New production and purification techniques have been developed to enable the production of large quantities of highly purified monoclonal antibodies. However, difficulties remain in stabilizing these antibodies for transport and storage, and even more so in providing the antibodies in a pharmaceutical form suitable for administration. Denaturation, aggregation, contamination, and particle formation can be significant obstacles in antibody formulation and storage. Due to the wide variety of antibodies, there are no universal conditions or formulations suitable for storing all antibodies. The optimal conditions and formulations for storing an antibody are often specific to that antibody. Therefore, antibody formulations and storage methods are often a significant part of the research and development process for a commercial antibody. Several methods have been proposed to address the difficulties associated with antibody stability. For example, in some cases, the antibody is often lyophilized and then reconstituted shortly before administration. However, reconstitution is not ideal.

The data support a target of 0.006% PS-20 and an acceptable range of 0.002–0.01% PS-20 in PFS. The vials are shown as a worst-case comparison. Figure 18 compares various SVP methods for capturing an increase with sampling time, which correlates with visible particles. Flow cytometry and small particle counts (>1 and >2 pm) by MFI can capture the trend well.

For example, an anti-IL5R antibody will bind immunospecifically to an interleukin-5 receptor-like polypeptide and will not bind specifically to other polypeptides. Preferably, the antibodies or antibody fragments that bind immunospecifically to an IL-5 receptor have a higher affinity for an IL-5 receptor or an IL-5 receptor-like polypeptide fragment compared to their affinity for other polypeptides or fragments of other polypeptides.The affinity of an antibody is a measure of its binding to a specific antigen at a single antigen-antibody site and is essentially the sum of all the attractive and repulsive forces present in the interaction between the antigen-binding site of an antibody and a particular epitope. The affinity of an antibody for a particular antigen (e.g., an IL-5-like polypeptide or a fragment of an IL-5-like polypeptide) can be expressed by the equilibrium constant K, defined by the equation K = [Ag Ac] / [Ag] [Ac], which corresponds to the affinity of the antibody's binding site, where [Ag] is the concentration of free antigen, [Ac] is the concentration of free antibody, and [Ag Ac] is the concentration of the antigen-antibody complex. When the antigen and antibody react intensely with each other, there will be very little free antigen or free antibody, and therefore the equilibrium constant or antibody affinity will be high.High-affinity antibodies are found in which there is a good fit between the antigen and the antibody (for a discussion regarding antibody affinity, see Sigal and Ron ed., 1994, Immunology and Inflammation: Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Consequences, McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, pp. 56–57; and Seymour et al., 1995, Immunology: An Introduction for the Health Sciences, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Australia, pp. 31–32). Preferably, antibodies or antibody fragments that bind immunospecifically to an IL-5-like polypeptide or a fragment thereof do not cross-react with other antigens. That is, antibodies or antibody fragments that bind immunospecifically to an IL-5-type polypeptide or a fragment thereof with higher energy than to other polypeptides or fragments of other polypeptides (refer, e.g., to Paul ed., 1989, Fundamental Immunology, 2nd ed., Raven Press, New York). (See pages 332-336 for a discussion of antibody specificity). Antibodies or antibody fragments that bind immunospecifically to an IL-5-like polypeptide can be identified, for example, by immunoassays such as radioimmunoassays (RIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and BIAcore assays, or other techniques known to those skilled in the art (refer, e.g., to Seymour et al., 1995, Immunology - An Introduction for the Health Sciences, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Australia, pages 33-41 for a discussion of various assays for determining antibody-antigen interactions in vivo). Antibodies or antibody fragments that bind immunospecifically to an IL-5-like polypeptide or a fragment thereof only antagonize an IL-5-like polypeptide and do not significantly antagonize other activities. In one embodiment, an IL-5R-like polypeptide is human IL-5R, an analogue, derivative, or fragment thereof. The nucleotide sequence of human IL-5R can be found in the GenBank database (see, for example, Registry No. M96652.1). The amino acid sequence of human IL-5R can be found in the GenBank database (see, for example, Registry No. Q01344). Each of these registry numbers is expressly incorporated herein by reference. C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ In some embodiments, the antibody formulation comprises an anti-IL5R antibody, for example, a human anti-IL5R antibody. In some embodiments, the anti-IL5R antibody comprises a light chain comprising SEQ ID NO: 2 and a heavy chain comprising SEQ ID NO: 4. In some further embodiments, the anti-IL5R antibody comprises a light chain variable region comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 and a heavy chain variable region comprising SEQ ID NO: 3. In one further embodiment, the anti-IL5R antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region, wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences according to the Kabat numbering system of SEQ ID NO: 5-7, and wherein the light chain variable region comprises the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences according to the Kabat numbering system of SEQ ID NO: 8-10.Those knowledgeable in the technique could easily identify the CDRs according to the Chothia, Abm or other numbering systems. In one embodiment, the anti-IL5R antibody is benralizumab. Information regarding benralizumab (or fragments thereof) for use in the methods provided herein can be found in the publication of United States Patent Application No. US 2010 / 0291073 A1, the description of which is incorporated herein in full by reference. The term "analogue" or "analogue of an antibody," as used herein in the context of an antibody, refers to a second antibody, i.e., an antibody analogue, which has similar or identical functions to the antibody, but does not necessarily comprise a sequence of amino acids similar or identical to that of the antibody, nor does it have a structure similar or identical to that of the antibody. An antibody having a similar amino acid sequence refers to an antibody analogue that satisfies at least one of the following criteria: (a) an antibody analogue having an amino acid sequence with an identity of at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or at least 99% with respect to the amino acid sequence of the antibody;(b) an analogue of the antibody encoded by a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes under rigorous conditions with a nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody of at least 5 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 10 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 15 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 20 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 25 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 40 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 50 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 60 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 70 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 80 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 90 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 100 contiguous amino acid residues, at least 125 contiguous amino acid residues, or at least 150 amino acid residues contiguous; and (c) an antibody analogue encoded by a nucleotide sequence having at least 30%, at least 35%, or at least one identity; 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% of the nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody. An antibody analog with a structure similar to that of the antibody refers to a proteinaceous agent that has a secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure similar to that of the antibody. The structure of an antibody or an antibody analog can be determined using methods known to those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, peptide sequencing, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, and crystallographic electron microscopy. To determine the percentage of identity between two amino acid or nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison (e.g., gaps can be introduced into the sequence of a first amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment with a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position.The percentage of identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., % identity = number of identical overlapping positions / total number of positions x 100%). In one modality, the two sequences have the same length. Determining the percentage of identity between two sequences can also be done using a mathematical algorithm. A non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for comparing two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul, 1990, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268, modified as in Karlin and Altschul, 1993, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA Science 90:5873-5877. A C7QC Ln / I 7P7 / B / YILI algorithm of this type is incorporated in the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403. Nucleotide searches can be performed in BLAST with the parameters of the NBLAST nucleotide program set, e.g., for a score = 100 and a word length = 12, in order to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention. Protein searches can be performed in BLAST with the parameters of the XBLAST program set, e.g., for a score = 50 and a word length = 3, in order to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein molecule of the present invention. In order to obtain gap alignments for comparative purposes, Gapped BLAST can be used as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. Science 25:33893402.Alternatively, PSI-BLAST can be used to perform an iterated search that detects distant correlations between molecules (Id). When using the BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI-BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used (refer, e.g., to the NCBI website). Another preferred, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for sequence comparison is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, 1988, CABIOS 4:11-17. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0). C7QC Ln / Lznz / E / YILI is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. In some embodiments, the antibody in the antibody formulation is purified before being added to the antibody formulation. The terms isolate and purify refer to separating the antibody from an impurity or other contaminants in the composition in which the antibody resides, e.g., a composition comprising host cell proteins. In some embodiments, at least 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 99.9% (w / w) of an impurity is purified from the antibody. For example, in some embodiments, the purification of the antibody, e.g., an anti-IL5R antibody, would comprise separating the antibody from 99% (w / w) of the host cell proteins originally present in the composition. In some modalities, the terms isolate and purify refer to separating an antibody, e.g., an anti-IL5R antibody, from an impurity or other contaminants in the composition to a degree that conforms to the guidelines of a governmental organization, e.g., the World Health Organization or the Food and Drug Administration. C7QC Lh / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ Foods from the United States. Those skilled in the technique will be familiar with antibody purification methods. Suitable purification techniques include various types of chromatography, such as affinity chromatography, hydrophobic interaction, ion exchange (such as cation exchange chromatography or mixed-mode chromatography), and filtration. Affinity chromatography refers to a separation method in which an antibody, by virtue of its specific binding properties, binds to a ligand with affinity for the antibody. The functional affinity ligand can be immobilized on a solid or semisolid support, such that when a composition comprising the antibody is passed through the ligand and the solid support, the antibody, having a specific binding affinity for the ligand, adsorbs to the ligand, and one or more different impurities do not adsorb (or bind with lower affinity) and are separated from the antibody. Examples of impurities that do not normally bind (or do not bind well) include process-related impurities (e.g., host cell proteins, DNA, medium components) and some product-related impurities (e.g., antibody fragments).In some embodiments, the solid support comprising the ligand is washed one or more times with a buffer to remove additional impurities before the adsorbed antibody is released from the ligand and support. After one or more impurities have been removed, the adsorbed antibody can be released (eluted) from the ligand and support, resulting in the isolation of the antibody from the original composition. The methods for releasing the antibody from the ligand and support depend on the ligand and are known to those skilled in the art and may include, for example, changes in the environment, such as pH, the addition of chaotropic or denaturing agents, or the addition of elution lamps that can be purchased from commercial suppliers. In some embodiments, more than one purification process may be employed on an antibody composition.Various affinity ligands are known in the technique, including protein A and protein G (and combinations thereof). Immobilized ligands are commercially available. For example, protein A affinity systems include MabSelect, MabSelect SuRe, MabSelect Xtra, MabSelect SuRe LX, Sepaharose CL-4B, ProSep vA, ProSep vA Ultra, and Ceramic HyperD. Ion-exchange chromatography includes cation-exchange chromatography and mixed chromatography. Cation-exchange chromatography refers to any method by which an antibody and some C7QC Ln / įZРZ / B / YILI Impurity or impurities can be separated based on charge differences using a cation exchange matrix. A cation exchange matrix generally comprises covalently bonded, negatively charged groups. Strong or weak cation exchange resins can be employed. Typically, strong cation exchange resins comprise supported organic groups consisting of sulfonate or sulfonic acid groups, depending on the pH. Weak cation exchange resins typically comprise supported organic groups consisting of carboxylate or carboxylic acid groups, depending on the pH. In certain embodiments, multimodal cation exchange resins can be used, which incorporate additional bonding mechanisms as well as additional ionic interactions, for example, one or more hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.Examples of suitable cation-exchange resins are well-known in the art and may include, but are not limited to, a Fractogel matrix, carboxymethyl (CM), sulfoethyl (SE), sulfopropyl (SP), phosphate (P), and sulfonate (S), PROPAC WCX-10™ (Dionex), Capto S, S-Sepharose FF, Fractogel EMD SO3M, Toyopearl Megacap II SP 550C, Poros 50 HS, and SP-Sepharose. In some formulations, more than one cation-exchange chromatography process may be employed in the composition. Mixed-mode chromatography refers to a method that C7QC Ln / I 7P7 / B / YILI uses more than one form of interaction between the stationary phase and the analytes in order to achieve their separation from impurities (e.g., process-related impurities such as host cell proteins, DNA, and / or endogenous or adventitious viruses). Examples of suitable anion-exchange matrices are known in the technique and may include, but are not limited to, Capto Adhere, Sartobind Q, Natrix Q, Chromasorb Q, and Mustang Q. In some modalities, additional filtration stages can be used to remove impurities. For example, nanofiltration or ultrafiltration is used in some modalities. Nanofiltration involves passing the composition through a matrix with a pore size of, for example, less than 75 nm, less than 50 nm, or even less than 15 nm, to separate impurities, such as viruses, from the antibody. Commercial nanofilters and ultrafilters that can be used are produced by various suppliers, such as Millipore Corporation (Billerica, Mass., for example, Viresolve Pro and Viresolve Pro+), Pall Corporation (East Hills, NY), GE Healthcare Sciences (Piscataway, NJ), and Sartorius Corporation (Göttingen, Germany).

In some embodiments, the antibody formulation has not been subjected to freezing temperatures and / or has not been frozen, i.e., it has been maintained in a liquid state. In some embodiments, the antibody in the antibody formulation has not been lyophilized. The term "stability," as used herein, generally refers to maintaining the integrity or minimizing the degradation, denaturation, aggregation, or unfolding of a biologically active agent such as a protein, peptide, or other bioactive macromolecule. The expression "enhanced stability," as used herein, generally refers to the fact that, under conditions known to cause degradation, denaturation, aggregation, or unfolding, the protein (e.g., an antibody such as an anti-IL5R antibody), peptide, or other bioactive macromolecule of interest maintains greater stability compared to a control protein, peptide, or other bioactive macromolecule. In some formulations, stability refers to an antibody formulation with low to undetectable levels of particle formation. C7QC Ln / I 7P7 / B / YILI, as used herein, refers to samples containing less than 30 particles / ml, less than 20 particles / ml, less than 20 particles / ml, less than 15 particles / ml, less than 10 particles / ml, less than 5 particles / ml, less than 2 particles / ml, or less than 1 particle / ml, as determined by HIAC analysis or visual examination. In some modalities, no particles are detected in the antibody formulation, either by HIAC analysis or visual examination. In some modalities, stability refers to reduced antibody fragmentation. The expression "low to undetectable levels of fragmentation," as used herein, refers to samples containing an amount equivalent to or greater than 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, or 99% of the total protein, for example, in a single peak determined by HPSEC or in two peaks (e.g., light and heavy chains) (or as many peaks as there are subunits) by reduced capillary gel electrophoresis (rCGE), representing the undegraded antibody or an undegraded fragment thereof, and containing no other individual peaks containing more than 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of the total protein in each of them.The expression reduced gel capillary electrophoresis, as used herein, refers to gel capillary electrophoresis under reducing conditions sufficient to reduce disulfide bonds in an antibody. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the stability of a protein depends on characteristics other than the formulation composition. For example, stability can be affected by temperature, pressure, humidity, pH, and external forms of radiation. Thus, unless otherwise specified, the stability referenced herein is considered to be measured at 5 °C, one atmosphere of pressure, 50% relative humidity, pH 6.0, and normal background radiation levels. The stability of the antibody in the antibody formulation can be determined using various methods. In some modalities, antibody stability is determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). SEC separates analytes (e.g., macromolecules such as proteins and antibodies) based on a combination of their hydrodynamic size, diffusion coefficient, and surface properties.Thus, for example, SEC can separate antibodies in their natural three-dimensional conformation from antibodies in various states of denaturation and / or antibodies that have been degraded. In SEC, the stationary phase is generally composed of inert particles packed in a dense three-dimensional matrix inside a glass or steel column. The mobile phase... The stationary phase can be pure water, an aqueous buffer, an organic solvent, mixtures of these, or other solvents. The stationary phase particles have small pores and / or channels that allow only species smaller than a certain size to enter. Consequently, large particles are excluded from these pores and channels, while smaller particles are removed from the mobile phase flow. The time particles remain immobilized in the stationary phase pores depends, in part, on the depth to which they have penetrated the pore. Their removal from the mobile phase flow causes their elution from the column to take longer, resulting in particle separation based on size differences. In some modalities, SEC is combined with an identification technique to identify or characterize proteins or protein fragments. Protein identification and characterization can be performed using various techniques, including, but not limited to, chromatographic techniques, e.g., high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), immunoassays, electrophoresis, ultraviolet / visible / infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, surface-amplified Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, static light scattering (SLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), urea-induced protein unfolding techniques, tryptophan intrinsic fluorescence, differential scanning calorimetry, and / or protein binding to ANS. In some methods, protein identification is performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Experts in the technique are familiar with various instruments and apparatus for performing HPLC. Generally, HPLC involves introducing a liquid solvent containing the protein of interest into a separation column, where the separation takes place. The HPLC separation column is packed with solid particles (e.g., silica, polymers, or sorbents), and the sample mixture is separated into its constituent compounds as it interacts with the column particles. HPLC separation is affected by solvent conditions (e.g., pressure, temperature), chemical interactions between the sample mixture and the liquid solvent (e.g., hydrophobicity, protonation, etc.), and chemical interactions between the sample mixture and the solid particles packed within the separation column (e.g.,, ligand affinity, ion exchange, etc.) . In some modalities, SEC and protein identification take place in the same instrument or simultaneously. For example, SEC and HPLC can be combined, C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠZΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ which is often called SE-HPLC. In some embodiments, the aqueous formulation comprises from approximately 2 mg / ml to approximately 100 mg / ml of antibody, wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region, wherein the heavy chain variable region comprises the sequences CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 according to the Kabat numbering system of SEQ ID NO: 5-7, and wherein the light chain variable region comprises the sequences CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 according to the Kabat numbering system of SEQ ID NO: 8-10, wherein the formulation is stable after storage at approximately 40°C for at least 1 month.

Specifically, two antibody concentration-independent formulations were developed: a 2–20 mg / mL formulation and a 20–100 mg / mL formulation. 1. Materials and methods a. Source of anti-IL5R antibody and preparation of formulations Multiple lots of anti-IL5R antibody were used in these studies. All lots were produced at various scales by MedImmune and dispensed after diafiltration and concentration to approximately 130 g / L in 20 mM histidine / histidine HCl at pH 6. The same lots also contained 250 mM trehalose in the diafiltration buffer. Anti-IL5R antibody was formulated by performing known additions in excipient addition buffer (EAB) to achieve an anti-IL5R antibody concentration of 100 g / 1 and C7QC Ln / įZРZ / B / YILI appropriate concentrations of buffer species and excipient. Lower concentration pharmacological substances were prepared from the 100 g / 1 formulation. 2. Accelerated stress methods a. Storage at elevated temperature Vials and syringes were stored in controlled stability chambers to maintain a constant temperature during storage. The chambers were maintained at 2–8°C, 23–27°C / 60% RH, or 38–42°C / 75% RH, but will be referred to by their midpoint temperatures of 5°C, 25°C, or 40°C hereafter. Vials were stored upright unless otherwise specified, and pre-filled syringes were stored with the tip pointing downwards. b. Freeze-thaw cycles Both controlled and uncontrolled freeze-thaw cycles were used in these studies. Uncontrolled freeze-thaw cycles were performed by freezing the vials in a -40°C chamber and thawing them at room temperature. c. Transport and agitation A variety of methods were used to investigate the effect of transport on the anti-IL5R antibody. Vials were shaken on a workbench using orbital shaking at 150 rpm for 24 hours. Actual transport was simulated by sending the product to an external location. The C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ product made two round trips and was transported by air and land over 4 days. A combination of frozen and chilled packages was used to maintain the product temperature at 2-8°C, and it was monitored by sensors that indicated temperatures below 0°C or above 9°C. For selection studies, transport was simulated using a vibration table (transport simulator). The product was subjected to air and ground transport in a pattern similar to that experienced during a round-trip shipment. The process lasted 12 hours, and the temperature was again controlled with cold packs to maintain 2–8°C; no sensors were used. Horizontal orientation was chosen as the worst-case orientation during actual or simulated shipping due to the potential for bubble formation during transit and the possibility of the drug coming into contact with the entire barrel, needle tip, and cap. 3. Experimental methods a. Methods that follow or are derived from a SOP Visual inspections were performed, comparing with particle and opalescence patterns. Aggregation and fragmentation were monitored by SE-HPLC. For anti-IL5R antibody concentrations below 10 g / L, a larger injection volume was used to achieve a mass of C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠZ / Β / YILI total protein similar by injection. Some samples were also used for cIEF and RP-HPLC measurements to monitor fragmentation. b. Protein concentration The protein concentration was measured by diluting the protein using serial gravimetric dilution to approximately 0.5 g / L and measuring the absorbance at 280 nm. The concentration was calculated from the extinction coefficient and the dilution factor, and corrected for the density effect in gravimetric dilution for initial concentrations above 50 g / L. c. Subvisible particle count Subvisible particle counts were performed using both MFI and HIAC. For MFI, 0.9 mL of solution was processed neat after optical illumination was treated with water. The first 0.2 mL were used to purge the system and were not included in the analysis. An aspect ratio filter of <0.85 was used to remove spherical air bubbles or silicone oil droplets. For HIAC, solutions with concentrations >5 g / L were diluted to approximately 5 g / L, while diluted samples were processed neat. Dilution was performed in a laminar flow hood using 20 mM, pH 6, histidine / histidine HCl buffer, which was filtered immediately before use. Samples were degassed under vacuum for at least 30 minutes. C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YILI minutes before testing. The average of three runs was multiplied by the dilution factor to obtain the final result. Silicone oil droplets were indistinguishable from protein particles by HIAC. 4. Data and discussion a. Examination of the concentration of polysorbate-20 The first objective was to optimize the concentration of PS20 in the aqueous antibody formulation. Polysorbate was included in the solutions to protect the protein from denaturation and aggregation at contact surfaces, and it was determined that the required concentration would differ in the liquid product compared to the lyophilized product. The main interfacial tensions were encountered during freeze-thaw and transport, so the experimental design focused on mimicking these stresses. Previous experience indicated that 0.02% polysorbate 20 was sufficient to provide complete protection against both of these stresses (data not shown). As a verification, these stresses were combined sequentially, in the order expected for clinical production, and an incubation period was added after each stress to allow for the growth of any potential particles.First, the drug substance was subjected to three uncontrolled freeze-thaw cycles, and the material was filtered and loaded into vials. These were then shaken on the workbench and incubated for one week. The sample was heated to 40°C before testing by SE-HPLC and MFI. The test conditions were the extremes of the concentration range, 2 and 100 g / L, formulated in 240 mM trehalose, 20 mM histidine / histidine HCl, pH 6 with varying PS-20 levels of 0-0.03% w / v. The results are shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4. Monomer fraction data indicated that the 2 g / L solution remained pure regardless of the polysorbate level, but that low amounts of polysorbate-20, below approximately 0.005%, caused a small amount of aggregation at 100 g / L. However, these results alone did not indicate that the solution was on the verge of failure. The stresses used were intense, and the level of degradation minimal; therefore, any PS20 level tested could be adequate from an SEC aggregation perspective. At 2 g / L, subvisible particle counts were quite high and were not controlled by polysorbate-20 in the tested range. At 100 g / L, high subvisible particle counts were controlled by the presence of 0.003% or more PS20. Taken together, these data indicated that PS20 levels should be kept at or above 0.003%. An alternative method of controlling subvisible particles for low concentration solutions was required, as discussed below. b. pH test The effect of solution pH was studied in 2, 20, and 100 g / L solutions with pH values ranging from 5 to 7.5. The rest of the formulation was kept constant and included 240 mM trehalose, 20 mM histidine / histidine-HCl, and 0.02% PS-20. Solutions were prepared and stored at 40°C for one month prior to testing. Monomer loss was assessed for all samples by SE-HPLC, subvisible particles by MFI, and visible particles by visual inspection. Additional tests were performed on the 100 g / L samples, including RP-HPLC and cIEF. The results are presented in Figures 5 and 6. Aggregation and fragmentation were minimized within the pH range of 5.5–6.5. cIEF results were consistent with the reference standard at pH 7.0 and above. Subvisible particle counts were either low or showed no pattern with the solution pH. Visible particle scores were higher starting at pH 5.5–6.5. Although these scores are high, the samples were inspected near light, whereas higher particle counts are routinely observed. It was possible that the source material also contributed to the high particle levels, as it had reduced HCP levels due to further purification from protein A. This study indicated C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 100 that an optimum pH from a particle formation perspective would be pH 5 or pH . However, since it is understood that visible particle scores are overestimated in this case, the pH was not changed from pH 6.0 as a result of this study. c. Effect of the shipment The formulations needed to be robust for shipping, so they were tested at various protein and PS-20 concentrations in pre-filled syringes. The formulation with 2–100 g / L of anti-IL5R antibody and 0–0.05% PS-20 was tested under other constant conditions at 240 mM trehalose, 20 mM histidine / histidine HCl, and pH 6. Several other conditions at 2 g / L were tested, including glycine, calcium chloride, pH 5.5, pH 6.5, and 0.02% polysorbate-80. None of these conditions showed improvement over the trehalose formulation at pH 6 with polysorbate-20, so they are not discussed further. One milliliter of sample was loaded into a platform PFS containing 0.4 mg of silicone oil. The samples were shipped, stored at 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C, and tested over two months using visual inspection, MFI, and HIAC. The results are presented in Figure 7. The graph shows the subvisible particle counts from MFI after 1 month of storage at 25°C. C7QC Ln / I 7Π7 / Β / YILI 101 HIAC or after storage at other temperatures showed trends similar to the dataset shown. Visual inspections did not indicate high counts of visible particles for any of the samples except the one containing calcium chloride. The high protein concentration solutions (4–20 g / L) were robust against shipping as long as some PS20 was present. Therefore, the trehalose formulation was used in long-term stability studies for the 20–100 g / L solution. The shipping data confirmed that the low-concentration formulations were not robust, as evidenced by the high and highly variable subvisible particle counts. The data also showed that the problem was not resolved by using polysorbate alone; therefore, it was necessary to reformulate the low-concentration solutions. d. Reformulation of low concentration DS Low-concentration reformulation tests were stress-tested using simulated transport and tested using MFI. The subvisible particle counts shown were >10 pm particles, filtered aspect ratio; similar trends were observed for other particle sizes. During manufacturing, an unformulated drug substance (UDS) will be produced and frozen at high C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 102 concentration (k 100 g / L) containing trehalose. Storage of this high-concentration intermediate is necessary to allow dilution into various formulations across the 2100 mg / mL formulation range. Dilution of the UDS will result in some residual trehalose; for compositional uniformity, a single trehalose concentration will be used throughout the low-dose range. The AMP and pH were not changed. The first test was used to determine the minimum protein concentration at which the trehalose formulation was stable, and to determine the effect of increased ionic strength by formulating in 150 mM trehalose with 75 mM arginine HCl or sodium chloride. The results shown below indicate that protein concentrations > 10 g / L were stable, but for robustness, the low concentration range was set at 2–20 g / L. Increasing the ionic strength resulted in more stable solutions with both excipients. See, for example, Figure 8. The following studies focused on optimizing arginine or NaCl concentrations; a protein concentration of 2 g / L was used as the worst-case scenario for all studies. For each excipient, broad and narrow excipient concentration assays were performed using 0.02% PS-20. The initial arginine assay was performed with varying amounts of trehalose, where the following were prepared: 103 solutions were prepared combining 270 mM arginine with 250 mM trehalose. The aim was to maintain osmolality, but the calculation was performed incorrectly (arginine-HCl is bivalent), so the solutions containing arginine were hyperosmotic. The remaining excipient concentration tests were performed with a constant trehalose concentration of 40 or 50 mM, based on the residual trehalose at 20 g / L after dilution from the 100 g / L stock solution. The results are provided in Figures 9 and 10. Broad arginine and NaCl assays indicate that a higher concentration of arginine (50 mM) or NaCl (75 mM) is necessary to produce a stable formulation. Narrow concentration assays of arginine (75–150 mM) or NaCl (100–200 mM) resulted in low particle counts across the entire range. This suggests that a concentration in the middle of these ranges should produce a robust formulation; 130 mM was chosen to be isoosmotic in combination with 50 mM residual trehalose. The optimization of the PS-20 concentration for the new formulations was verified using the same method. These experiments were performed simultaneously with narrow excipient concentration tests, so a midpoint concentration was used. The conditions under which 104 tests were conducted with 0.01–0.1% PS-20, 115 mM arginine HCl, and 40 mM trehalose, and with 0.01–0.05% PS-20, 150 mM NaCl, and 50 mM trehalose. A couple of samples were tested with 0.02% PS-80, but the counts were higher than the corresponding PS-20 result (data not shown). Particle counts were low for all polysorbate levels tested, indicating that there is no need to change the level from 0.02% in new formulations. See, for example, Figure 11. The results of the reformulations for low concentrations of anti-IL5R antibody indicated that either arginine or NaCl could stabilize the formulation in the short term. The formulations considered were 130 mM arginine HCl or 130 mM NaCl, with 50 mM trehalose, 20 mM histidine / histidine HCl, 0.02% PS-20, pH 6 for protein concentrations of 2–20 g / L. e. Vial and PFS considerations The three formulations developed previously (20-100 mg / ml trehalose, 2-20 mg / ml trehalose / arginine, and 220 mg / ml trehalose / NaCl) were suitable for both vial and PFS configurations. The vial configuration was a 3 cc Schott vial with a West 4432 / 50 stopper. The greatest risk associated with the vial configuration was the level of silicone oil in the stoppers; therefore, long-term stability studies were conducted with 105 plugs that have a higher level of silicone oil (0.039 mg / cm2) than those that will be used generally (0.007 - 0.024 mg / cm2). The syringe tested with the anti-IL5R antibody formulation was the platform syringe, a BD 1 mi length PFS with a clipped tab, a stacked 29G thin wall needle, containing 0.4 mg of Si oil, and covered with a BD260 rigid needle sheath (catalog no. 47363119). f. Long-term stability studies Two long-term stability studies were conducted to verify the decisions made based on the screening studies. Stability study #1 investigated the long-term stability of trehalose and arginine / trehalose formulations in PFS and vials. Additionally, PFS comparisons were performed, which will not be discussed herein. Stability Study #2 was initiated to provide data from another batch of material for the configurations examined in Study #1, and also to investigate the NaCl / trehalose formulation grouping and the impact of fill volume from 1 ml to 1 ml in PFS and vials. i. Stability study no. 1: Stability of PFS presentations of anti-IL5R antibody Stability studies were performed on syringes with C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 106 vials were used as a control. Each formulation pool endpoint was tested in each primary container. The test syringe was the Biotech Hypak™ platform; this is a 1 ml long, virtually tungsten-free glass syringe from BD with a 29G thin-wall needle and 0.4 mg of silicone oil. The vials used were 3 cc Schott vials with West 4423 / 50 stoppers and counterseals. The loaded formulations are as follows: • 2 and 20 mg / ml of anti-IL5R antibody, arginine HCI 125 mM, trehalose 50 mM, histidine / histidine HCI 20 mM, 0.02% PS-20, pH 6; and • 20 and 100 mg / ml of anti-IL5R antibody, trehalose 250 mM, histidine / histidine HCI 20 mM, 0.02% PS-20, pH 6. A. Purity of pre-filled syringe presentations with anti-IL5R antibody There was no significant effect of the primary container on monomer loss for any formulation. Some impact of protein concentration was observed, but the monomer loss rate was consistently low. See Figure 12A. B. Particle analysis of pre-filled syringe presentations with anti-IL5R antibody Particle formation was thought to be the main degradation pathway of anti-IL5R antibodies. C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 107, a method thought to play a major role in determining the appropriate PFS. Measurement of subvisible particles using HIAC showed an increase in the number of particles at the PFS, likely due to silicone oil droplets (see Figures 12B and 12C). However, total particle counts remained well below the USP limits of 6,000 particles >10 pm / mi and 600 particles >25 pm / mi for all configurations. MFI was used as an orthogonal method and showed similar results, although less difference was observed between vessels since silicone oil droplets can be removed by filtering the results in the MFI software. ii. Summary of stability in Hypak™ for Blotech syringes at 5°C Table 1 shows a summary of the stability data (Stability Study No. 1) available for anti-IL5R antibody in Biotech Hypak™ syringes at 5°C for up to 16 months for arginine formulations and 24 months for trehalose formulations. Visually detected particles led to a reduction in PS-20 concentration from 0.02% to 0.006%. No other high risks were identified, although subvisible particle counts were C7QC Ln / I 7Π7 / Β / ΥΙΛΙ variables. 108 TABLE 1 C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ Result range for all tested time points Assay 2 mg / ml Arg 20 mg / ml Arg 20 mg / ml Tre 100 mg / ml Tre Appearance (visible particles, worst observation) < SD 1 = SD 4 = SD 2 < SD 3 HIAC (particles / ml) > 10 pm < 590 < 3,000 < 1,800 < 2,000 > 25 pm < 30 < 20 < 30 < 60 MFI (particles / ml) > 10 pm < 110 < 2,200 < 1,400 < 1,700 > 25 pm < 50 < 100 < 60 < 480* SEC (% mon. loss / year) 0% 0.1% 0.1% 0.2% RP (% fragment) < 2.0% < 1.8% < 1.9% < 1.9% Functional forces using Instron (initial and sliding force) < 6N < 7N < 7N < 12N Bioassay (% of power) 93 116% 92 - 103% 95 111% 88 - 99% Reduced Bichannel Conforms to reference pattern.

Appearance results included particulate matter, which was mitigated by reducing the concentration of 109 PS-20 (covered in a separate report). Subvisible particle results were variable, but no trends were observed. All other results are within expectations for a stable product. * iii. Stability Study No. 2 Stability Study No. 2 was a pooled stability study in pre-filled syringes and vials, designed to decide the low-dose formulation and fill volume, and to verify placebo stability. The previous stability study used to select the PFS had a fill volume of only 1 ml. However, there were several potential benefits to a lower fill volume, including reduced pain at injection, a smaller lump under the skin, faster administration, and less leakage from the injection site. The pooling strategy for the 1 mL fill option consisted of two protein concentration pools: 2–20 g / L for the low dose and 20–100 g / L for the high dose. The same pooling for a h mL fill covered the 1–50 mg dose range and also required a fill volume pool of 100 g / L from -1 mL for the 50–100 mg dose. This is shown graphically in Figure 13 for clarity. In both cases, the lowest dose pool was studied in formulations. C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ 110 based on both arginine and NaCl. The pharmacological substances and loaded placebos were as follows: • All solutions: 20 mM Histidine / Histidine HCl, 0.02% PS-20, pH 6.0 • 2 Arg / 20 Arg: 2 or 20 g / 1 anti-IL5R antibody, 125 mM arginine HCl, 50 mM trehalose • 2 NaCl / 20 NaCl: 2 or 20 g / 1 anti-IL5R antibody, NaCl 130 mM, 50 mM trehalose • 20 Tre / 100 Tre: 20 or 100 g / 1 anti-IL5R antibody, 250 mM trehalose • Arg placebo: 125 mM Arginine HCl, 50 mM trehalose • NaCl placebo: 130 mM NaCl, 50 mM trehalose • Tre placebo: 250 mM Trehalose The 1 ml fill volume was not tested for any of the vial configurations or the placebo in PFS in order to reduce the overall study size, since the 1 / 2 ml fill volume was the most likely worst-case configuration due to the higher surface area to volume ratio. All samples were sent and then stabilized at 5, 25, and 40°C. The vials were stored inverted during stabilization to maximize contact with the stopper. By the time the visible particles were discovered in earlier studies, they had C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 111 collected 6 weeks of data for this stability study. Additionally, particulate matter was observed in the NaCl formulation between the 3 and 6 month time points of this study (data not shown), which led to the rejection of the NaCl formulation in favor of the arginine formulation. The additional formulation work required to mitigate visible particle formation is described in the following examples and resulted in a decrease in the polysorbate-20 concentration from 0.02% to 0.006%. No other stability issues were observed for this formulation, and no significant impact of container or fill volume was observed. One year of stability data is summarized in Figure 14, including visible particle scores, loss of purity by SEC, particle counts by HIAC, and potency (not all configurations were tested at all time points). Conclusion of example 1 The formulation was tested using various stress methods, including freeze / thaw, agitation, known silicone oil additions, and accelerated stability testing. Long-term stability was used to verify the test results. The phase trehalose formulation C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 112 2b was satisfactory for high-concentration liquids with an increased polysorbate concentration, but showed instability when extended to low-concentration liquids, mainly through the formation of subvisible particles. The low-concentration range was reformulated by increasing the ionic strength with either arginine hydrochloride or sodium chloride, resulting in a stable solution. In order to cover the wide range of possible doses (2 - 100 mg), the three possible formulation groupings were as follows: • 2-20 g / 1, arginine hydrochloride 130 mM, trehalose dihydrate 50 mM, histidine / histidine hydrochloride 20 mM, 0.02% polysorbate-20, pH 6.0; • 2-20 g / 1, sodium chloride 130 mM, trehalose dihydrate 50 mM, histidine / histidine hydrochloride 20 mM, 0.02% polysorbate-20, pH 6.0; and • 20-100 g / 1, trehalose dihydrate 250 mM, histidine / histidine hydrochloride 20 mM, 0.02% polysorbate-20, pH 6.0. The long-term stability study of up to 24 months indicates that all three formulations were stable at 2–8°C with respect to agitation, relatively insensitive to silicone oil, and compatible with vials and PFS. Additionally, minimal degradation was observed at C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ 113 elevated temperatures. Continuous observations of the two low-concentration formulations eliminated the NaCl option due to increased visible particle formation compared to the arginine option, resulting in two formulation groupings. The data indicated that pre-filled syringes are an acceptable primary container with a fill volume of either 1 ml or 7 ml. Visible particle formation remained an issue with these formulations, as discussed in the following examples. Example 2 - Particle formation in anti-IL5R antibody formulations Visible particles were detected in aqueous anti-IL5R antibody formulations in both vials and PFS in previous long-term stability studies, with the first detection occurring at the 6-month time point (data not shown). A study was conducted to mitigate the formation of visible particles in an anti-IL5R antibody formulation comprising polysorbate 20 (PS-20) stored for an extended period. The following example describes a long-term study of formulations comprising various concentrations of PS-20 and protein to verify the significance of PS-20 concentration in mitigating particle formation. This study resulted in a range C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 114 acceptable from 0.002 - 0.01% of PS-20.

However, the particles were extremely small and resembled a cloud more than individual particles. 115 In order to observe the particles, the samples were inspected near the light source. Since the particles were different from those in the standard sets in the vial and PFS, the samples were compared to each other as standards at each time point. Particles were first detected at the 6-month time point in 100 g / 1 vials of Tre containing 0.02% PS-20. Six-month and 11-month samples were compared in (1) vials and (2) pre-filled syringes (PFS). Both studies showed that particle formation was more intense in vials than in PFS, although PFS standards were not available at the time, so a numerical comparison is not possible. Samples were decanted from the PFS and injected into vials for appearance testing. No more particles were observed in these vials, verifying that the difference is not a path length effect. In trehalose formulations, this difference between vial and PFS is more significant than in arginine formulations. A comparison was made of the various PS-20 concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03%) in 100 g / L Tre formulations, both in vials and as post-shipment PFS. The lower PS-20 concentrations of 0 and 0.01% were completely free of particles. 116 at the 11-month time point. Particles were visible in both the vial and the PFS at 0.02% and 0.03% PS20. At 20 months, the PFS with 0% and 0.01% PS-20 and the vial with 0% PS-20 remained clear, but the vial with 0.01% PS-20 had a very small tornado of particles. In targeted studies, when held near a light source, particles were clearly visible in 100 g / L Tre PFS vials containing 0.02% PS-20, in some cases as early as 3–4 months. At the low concentration end (20 g / L) of the Tre pool, particles formed much more slowly and were observed only in vials at 21 months. No particles have been observed in PFS containing 20 g / L Tre at any PS-20 concentration, with data available up to 21 months. Particle formation in arginine formulations was somewhat slower, with particles observed at the high concentration end (20 g / L) of the pool containing 0.02% PS-20 at 6–9 months. Particles have never been observed in the 2 g / L Arg formulation at any PS-20 concentration in any container, with data available up to 16 months. Stress and accelerated temperature studies provided no data on particle formation. At 40 °C, no particles formed at all during the 3-month testing period. At 25 °C, particle formation 117 particles was similar or slightly reduced compared to 5 °C. These data indicated that the high protein concentration extremes of the pool were at high risk of visible particle formation, while the low concentration extremes were potentially at long-term risk. Reducing the PS-20 concentration to mitigate particle formation was investigated. The primary vessel remained the platform PFS, and vials were used as an early readout of particle formation since particle formation in vials was more intense and easier to observe. Investigation of various concentrations of PS-20 An extensive stability study was designed to investigate particle formation in various formulations, PS-20 concentrations, and antibody concentrations. All samples were loaded into both PFS and vials, shipped twice to a separate location to simulate the distribution process, and placed in stability conditions at 5 °C. Appearance testing was performed monthly. SEC, HIAC, and MFI tests were also performed on a subset of samples at time zero, 3, 6, and 9 months. Figure 15 shows the samples that were prepared as part of this study. Without any PS-20, subvisible particles formed 118 after shipment, as shown by the MFI data in Figure 16 for PFS at time zero. The lowest tested level of PS-20 (0.002%) or higher was sufficient to protect against shipping stress. Additionally, the lowest PS-20 concentration (0.002%) was verified to be sufficient to protect against DS shipping stress in a tank using a reduced-scale model (data not shown herein). The particle appearance results showed significant particle formation in vials above 0.01% PS-20, and some particle formation in PFS at 0.02% PS-20 for both formulation groups, with fewer particles observed at the lower concentration end of both groups. See Figures 17A-17D. The first particle observations were at 3 months for 100 g / L of Tre and at 6 months for 20 g / L of Arg. The figures illustrate the impact of protein and PS-20 concentration on particle formation at the final time point, 9 months. Note that all particle formation observations were made close to the light source. Appearance data establishes an upper limit on PS-20 concentration of 0.01% and subvisible particle counts establish a lower limit of 0.002% (based on available data, the actual limit C70C Ln / ί7Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ 119 may be lower). The midpoint of this acceptable interval (0.006%) was established as the new PS-20 concentration. Global stability for PFS was verified for end-group samples, including up to 9 months of data for 2 g / L Arg and 20 g / L Arg, and up to 18 months of data for 20 g / L Tre and 100 g / L Tre. The following assays were tested: A. 0.002, 0.006 and 0.01% of PS-20: Appearance, HIAC, MFI and SEC. B. 0.006% PS-20 only: Instron, BioAssay, BioAnalyzer, RP and cIEF. All data indicate that the formulation was stable and low-risk. A summary of the data is shown in Table 2.

Example 3 Orthogonal methods for particle detection The primary method for particle detection and quantification was appearance testing by visual inspection, as exemplified in Example 2. Visual inspection was variable for several reasons. In general, visual inspection varied due to the inherent variability of human perception, leading to different results for different individuals. Due to the very small size of these particles, their visibility was highly dependent on the amount of light and differed from the particle patterns for both vials and PFS. These factors 121 increased the variability of results between time points and between analysts. Orthogonal methods were investigated to verify the appearance results. The particles formed in the trehalose formulations were too small to be seen individually, so subvisible particle methods were investigated. The worst-case sample (100 g / L of Tre, 0.02% PS-20, vial) from various batches was compared at 2 weeks, and 2, 5, and 9 months using DLS, FC, HIAC, and MFI. The DLS was performed at 100 g / L, leading to an underestimation of the main peak, as expected, and a lack of reliability in all peak sizes. Large peaks were detected for the 2, 5, and 9-month samples, with a size of 1.4–2.2 µm. Although the reported size was unreliable, the presence of the peaks correlated with visible particles. However, neither the reported particle size nor the intensity of the particle peak correlated with the visual appearance results. The HIAC results were similar for all samples; no particles were detected. MFI counts for particles >10 µm and >25 µm were similar across all samples. However, MFI counts for particles >1 µm and >2 µm, as well as FC counts, showed a trend consistent with the visual appearance results. 122 and increase with the age of the sample. The results of these samples are shown in Figure 18. Additional experiments indicate that >lpm particles using MFI provide more reliable trends with visual appearance results than larger particles or FC counts (data not shown). Similar experiments were performed with 20 g / L samples of Arg showing visible particles, but none of the orthogonal methods were satisfactory for detecting these particles. The particles formed in arginine formulations appeared much larger than those formed in trehalose and were observed as individual particles, which was likely because they were not detected by subvisible particle methods. MFI was used to verify the effect of PS-20 concentration in Example 2. The comparison of MFI and appearance scores is shown in Figures 19A and 19B for Example 2 at the 9-month time point. Along with additional measurements (not shown), the comparison indicated that particles were visible when the MFI count exceeded approximately 100,000 particles >lpm / mi. The MFI results provided further support for the conclusion that particle formation was mitigated by 0.002–0.01% PS-20, particularly in PFS. Vial data were considered the worst-case scenario and were also C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 123 stable at the target concentration of 0.006% PS-20. Example 4 Stability study An additional stability study was conducted to investigate all configurations from previous studies with the new target PS-20 concentration of 0.006%, and to further enhance the stability of these formulations. The grouping included a protein concentration group as well as a fill volume group and is shown graphically in Figure 20. The addition of the fill volume grouping increased the dosage range covered by the trehalose formulation. These additional configurations reduced the risk associated with the arginine formulation, which had a higher risk because the particles form more slowly and cannot be detected by orthogonal methods. The samples included in this stability study were: • 0, 2 and 20 g / 1, 1 ml fill, arginine formulation, 0.006% PS-20; • 0 and 2 g / 1, 0.3 ml fill, arginine formulation, 0.006% PS-20; • 0, 20, 50 and 100 g / 1, 1 ml fill, trehalose formulation, 0.006% PS-20; and • 0 and 20 g / 1, 0.3 ml fill, trehalose formulation, 0.006% PS-20. C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 124 The samples were sent to an external location twice to simulate the distribution process and then placed in stability at 5°C, 25°C and 40°C. Nine months' data were collected for the arginine formulations, and twelve months' data were collected for the trehalose formulations. The results were consistent with historical data, and no particulate matter was observed in these samples up to this point. Furthermore, no trends in subvisible particulate matter were observed over time, although a few moderately high outliers were found. The range of results for all assays is shown in Table 3.

The data supported the recommendation of this formulation grouping for the entire dosage range. The trehalose grouping had less risk than the arginine grouping and was recommended for doses as low as 6 mg. Conclusion of examples 2-4 Particle observations in previous long-term stability studies led to an investigation 126 formulation variables that could be altered to improve stability were analyzed and tested. The key variables, protein and polysorbate concentrations, were analyzed and tested. Based on the data presented above, a permissible polysorbate range of 0.002% to 0.01% and a target of 0.006% were determined to be optimal formulations for the anti-IL5R antibody formulation. This observation was supported by two stability studies with 18 and 12 months of available data, primarily through visual appearance tests. It was also observed that the trehalose formulation could be used instead of the arginine formulation in the 6–20 mg range using a volume pool of 0.31.0 mL at 20 mg / mL. The trehalose formulation was found to be more predictable than the arginine formulation due to the larger dataset and better detection. Example 5 Further purification was undertaken, focusing on the reduction of the host cell protein (HCP), to determine the effect of HCP on particle formation. Anti-IL5R antibody was purified as briefly described in Figure 21. Two-dimensional gel analysis of the unretained fraction of the protein A column indicated that they were C7QC Ln / ίZΖΠΖ / Β / YΙΛΙ 127 Several protein species were present. See, for example, Figure 22. The major impurities, as determined by reversed-phase mass spectrometry (RP-MS), included approximately 60% Fab fragment, approximately 5% light chain (LC) and fragments, and approximately 40% host cell proteins (HCPs) unrelated to anti-IL5R antibody. The HCPs unrelated to anti-IL5R antibody included glutathione Stransferase (GST), fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, and transaldolase. The unretained fraction from the protein A column was further passed through a protein L column to further separate (1) the Fab fragments from (2) the HCPs unrelated to anti-IL5R antibody. Some material in the HCPs unrelated to anti-IL5R antibody was found to be responsible for particle formation, and not the Fab fragments (data not shown). To determine that the major HCPs were responsible for particle formation, GST was investigated first. The role of GST in particle formation was investigated by (1) selective removal of GST to determine the effect on particle formation, (2) particle sediment analysis to determine the presence of GST in the sediment, and (3) addition of GST to anti-IL5R antibody formulations to 128 determine the effect on particle formation. Preliminary evidence of specific GST removal using an affinity matrix from a glutathione-sepharose conjugate suggested that GST removal resulted in reduced particle formation (data not shown). Analysis of sediments formed from the non-retained fraction of protein A indicated high GST concentrations in the sediments (data not shown). GST (i.e., known additions) was added to purified, particle-free anti-IL5R antibody formulations to determine the effect of GST on particle formulations. GST was obtained from a commercial source (Prospec). GST was added to a formulation comprising 50 mg / mL anti-IL5R antibody, 20 mM histidine HCl buffer, 9% (w / v) trehalose, 0.02% PS-20, pH 6.0, resulting in GST concentrations of 3.8 pg / mg and 7.6 pg / mg. Samples were incubated at 38–42°C. Particle formation was observed by placing the samples in a light box. The incubation time required to observe particle formation depended on the level of GST present. For GST samples with known additions of both 3.8 pg / mg and 7.6 pg / mg, particles were observed after 24 hours at 38-42°C (data not shown). These results suggested that the known additions C7QC Ln / Lznz / E / YILI 129 of GST to anti-IL5R antibody formulations causes particle formation in the anti-IL5R antibody formulation. Example 6 The activity of GST was investigated in various anti-IL5R antibody formulations purified by different methods. As a preliminary step, a GST activity assay (BioVision) was used to determine GST concentrations and establish a standard curve. GST catalyzes the formation of the thiol group of glutathione (GSH) with electrophilic compounds such as 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) to form a GS-DNB conjugate that is detectable at 340 nM. Therefore, the increase in absorbance at 340 nM is directly proportional to GST activity. Using this assay, the GST concentration was determined for various anti-IL5R antibody formulations (AJ samples) purified by different procedures. The correlation between GST concentration and particle formation was observed. The results are presented in Table 4.

LLOQ = lower limit of quantification. This evidence confirms that the presence of GST is correlated with particle formation. Example 7 Various purification columns were investigated to identify the most effective method for reducing the GST concentration in an anti-IL5R antibody formulation. See Table 5.
