long-term, accelerated, and stressed conditions. Figure 7 shows the maximum of 9 months at 25°C. This shows AP-SEC during monthly storage. Clearly, it contains 13-15% headspace oxygen. The PFS with a certain quantity showed increased aggregation at 25°C. However, under storage conditions of 2-8°C... Compared to the headspace oxygen content, there was almost no absolute difference at the aggregate level (6% (Monthly data) (Data not shown).

[0142] Quality attributes of secukinumab (turbidity, purity by SEC, purity by RP-HPLC, CE - Purity, free SH groups, biological activity, and sub-visible particles obtained by SDS (non-reducing) and light-darkening. Different hemispheres (indicating a range of 6% to 21% (i.e., no purging) affecting children, visible particles, and color. The effect of headspace oxygen content levels was investigated at 5°C for 12 months, and under accelerated conditions (25°C). Further evaluation was performed during storage for 6 months and 3 months under stress conditions (40°C). 150 With secukinumab at mg / mL and 200 mM trehalose in histidine buffer pH 5.8 A study was conducted using a composition containing rose, 5 mM L-methionine, and 0.02% polysorbate 80. The following was performed: The sample was filled into the PFS, purged with certified oxygen mixture, and the target headspace was reached. Sustain the oxygen content.

[0143] No change in turbidity was observed over the storage period; the sub-invisible particles and color were not obscured by light darkening. No clear effect of headspace oxygen content on free SH groups was observed, and different headspace oxygen content was observed. The difference in space oxygen content between samples was within the range of method variability. Methionine concentration was measured at 5°C. Alternatively, during storage at 25°C, it does not show any relevant changes, regardless of headspace oxygen content. At 5°C, the concentration was observed to be 4.9 mM after 12 months (initial value 4.9-5.0 mM). .

[0144] This study demonstrated the relatively large effect of headspace oxygen content on aggregation products induced by SEC. In contrast to previous findings by the same researchers, this experiment showed that even unpurged reference samples were intentionally... Under the storage conditions shown (5°C), only small changes were observed during storage for a maximum of 12 months. Tested at different stability points (up to 12 months at 2-8°C and up to 6 months at 25°C). Regarding the presence of samples with different oxygen levels in headspace, SEC No relevant differences were observed in purity and aggregates (Figure 8). In contrast, the inventors found that, We noticed an increase in principal purity measured by RP-HPLC with increasing headspace oxygen content. At 5°C (after 12 months of storage) (data not shown) and 25°C (after 6 months of storage), This was observed (Figure 9). No new peaks appeared.

[0145] 1.1.2.2 Primary packaging - vial: The composition was filled into 2 mL vials and stored under refrigerated conditions for 12 months, as well as accelerated and slow-released. They were stored for up to 3 months under low-temperature conditions. Tables 5-7 show the results in the presence of 5 mM L-methionine. In the absence of histidine buffer at pH 5.8, the concentration of secukinumab at 25 mg / mL is... and at trehalose concentrations of 225 mM and polysorbate 80 concentration of 0.02% Pre-main peak species by RP-HPLC during storage at 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C And summarize the changes in SEC-AP.

[0146] [Table 5]

[0147] [Table 6]

[0148] [Table 7]

[0149] [Table 8]

[0150] The effect of headspace oxygen content on the 25 mg / ml secukinumab vial solution is 5 After 12 months at °C (4.5% vs. 20% headspace oxygen content with 5% headspace oxygen content) (7.1% content, see Table 5), after 3 months at 25°C (5% headspace oxygen content) 7.9% vs 20% oxygen (20.6%, see Table 6), and after 3 months at 40°C (5% oxygen) Headspace oxygen content 40.6% vs. 20% headspace oxygen content 46.2%, Table 6 Observable by the pre-main peak species by RP-HPLC (see reference). 3 months at 40°C. The same trend can then be derived for AP-SEC (5% headspace oxygen). (1.8% in content versus 2.5% in headspace oxygen content, see Table 6). Furthermore, When combined with a low headspace oxygen content, L-methionine concentration has a further effect. It has, for example, data on the 5% oxygen headspace content after storage at 5°C for 12 months. When comparing the pre-main peak species by RP-HPLC with compositions containing L, 5 mM L - Compared to 4.5% of compositions containing methionine (Table 5), compositions containing L-methionine In compositions without the substance, 6.1% (Table 7) was found. After 3 months at 25°C (5%~20% oxygen) : 20.9-25.5% in the absence of L-methionine (Table 8) vs. 5 mM L-methionine In the presence of 17.9-25.5% (Table 6), and after 3 months at 40°C (5%-20%) Oxygen: 44.6–50.9% in the absence of L-methionine (Table 8) vs. 5 mM L-methionine In the presence of nin, the same difference was observed in 40.6-46.2% (Table 6), as measured by RP-HPLC. This can be seen in the Remaine Peak species.

[0151] Based on the above experiment, PFS and vial (pre-main peak by RP-HPLC) In enhancing the stability of liquid compositions in both cases (when evaluated by species), head Nitrogen purging that reduces the space oxygen content to less than approximately 12% is considered beneficial.

[0152] 1.1.3 Example 3: Interaction between L-methionine concentration and headspace oxygen content Further research will evaluate the interaction between L-methionine concentration and headspace oxygen content. L-methionine in the range of 2.5-7.5 mM and headspace between 3 and 9%. A composition containing oxygen was prepared. The composition was filled into a PFS and subjected to long-term and accelerated conditions. It was stored below for 6 months. Related secukinumab quality attributes (purity by SEC, RP-HP) Purity by LC; purity by CEX, free SH groups, biological activity, and sub-visibility by light-darkening. Monitor the presence and visibility of particles, turbidity and color of the solution after 3 and 6 months of storage. Figure 10 shows the L-methionine and headspace oxygen content at 25°C. The purity measured by AP-SEC after 6 months of storage is shown. When analyzed, no interaction was observed within the tested range.

[0153] Another study examined the effects of reduced headspace oxygen content and L-methionine concentration. The evaluation was performed at a secukinumab concentration of 150 mg / mL. The composition was 270 mM mannitol. , 0.04% polysorbate 80 and different L-methionines ranging from 0.15% to 2% It contained concentration. The composition was filled into a 2 mL glass vial and purged with nitrogen or They were not stored under long-term, accelerated, and stressful conditions for up to six months.

[0154] Figure 11 shows L at concentrations of 0.15% (10 mM), 1% (67 mM), or 2% (134 mM). - In a composition containing methionine and nitrogen or air headspace for up to 36 months This shows the primary peak species as determined by RP-HPLC after storage, as previously observed. The pre-main peak species identified by RP-HPLC is the group containing a higher amount of L-methionine. The levels were lower in the product. When the headspace was purged with nitrogen, the same composition RP-HPLC showed lower levels of the pre-main peak species.

[0155] Based on combined data from various experiments using vials and PFS as primary packaging. Therefore, a head concentration of less than 12% combined with at least approximately 2.5 mM L-methionine The dospa oxygen content is ideal for the liquid composition of secukinumab.

[0156] 1.1.4 Example 4: pH The effect of pH on secukinumab stability is 90 in the pH range between 4.0 and 7.5. 10 mM citrate / sodium phosphate buffer containing mM sodium chloride The initial evaluation was performed at concentrations of mg / ml. The samples were stored at 5°C and 40°C for 3 weeks. Then, the stability of secukinumab was monitored after five freeze-thaw cycles from ≤-60°C to room temperature. did.

[0157] The optimal pH for *Secchunum* varied depending on the degradation pathway analyzed. Aggregation and ta Protein degradation is determined by purity measured by SEC and purity measured by SDS-PAGE (reduction). The average molecular weight measured by LLS was smallest at pH 5.7-6.2, but the purity measured by CEX was The optimal pH was pH 5.3. Active secukinumab has one free cysta on each light chain. It contains a residue, and thus, it is expected that 2 moles of thiol groups are present per mole of secukinumab. The reduced level of free SH groups correlates with the loss of biological activity of secukinumab. The free SH groups were quantified using a method based on Elman's reagent. At pH 4.3 alone, 1 A slightly lower value of 1.94 moles per mole was observed. Secukinumab freeze-thaw resistance Resistivity was monitored by purity measured by SEC, and the average molecular weight measured by LLS was pH 5.3 The maximum pH was found at ~5.7. pH 5.8 was selected for further formulation of secukinumab. It was done.

[0158] Further research on the effect of pH on secukinumab stability is needed using a DoE approach. The PFS was performed using 150 mg / mL. The effect of pH within the range of 5.2 to 5.8 was investigated. The composition was evaluated at the secukinumab concentration. The composition was evaluated under long-term (5°C), accelerated (25°C), and strenuous conditions. In a 2-month stability study under the conditions of (40°C), physical stability (AP-SEC, DL) was investigated. S, turbidity, visible and sub-visible particles due to light-darkening, chemical stability (purity by CEX) Degree, purity by RP-HPLC, color, and biological activity (activity by Cys-CEX). The indicator of free SH groups was evaluated. Furthermore, freeze-thaw cycles (-20°C to room temperature) were performed. A composition filled in a 2 mL vial, subjected to (L) and shaking stress (150 rpm for 1 week). In addition, the pH values ​​within the investigated range were used for secukinumab stability (AP-SEC, DP-SE). This significantly affects basic mutations (measured by C, DLS, and CEX, and purity measured by RP-HPLC). It was found that boiling was the ideal pH (AP-S). Results from previous studies have shown that pH 5.8 is ideal (AP-S Confirmation regarding the pre-main peak species by EC, DP-SEC, and RP-HPLC. (Figure 12)

[0159] Secukinumab at a concentration of 150 mg / mL, trehalose 200 mM, 2.5-7.5 m Contains L-methionine in the M range and a headspace oxygen content between 3 and 9%. The effect of pH was further evaluated in the composition. The pH of the histidine buffer ranged from 5.4 to 6.2. The values ​​fluctuated between [values]. The composition was filled into PFS and stored for 6 months under long-term and accelerated conditions. Related secukinumab quality attributes (purity by SEC, purity by RP-HPLC; CEX Purity, free SH groups, biological activity, sub-visible particles, visible particles, and soluble particles due to light-darkening. The turbidity and color of the liquid were monitored after 3 and 6 months of storage. Figure 13 shows the results at 5°C. This shows the effect of pH on the quality attributes of secukinumab after storage. Increased turbidity, AP- Acidic variants produced by SEC and CEX, as well as higher purity due to reduced SEC, are available at higher pH levels. This was observed in the values ​​and further confirmed the observations from the initial screening.

[0160] Based on combined data from various experiments, a pH range of approximately 5.2 to 6.2 is found in Seckinu. It is ideal for liquid compositions of mab.

[0161] 1.2 Part 2 - Excipients having a smaller effect on the liquid state stability of secukinumab Detailed analysis (stabilizers, surfactants, and buffers) 1.2.1 Example 5: The choice of stabilizer has little effect on stability. The solubility of secukinumab during long-term storage conditions as well as during storage under accelerated and stressed conditions. Formation of insoluble aggregates (purity by AP-SEC, SDS-PAGE, light scattering technology), chemistry Physical stability (purity by RP-HPLC, purity by CEX, color) and biological activity (C Evaluation of different stabilizers regarding activity (of ys-CEX, free SH group, and biological activity) Development of initial compositions for liquid dosage forms with a focus on specific areas.

[0162] The stabilizers were divided into three different classes: the first group was nonionic (mannitol, t Lehalose dihydrate and ionic (sodium chloride and arginine hydrochloride) stabilizers It included. All stabilizers in the first group offered advantages over those without stabilizers. However, non Ionic stabilizers (trehalose and mannitol) are lower than those used by Cys-CEX. As observed at the aggregate level and with higher activity, the molecules are more stabilized. This was observed.

[0163] Based on conclusions from initial composition development studies, further research will be conducted using the DoE approach. This was performed using PFS. Stabilizer Group 1 (glycine, mannitol, trehalose dihydrate) The effects of sodium chloride were evaluated. The composition was filled into a pre-filled syringe and subjected to long-term, accelerated treatment. In a 2-month stability study under stress conditions, physical stability (AP-SEC, DL) was observed. S, turbidity, visible and sub-visible particles due to light-darkening, chemical stability (purity by CEX) Degree, purity by RP-HPLC, color, and biological activity (activity by Cys-CEX). The indicator of free SH groups was evaluated. Furthermore, freeze-thaw cycles (-20°C to room temperature) were performed. A composition filled in a 2 mL vial, subjected to (L) and shaking stress (150 rpm for 1 week). Added: Regarding stabilizer class I, observations from previous screenings were confirmed:1 ) All stabilizers in group 1 offered advantages over those without stabilizers; and 2) non-io The antacid stabilizer was found to be a superior stabilizer for the secukinumab protein. (Figure 14). This is because the purity was determined by SEC, RP-HPLC and DLS. This was particularly pronounced in polydisperse. No related effects were observed when comparing different nonionic stabilizers. It wasn't done.

[0164] Next, the inventors of the present invention used a stabilizer class I (trehalose dihydrate, 200-300 mM) The ideal concentration was identified. The sample was packed into a PFS and subjected to long-term, accelerated, and stressed conditions. It was stored for 3 months. The physical effects of secukinumab (AP-SEC, DLS, sub-darkening) (Visible particles, visible particles, turbidity) and chemical (purity by CEX, by RP-HPLC) The purity, color, stability, and biological activity of various trehalose concentrations were monitored. No relevant differences were observed in the quality attributes of secukinumab (Figure 3).

[0165] 1.2.2 Example 6: The choice of surfactant has little effect on stability. The solubility of secukinumab during long-term storage conditions as well as during storage under accelerated and stressed conditions. Formation of insoluble aggregates (purity by AP-SEC, SDS-PAGE, light scattering technology), chemistry Physical stability (purity by RP-HPLC, purity by CEX, color) and biological activity (C Regarding activity by ys-CEX, free SH group, and biological activity, different excipients (e.g., For a 150 mg / ml liquid composition, with a focus on the evaluation of stabilizers and surfactants. Development of the initial composition. Excipients were divided into three different classes: Group III consists of surfactants. Contains Resorbate 20 and 80. During static storage, compared to no surfactant, 0.0 No difference was observed between 4% concentrations of polysorbate 20 and 80.

[0166] Based on conclusions from initial composition development studies, further research will be conducted using the DoE approach. This was performed using PFS. Surfactants (polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, polox The effects of Summer 188 (none) were evaluated. The composition was filled into PFS and subjected to long-term, accelerated, and short-term effects. In a 2-month stability study under TRES conditions, physical stability (AP-SEC, DLS, turbidity) was measured. (Visible and sub-visible particles due to light-darkening), chemical stability (purity by CEX, RP) -Purity and color by HPLC, and biological activity (activity by Cys-CEX, free SH The indicators of the base were evaluated. Furthermore, freeze-thaw cycles (-20°C to room temperature, 5 cycles) were performed. A shaking stress (150 rpm for 1 week) was added to the composition filled in a 2 mL vial. Observation is performed based on lower turbidity levels and visible and subvisible particle counts due to light darkening. As shown, the presence of surfactants was beneficial. However, the weak influence of the type of surfactant. That was all there was (Figure 15).

[0167] The inventors have determined the ideal concentration of group III surfactants (polysorbate 80 0.01 ~0.04(w / v)%) was then identified. The sample was packed into a PFS and subjected to long-term, accelerated, and short-term testing. The samples were stored for up to 3 months under TRES conditions. The physical (AP-SEC, DLS) of secukinumab were also examined. (Sub-visible particles, visible particles, turbidity due to light-darkening) and chemical (purity by CEX, R) Purity, color, stability, and biological activity were monitored using P-HPLC. During the period of time (Figure 3) and after shaking at 150 rpm for one week, the quality attributes of secukinumab were also determined. No clear effect of polysorbate 80 concentration was observed. Furthermore, the number of sub-visible particles increased slightly due to polydispersion and light darkening by DLS. Therefore, Therefore, to maintain a safety margin for the lowest evaluation concentration, the concentration of polysorbate 80 It was set at 0.02%.

[0168] 1.2.3 Example 5: The choice of buffer has little effect on stability. Using the DOE approach, we can determine the type of buffer (citric acid, histidine, succinic acid, acetic acid). The effects of the composition were evaluated using PFS. The composition was filled into PFS and subjected to long-term, accelerated, and stressed conditions. In the 2-month stability study below, physical stability (AP-SEC, DLS, turbidity, light-darkness) was investigated. (Visible and sub-visible particles), chemical stability (purity by CEX, RP-HPLC) Indicators of purity (color) and biological activity (activity by Cys-CEX, free SH group) We evaluated the following: freeze-thaw cycles (-20°C to room temperature, 5 cycles) and shaking. Less (150 rpm for 1 week) was added to the composition filled in a 2 mL vial. Buffering agent No related effects of type were observed. Figure 16 shows the selected quality attributes.

[0169] 1.2.4 Example 6: Antibody concentrations within the tested range have little effect on stability. The effect of secukinumab concentration on the liquid composition quality attributes was investigated at 124.5–175.5 mg. The evaluation was performed within the range of / mL. The composition was 200 mM treyl in a histidine buffer at pH 5.8. It also contained halos, 5 mM L-methionine, and 0.02% polysorbate 80. The product was filled into PFS and stored for 6 months under long-term and accelerated conditions. Related species: Sekukinuma Quality attributes (purity by SEC, purity by RP-HPLC; purity by CEX, free S) (H group, biological activity, sub-invisible particles due to light-darkening, visible particles, turbidity and color of solution) This was monitored after 3 and 6 months of storage. 25 mg / ml ~ 150 mg / ml Within this range, no related effect of secukinumab concentration on the liquid composition quality attributes was observed. (Data not shown).
