Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention generally relates to formulations containing anti-IL-23p19 antibodies such as risankizumab, which bind to the p19 subunit of human IL-23. More specifically, it discloses pharmaceutical formulations containing high concentrations of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody risankizumab, and related products and uses for treating various diseases and conditions. This document discloses stable liquid pharmaceutical formulations containing 150 mg / ml of the antibody risankizumab. Prior Technology
[0002] Human IL-23 is composed of a common subunit (p40) with IL-12 and a unique p19 subunit. Regardless of this shared p40 subunit, the functions of IL-23 and IL-12 are completely different. IL-12 is crucial for the Th1 response by promoting Th1 cell differentiation, proliferation, and activation. In contrast, IL-23 supports the development and maintenance of a group of CD4+ T helper cells called Th17 cells, because these cells have the ability to produce IL-17 and related cytokines. IL-23 is involved in chronic autoimmune inflammation, and the regulation of IL-23 activity provides effective therapies for autoimmune diseases.
[0003] One of the autoimmune diseases in which IL-23 plays a major role is psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by the overproliferation of keratinocytes and infiltrative T lymphocytes that overexpress pro-inflammatory mediators. This disease is a chronic, painful, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with a lifelong remission and relapse process characterized by variable factors that trigger exacerbations in susceptible individuals, making treatment challenging. Uncontrolled inflammation in psoriasis can lead to common comorbidities, including cardiovascular (CV) diseases (including hypertension and an increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and CV death), obesity, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and chronic kidney disease. Psoriasis is also associated with serious psychiatric comorbidities, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies, as well as substance abuse.
[0004] A highly effective and specific inhibitor of IL-23 is the antibody risenosumab. Risenosumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23, humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). Risenosumab's binding to IL-23 p19 inhibits IL-23-induced and maintains the activity of T helper (Th) 17 cells, innate lymphocytes, γδT cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, which cause tissue inflammation, destruction, and abnormal tissue repair. Risenosumab is particularly effective in treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, specifically psoriasis. Clinical studies have revealed excellent safety and efficacy of risenosumab in the treatment of plaque psoriasis. The approved recommended dose for the treatment of psoriasis is 150 mg, administered subcutaneously twice daily at weeks 0, 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter.
[0005] Larger drug volumes present challenges, especially in patients with chronic conditions whose drug compliance and duration of action are significantly lower than those in patients with acute conditions. Subcutaneous administration is preferred for therapeutic indications requiring home (self-)medication, such as chronic diseases like psoriasis. However, subcutaneous administration is limited by injection volume, which can be attributed to tissue back pressure and injection pain. This also depends on the compound being administered. Most drugs, such as risenolimumab, are administered subcutaneously in unit doses not exceeding 1 ml. Therefore, for larger volumes, such as greater than 2 ml, multiple injections are usually used, but this method may increase the rate of attrition or reduce patient compliance.
[0006] Therefore, to allow for the administration of high doses of antibodies such as risenosumab in a single injection, pharmaceutical formulations with increased antibody concentrations are required. However, increasing the antibody concentration in antibody formulations can cause stability problems, such as aggregation leading to high molecular weight species (HMWS) formation and increased viscosity. Therefore, providing stable, high-concentration liquid antibody formulations suitable for non-enteral administration, such as subcutaneous injection, presents a significant challenge.

[0017] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 897,930, filed on September 9, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0018]
[0150] [] [mg] [ / ] [ml] [Antibody formulations and related morphologies] [] According to the first state sample, a liquid pharmaceutical formulation containing 150 mg / ml anti-IL-23p19 antibody is provided, wherein the antibody contains the light chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and the heavy chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2.
[0019] Based on this first-state sample, a liquid pharmaceutical preparation comprising the following is provided: a) 150 mg / ml anti-IL-23p19 antibody, wherein the antibody comprises the light chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and the heavy chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2; b) Polyols; and c) Surfactants. The formulation based on this first-state sample may additionally contain d) a buffer. Furthermore, the present invention provides a buffer-free formulation containing 150 mg / ml of antibody. As disclosed herein, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation based on the first-state sample is stable.
[0020] Based on the second state of this first state sample, a stable liquid pharmaceutical formulation comprising the following is provided: a) 150 mg / ml anti-IL-23p19 antibody, wherein the antibody comprises the light chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and the heavy chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2; b) Tension regulators; and c) Surfactants, The formulation has a pH of 5.5-5.9 and is isotonic. The stable formulation of this second state may additionally include d) a buffer.
[0021] The formulation of this invention contains a high antibody concentration of 150 mg / ml. Regardless of this high antibody concentration, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation of this invention is stable and advantageously provides long-term stability. Furthermore, the formulation of this invention addresses the core dispensing challenges of high-concentration antibody formulations suitable for injection by providing, in particular, suitable viscosity and good injectability, thus making the formulation of this invention particularly suitable for injections such as subcutaneous injections. These advantageous properties of the formulation are demonstrated in examples. The formulation according to the first state addresses the challenges of formulation injection by providing a stable and robust formulation containing 150 mg / ml of antibody, thereby enabling the subcutaneous administration of a 150 mg dose of antibody using only a target volume of 1 ml.
[0022] As disclosed herein, the formulation according to the first state sample can be provided in the form of a buffer-free formulation or a buffer-containing formulation. According to a core embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation according to the first state sample includes d) a buffer. In another embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation does not contain a buffer as an additive.
[0023] Subsequently, the components of the 150 mg / ml antibody formulation according to the first state sample are described in further detail. Specifically, suitable embodiments and features of components a), b), c), and d), as appropriate, contained in the formulations according to the first and second state samples are disclosed.
[0024] [a)] [Antibody] [] The antibody contained in the formulation comprises the light chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and the heavy chain amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2. SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The light and heavy chains of the antibody risankizumab correspond to the light and heavy chain sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2. According to one embodiment, the antibody has the same light and heavy chains as the antibody risankizumab (see INN risankizumab, WHO Drug Information, Vol. 29, No. 2, 2015), and the antibody is referred to herein as risankizumab. Advantageously, the present invention provides a stable, high-concentration liquid pharmaceutical formulation of the antibody risankizumab approved for the treatment of psoriasis. The entire disclosure provided herein is specifically incorporated into and applied to the antibody risankizumab contained in the disclosed formulation. Rissenkiumab can be produced recombinantly in various host cells, and the cells suitable for recombinant antibody production are known in this technology.
[0025] In one embodiment, the antibody is recombinantly produced in mammalian cells. Suitable mammalian cells are those known in the art and include rodent and human cell lines. In one embodiment, the antibody has been recombinantly produced in hamster cells. In one embodiment, the antibody has been recombinantly produced in CHO cells.
[0026] [] [Components] [b] [)] [] The first-state formulation of the 150 mg / ml formulation contains a polyol as component b). Suitable polyols that can be used as excipients in pharmaceutical formulations are known in the art and are described herein.
[0027] The formulation of the second state of the 150 mg / ml formulation according to the first state sample contains a tension modifier as component b). The tension modifier is a reagent suitable for adjusting the tension of the formulation. Tension modifiers that can be used to adjust the tension of pharmaceutical formulations are compounds known in the art and include compounds such as salts and, in addition, polyols such as sugars and sugar alcohols. Therefore, the tension modifier used as component b) in the 150 mg / ml stable formulation according to the second state sample can be a polyol, as is the case with component b) in the 150 mg / ml formulation according to the first state sample. According to one embodiment, the tension modifier contained in the stable liquid formulation according to the second state sample is therefore a polyol, which may be a sugar and / or sugar alcohol.
[0028] As used herein, the term "polyol" refers to a substance having multiple hydroxyl groups and includes sugars (reducing and non-reducing sugars) and sugar alcohols. A polyol may contain at least three, at least four, or at least five hydroxyl groups. In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the polyol is ≤ 600 Da (e.g., in the range of 120 Da to 400 Da). "Reducing sugar" is a sugar containing a free aldehyde or ketone group that can reduce metal ions or covalently react with lysine and other amino groups in proteins. "Non-reducing sugar" is a sugar lacking a free aldehyde or ketone group and not oxidized by a mild oxidizing agent such as Fehling's solution or Benedict's solution. Examples of reducing and non-reducing sugars suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations are known to those skilled in the art. Non-reducing sugars include, for example, sucrose and trehalose. As disclosed herein, the use of trehalose is particularly useful. Examples of sugar alcohols suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations are known to those skilled in the art and include, for example, mannitol and sorbitol. Polyols can be used as tensioning agents in formulations.
[0029] Polyols can function and can be used as tension modifiers to regulate tension. For example, some polyols in sugars can also act as stabilizers, thereby supporting the stability of the formulation provided.
[0030] As disclosed herein, the polyol may be selected from sugars and sugar alcohols. Furthermore, as shown in the examples, combinations of two or more different polyols may be used as component b). As shown in the examples, sugars and sugar alcohols, and combinations thereof, may be advantageously used in 150 mg / ml formulations of the present invention. According to one embodiment, the polyol is selected from trehalose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, and combinations thereof. According to one embodiment, the formulation contains only a polyol selected from sugars and / or sugar alcohols as component b). According to one embodiment, the formulation contains only a single polyol as component b).
[0031] In certain embodiments, the polyol is a sugar. The polyol may be selected from trehalose and sucrose. As shown in the examples, the formulation may contain trehalose as a polyol, and the use of trehalose is advantageous. Trehalose may be used alone or in combination with another polyol, such as another sugar or sugar alcohol. According to certain embodiments, the formulation contains only a single sugar, such as trehalose, as a single polyol. Using a single polyol as an excipient, for example, to adjust tension, may be advantageous.
[0032] According to one embodiment, the polyol is a sugar alcohol. The sugar alcohol may be selected from sorbitol and mannitol. In one embodiment, the formulation contains mannitol as a polyol. In another embodiment, the formulation contains sorbitol. As disclosed herein, mannitol and sorbitol can be used as single polyols or in combination with each other or with different polyols such as sugars or other sugar alcohols.
[0033] Sorbitol can be used to provide the stable formulations of the present invention. In some embodiments, sorbitol-free formulations are provided. Sorbitol-free formulations are advantageous for patients with hereditary fructose intolerance. In a particular embodiment, therefore, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation does not contain sorbitol. In some embodiments, the formulation does not contain sugar alcohols.
[0034] As demonstrated in the examples, mannitol and / or trehalose can be used as polyols in the formulations of this invention to adjust the desired osmotic weight molar concentration. However, the amount of mannitol in a 150 mg / ml formulation is limited by the solubility of mannitol and the amount of stock solution that can be added during the formulation steps. Therefore, in the examples, mannitol is used in combination with sugars such as highly soluble trehalose. Trehalose has been found to be advantageous for the antibody formulations disclosed herein because its solubility is sufficient to achieve isotonic formulations with one excipient. Therefore, in some embodiments, trehalose is used as a polyol and may be the sole polyol in the formulation used to adjust isotonicity.
[0035] Polyols can be used to adjust the osmolar concentration. In examples, the osmolar concentration of the formulation is in the range of 200 mOsm / kg to 400 mOsm / kg, such as in the range of 225 mOsm / kg to 375 mOsm / kg. In examples, the osmolar concentration is in the range of 250 mOsm / kg to 350 mOsm / kg, such as in the range of 275 mOsm / kg to 330 mOsm / kg or 290 mOsm / kg to 320 mOsm / kg. The formulation may be isotonic, where "isotonic" means that the formulation of interest has an osmotic pressure substantially the same as that of human blood. The osmolar concentration can be measured, for example, using a vapor pressure or cryo-osmometer.
[0036] The concentration of polyols in the formulation may be at least 80 mM or at least 95 mM. In examples, the concentration of polyols in the formulation is at least 115 mM, at least 125 mM, at least 135 mM, at least 140 mM, at least 150 mM, or at least 160 mM. In examples, the concentration of polyols in the formulation is ≤ 500 mM, ≤ 450 mM, or ≤ 400 mM. As disclosed herein, two or more polyols may also be used as excipients (b). As disclosed herein, in a core embodiment, the polyol is a sugar used at this concentration. In one embodiment, the sugar is trehalose. The same applies to the tension modifier used as component (b) in the formulation according to the second state sample. As disclosed herein, the tension modifier may be a polyol.
[0037] According to the first state sample, specifically the first and second state samples, the polyol concentration in the formulation can be in the range of 95 mM to 400 mM, such as 95 mM to 300 mM or 95 mM to 250 mM. Exemplary concentration ranges of polyols in the formulation include, but are not limited to, 125 mM to 250 mM and 125 mM to 225 mM. In one embodiment, the polyol concentration in the formulation is in the range of 125 mM to 225 mM. In another embodiment, the polyol concentration is in the range of 145 mM to 225 mM. As disclosed herein, in a core embodiment, the polyol is a sugar used at such concentrations as described herein. In one embodiment, the sugar is trehalose.
[0038] According to one embodiment, the polyol is a sugar, and the sugar concentration is in the range of 125 mM to 250 mM, 150 mM to 250 mM, 150 mM to 200 mM, or in the range of 160 mM to 200 mM. In another embodiment, the sugar concentration is in the range of 170 mM to 200 mM. The concentration may be 185 mM. In one embodiment, the sugar is trehalose. Therefore, this document also discloses liquid pharmaceutical formulations comprising 150 mg / ml antibody and 185 mM of trehalose as a polyol. Trehalose may be added, for example, in the form of trehalose dihydrate.
[0039] [c)] [Surfactants] [] The liquid formulation according to the first state sample further includes a surfactant. As shown in the examples, it is advantageous to incorporate a surfactant into the 150 mg / ml formulation. The formulations of the first and second states of the 150 mg / ml formulation according to the first state sample include a surfactant as component c).
[0040] According to one embodiment, the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant. Nonionic surfactants suitable for pharmaceutical formulations are known in the art and are also described herein. At least one surfactant may be a polysorbate (e.g., polysorbate 20) or poloxamer (e.g., poloxamer 188). Combinations of surfactants may also be used. In a core embodiment, the surfactant is a polysorbate. The nonionic surfactant may be selected from polysorbate 20 and / or polysorbate 80. Combinations may also be used. In one embodiment, the surfactant is polysorbate 20. In one embodiment, the formulation of the present invention comprises a single surfactant, such as a single nonionic surfactant, for example, a single polysorbate.
[0041] In one embodiment, the surfactant concentration in the formulation is at least 0.05 mg / ml. The concentration may be at least 0.075 mg / ml. As demonstrated in the examples, even low amounts of surfactant provide benefits. In the embodiments, the surfactant concentration in the formulation is at least 0.1 mg / ml, at least 0.125 mg / ml, at least 0.15 mg / ml, at least 0.175 mg / ml, or at least 0.185 mg / ml. In the embodiments, the surfactant concentration in the formulation is ≤ 1 mg / ml, and may be ≤ 0.75 mg / ml or ≤ 0.5 mg / ml. In the embodiments, the surfactant concentration in the formulation is ≤ 0.4 mg / ml, ≤ 0.3 mg / ml, or ≤ 0.25 mg / ml. As disclosed herein, the surfactant may be a nonionic surfactant. As disclosed herein, in core embodiments, the surfactant is a polysorbate, which may be selected from polysorbate 20 and / or polysorbate 80. In the embodiments, the surfactant is polysorbate 20. Polysorbate 20 may advantageously be used at concentrations as shown in the examples and disclosed herein.
[0042] The concentration of the surfactant in the formulation may range from 0.05 mg / ml to 0.75 mg / ml. Exemplary concentration ranges of the surfactant in the formulation include, but are not limited to, 0.05 mg / ml to 0.5 mg / ml, 0.075 mg / ml to 0.4 mg / ml, or 0.075 mg / ml to 0.3 mg / ml. In examples, the surfactant concentration in the formulation ranges from 0.05 mg / ml to 0.5 mg / ml, 0.075 mg / ml to 0.3 mg / ml, or 0.1 mg / ml to 0.3 mg / ml. The surfactant concentration in the formulation may be 0.2 mg / ml. As disclosed herein, the surfactant may be a nonionic surfactant. In core embodiments, the surfactant is a polysorbate, which may be selected from polysorbate 20 and / or polysorbate 80, depending on the specific circumstances. In the embodiments, the surfactant is polysorbate 20, which can be advantageously used in the concentration ranges shown in the examples.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the formulation of the present invention comprises 0.2 mg / ml of polysorbate 20 as a surfactant. This formulation may contain a sugar as component b), wherein the sugar concentration is in the range of 95 mM to 250 mM, 125 mM to 250 mM, or 145 mM to 225 mM. The sugar contained may be trehalose.
[0044] [, , ] [pH] In the core embodiment, the pH of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation, which is an aqueous formulation, can be in the range of pH 5.0 to 7.5, such as pH 5.0 to 7.0.
[0045] The pH of the liquid pharmaceutical preparation may be ≤ 6.8, such as ≤ 6.7, ≤ 6.6, ≤ 6.5, ≤ 6.4, ≤ 6.3, or ≤ 6.2. In embodiments, the pH of the liquid pharmaceutical preparation is ≤ 6.1, such as ≤ 6.0 or ≤ 5.9. In embodiments, the pH of the liquid pharmaceutical preparation is ≥ 5.2, such as ≥ 5.3, ≥ 5.4, or ≥ 5.5. Exemplary pH ranges for liquid pharmaceutical preparations with pH ≥ 5.2 include, but are not limited to, 5.2 to 6.8, such as 5.2 to 6.7, 5.2 to 6.6, 5.2 to 6.5, 5.2 to 6.4, 5.2 to 6.3, and 5.2 to 6.2. Examples of pH ranges for liquid pharmaceutical formulations with pH ≥ 5.3 include, but are not limited to, 5.3 to 6.8, such as 5.3 to 6.7, 5.3 to 6.6, 5.3 to 6.5, 5.3 to 6.4, 5.3 to 6.3, and 5.3 to 6.2.

Examples of pH ranges for liquid pharmaceutical formulations with pH ≥ 5.5 include, but are not limited to, 5.5 to 6.8, such as 5.5 to 6.7, 5.5 to 6.6, 5.5 to 6.5, 5.5 to 6.4, 5.5 to 6.3, and 5.5 to 6.2. Examples of pH ranges for liquid pharmaceutical formulations with pH ≥ 5.6 include, but are not limited to, 5.6 to 6.8, such as 5.6 to 6.7, 5.6 to 6.6, 5.6 to 6.5, 5.6 to 6.4, 5.6 to 6.3, and 5.6 to 6.2. In other embodiments, the pH of the formulation is in the range of 5.6 to 6.0 or 5.6 to 5.9.
[0046] According to one embodiment, the pH of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation is in the range of 5.2 to 6.5. As can be seen from the examples, lower pH values showed less aggregation during stability and physical stress studies.

[0051] As disclosed herein, the pH of the stable liquid pharmaceutical formulation according to the second state sample is 5.5 to 5.9. It can be in the range of 5.5 to 5.8. In the examples, the pH of the 150 mg / ml stable formulation according to the second state sample is 5.7.
[0052] [, , ] [d] [)] [Buffer] [] The 150 mg / ml antibody formulation according to the first state sample can be provided in a buffer-free formulation or in a buffer-containing formulation. According to a core embodiment disclosed herein, the pharmaceutical formulation includes d) a buffer. Compared to a buffer-free formulation, the buffer-containing formulation showed less increase in slip force (maximum and average) in experiments. Therefore, the buffer can be used as component d) in both the first and second state formulations of the 150 mg / ml rissonitumol antibody formulation according to the first state sample.
[0053] Buffers can be used to maintain the solution pH of liquid pharmaceutical formulations. Suitable buffers for pharmaceutical formulations are known in the art and described herein. Buffers may be organic buffers. According to one embodiment, the buffer has a pKa at 25°C within 1.5 or 1 pH unit of the final pH of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation. In some embodiments, the buffer has a pKa at 25°C in the pH range of 4.2 to 7.2 or 4.5 to 7. Buffers may comprise a combination of buffers. In one embodiment, a single buffer is used as component d) in the formulation.
[0054] The formulation may contain a carboxylic acid buffer as buffer d).
[0055] According to one embodiment, the buffer is selected from acetate buffers and succinate buffers. As shown in the examples, formulations containing such buffers provide advantageous stability characteristics for the high-concentration antibody formulations provided herein. In another embodiment, the buffer is a histidine buffer.
[0056] In one embodiment, the buffer is an acetate buffer. The acetate buffer may contain sodium acetate and acetic acid. Other acetates may also be used in the acetate buffer.
[0057] Other buffers that can be used include, but are not limited to, citrate, glutamate, glycine, lactate, maleate, phosphate, or tartrate buffers.
[0058] The presence of buffer salts can support the stability of the antibody contained in the rissenkiramab according to the present invention.
[0059] According to one embodiment, the buffer d) included in the formulation is not a succinate buffer. In some embodiments, the formulation does not contain a succinate buffer. In some embodiments, a single buffer, such as an acetate buffer provided by acetate (e.g., sodium acetate) and acetic acid, is used.
[0060] The amount of buffer used is included to maintain the selected pH of the formulation under storage conditions for the product's shelf life.
[0061] The liquid pharmaceutical formulations disclosed herein may contain at least 1 mM buffer, at least 2 mM buffer, or at least 3 mM buffer. The buffer concentration may be at least 4 mM, at least 4.5 mM, or at least 5 mM. In embodiments, the buffer concentration is 100 mM or less, such as 75 mM or less or 50 mM or less. In embodiments, the buffer concentration in the formulation is 80 mM or less, such as 75 mM or less, 70 mM or less, 60 mM or less, or 50 mM or less.

Antibodies at 150 mg / ml having the light and heavy chain sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 have high buffering capacity. As also shown in the examples, storage-stable buffer-free formulations can be provided based on the disclosures provided herein.
[0071] In this embodiment, the pH of the buffer-free formulation is in the range of pH 5.2 to pH 6.5. The pH may be in the range of 5.2 to 6.2 or 5.5 to 6.2. In one embodiment, the pH is 5.7. In another embodiment, the pH is 6.2.

[0074] [Additional components may be selected depending on the circumstances] [] In one embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention comprises an amino acid as another additive. Suitable amino acids that can be added to the pharmaceutical formulation as excipients are known in the art and are also disclosed in the examples.
[0075] In one embodiment, the formulation comprises an amino acid having charged side chains, and optionally positively charged side chains. An example of such amino acid is L-arginine.
[0076] According to one embodiment, the formulation contains an amino acid, wherein the amino acid is present in the formulation as a salt, or, where appropriate, as a hydrochloric acid (HCl) salt.
[0077] According to one embodiment, the formulation contains methionine. According to one embodiment, the formulation contains the amino acid L-proline.
[0078] According to one embodiment, the 150 mg / ml formulation of the present invention does not contain arginine.

[0079] According to one embodiment, the formulation of the present invention does not contain amino acids with positively charged side chains as excipients. According to one embodiment, the formulation of the present invention does not contain amino acids with charged side chains as excipients. According to one embodiment, the formulation of the present invention does not contain methionine as an excipient. According to one embodiment, the formulation of the present invention does not contain amino acids as additives.
[0080] Other excipients known in this technology can be used in formulations, as long as they do not adversely affect stability.
[0081] However, in some embodiments, the formulations of the present invention do not contain additional excipients. A particular advantage is that the formulations for the storage stability of the antibody rissenzilmab can comprise essentially or consist of: a) the antibody (150 mg / ml); b) a component; c) a surfactant; and d) a buffer, if appropriate. As disclosed herein, advantageously, the formulation may comprise only a single polyol, a single surfactant, and (if present) a single buffer. This provides a non-compound, yet still storage-stable formulation for the 150 mg / ml antibody rissenzilmab formulation.
[0082] [] [Stability Characteristics] [] As disclosed herein, it is advantageous to provide a stable liquid pharmaceutical formulation containing 150 mg / ml of antibody. Providing this stable, high-concentration risenomyzab formulation is particularly advantageous for therapeutic use.
[0083] In this embodiment, a stable antibody formulation is a formulation in which the antibody substantially retains its physical stability and / or biological activity during storage. Various analytical techniques for measuring protein stability are available in this art and disclosed herein. Stability can be measured at a selected temperature over a selected time period.
[0084] Unlike the present invention, the stability characteristics of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation containing 150 mg / ml antibody were tested in examples and showed favorable stability characteristics.
[0085] In embodiments, the stable liquid pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention do not show significant changes at freezing temperatures (2-8°C) for at least 3 months, such as 6 months, 1 year, or even up to 2 years or longer. Stable liquid formulations include those exhibiting the desired characteristics at temperatures including 25°C and 40°C for periods including 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and / or 24 months.
[0086] If an antibody does not show significant aggregation, precipitation, and / or increased denaturation when visually inspected for color and / or clarity, or when measured by UV light scattering, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and / or dynamic light scattering, then the antibody particularly maintains its physical stability in pharmaceutical formulations. Protein conformational changes can be assessed by fluorescence spectroscopy to determine the tertiary structure of proteins and by FTIR spectroscopy to determine the secondary structure of proteins.
[0087] If the antibody's biological activity at a given time is within a predetermined range of the biological activity exhibited when preparing the pharmaceutical formulation, then the antibody specifically retains its biological activity in the pharmaceutical formulation. The biological activity of an antibody can be determined, for example, by antigen-binding assay.
[0088] Aggregates can differ in origin, size, and type. Aggregates that may affect the efficacy or safety of biological products are of particular concern, such as those that can enhance immune responses and may cause adverse clinical effects. High molecular weight aggregates, also known as high molecular weight species (HMWS), may be of particular concern. Aggregates may also potentially affect the subcutaneous bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of therapeutic proteins. Advantageously, the present invention provides formulations in which the amount of high molecular weight species is low, even over extended storage periods. The present invention particularly provides stabilized (or stable) aqueous pharmaceutical formulations, as demonstrated by the reduced amount of aggregates and / or the reduced rate of aggregate formation after storage. As described herein, the stability of such formulations is indicated by the reduced amount of HMWS and / or the reduced rate of HMWS formation over varying time periods and at varying temperatures after storage. Generally, higher stability formulations are associated with lower amounts of HMWS, lower rates of HMWS formation, and / or higher antibody peaks at higher storage temperatures relative to lower storage temperatures. As used herein, the terms "high molecular weight species" or "HMWS" refer to both high-order aggregates of the formulation antibody and low-order aggregates of the formulation antibody. Low-order aggregates include, for example, dimer species. The amount of aggregates and the rate of formation can be measured or monitored using various techniques, including those disclosed in the examples.
[0089] As used herein, the terms "low molecular weight species" or "LMWS" specifically refer to antibody fragments smaller than monomers, including but not limited to free light chains, free heavy chains, molecules containing one light chain and one heavy chain, antibody molecules lacking one or two light chains, and antibody fragments obtained by cleaving one or more polypeptide chains (such as proteolytic fragments) or other antibody molecules degraded enzymatically or chemically.

[0093] In some embodiments, specifically, as described in the examples, the relative amounts of antibodies in monomeric, HMWS, and / or LMWS forms are determined using UP-SEC. For example, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system incorporating a size exclusion chromatography (SEC) column is used in the Acquity UPLC system from Waters (Milford, MA, USA). Protein dissociation by the SEC column can be detected by UV absorption at 280 nm, and the relative amount determination can be performed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of each dissociation peak. Peaks can be assigned to different species based on the dissociation time corresponding to different molecular sizes. To measure the relative monomeric, relative HMWS, and / or relative LMWS content of antibodies in the formulation, the monomeric, HMWS, and LMWS antibodies are specifically separated from each other, even in their presence in the formulation. Specifically, the relative content or amount is indicated as a percentage value, and the sum of the monomeric, HMWS, and LMWS antibodies is 100%.

The decrease in relative main peak variant content and the increase in relative acidic and basic peak group variant content are calculated with respect to the indicated storage time and temperature and are specifically determined by comparing the relative individual peak variant contents at the beginning and end of the indicated storage. In certain embodiments, measurements are performed as described in the examples.
[0097] In some embodiments, specifically, as described in the examples, the relative amounts of antibodies for the dominant peak variant, acidic peak variant, and / or basic peak variant are determined using ion exchange chromatography (IEC). Specifically, weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX) is used. For example, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system incorporating a WCX column, such as the Alliance HPLC system from Waters (Milford, MA, USA), is used. Protein dissociation via the WCX column can be detected by UV absorption at 280 nm, and relative amount determination can be performed by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of each dissociation peak or group of dissociation peaks. Peaks can be assigned to different species based on the antibody species dissociation conditions corresponding to the surface charge of the antibody species. The dominant peak is the largest peak in the IEC chromatogram of the undegraded antibody. For stability analysis, measurements can be performed after preparation of the formulation (TO) and subsequently after the indicated storage time under the indicated storage conditions. The acidic peak group (APG) includes all peaks preceding the main peak. These peaks include variants of the native antibody main peak that are more acidic and / or antibody variants that have a greater negative charge on their surface under chromatographic conditions. The basic peak group includes all peaks following the main peak. These peaks include variants of the native antibody main peak that are more acidic and / or antibody variants that have a greater positive charge on their surface under chromatographic conditions. For measuring the relative amounts of the main peak variant, acidic peak group variant, and / or basic peak group variant of the antibody in the formulation, the main peak is specifically separated from the acidic and basic peak groups, provided they are present in the formulation. Specifically, the relative content or amount is indicated as a percentage value, and the sum of the main peak variant, acidic peak group variant, and basic peak group variant is 100%.
[0098] In some embodiments, the antibodies in the formulations disclosed herein substantially maintain their specific binding activity to human IL-23 during storage. In particular embodiments, the formulations achieve one or more of the following stability characteristics: In some embodiments, after storage at 5°C for 36 months, at least 95% or at least 97% specific binding activity with IL-23 is measured relative to a reference antibody, wherein the reference antibody has not been stored. In some embodiments, after storage at 5°C for 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 months, at least 95% or at least 97% specific binding activity with IL-23 is measured relative to a reference antibody, wherein the reference antibody has not been stored. In some embodiments, after storage at 25°C for 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, or 18 months, at least 93% or at least 96% specific binding activity with IL-23 is measured relative to a reference antibody, wherein the reference antibody has not been stored. In some embodiments, after storage at 40°C for 3, 4, or 6 months, at least 90% or at least 95% specific binding activity with IL-23 is measured relative to a reference antibody, wherein the reference antibody has not been stored. In certain embodiments, the measurement is performed as described in the examples.
[0099] In some embodiments, specifically, as described in the examples, the antibody-specific binding activity to human IL-23 in the formulation is measured using surface plasma resonance, for example, using a Biacore instrument such as the GE Healthcare Life Science (United Kingdom) Biacore T200.
[0100] [] [Based on other characteristics of the first-state liquid pharmaceutical preparation] [] In an advantageous embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention are aqueous formulations. In one embodiment, all liquid formulations disclosed herein are aqueous formulations. Unless otherwise specified, the following description applies to formulations based on a 150 mg / ml first state sample, and therefore also to formulations based on the first and second state samples as disclosed herein.
[0101] According to one embodiment, the measured dynamic viscosity of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation according to the first state sample at 20°C is ≤ 30 mPas (mPa·s), such as ≤ 25 mPas or ≤ 20 mPas. In another embodiment, the measured dynamic viscosity of the formulation at 20°C is ≤ 18 mPas, such as ≤ 16 mPas, ≤ 15 mPas, ≤ 14 mPas, ≤ 13 mPas or ≤ 12 mPas. In a particular embodiment, as also shown in the examples, the dynamic viscosity is the dynamic viscosity to which the formulation is suitable for subcutaneous administration. The dynamic viscosity can be measured as described in the examples.
[0102] According to one embodiment, the conductivity of the formulation of the present invention is in the range of 0.8 to 5 mS / cm. In the embodiment, the conductivity range is 1 to 2 mS / cm or 1.2 to 1.8 mS / cm. In the embodiment, the formulation is characterized in that the conductivity change at 25°C during a storage period of at least 12 months is ≤ 1 mS / cm, such as ≤ 0.75 mS / cm, ≤ 0.5 mS / cm, or ≤ 0.3 mS / cm.
[0103] The liquid formulation of the present invention is a pharmaceutical formulation. A pharmaceutical formulation specifically refers to a composition which is in a form that enables the permitted active ingredient (here, an antibody comprising the light chain as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and the heavy chain as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2) to be effective and does not contain any additional components that are toxic to the individual to which the formulation is administered.
[0104] The formulations disclosed herein, according to the first-state sample, are advantageously suited for non-enteral delivery. Non-enteral administration includes, for example, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intramedullary injection, as well as intrathecal, direct intracerebral or intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intravitreal administration. The drug can be administered in various conventional methods, such as intraperitoneal, non-enteral, intra-arterial, or intravenous injection. In one embodiment, the disclosed formulation is an injectable formulation. In embodiments, the formulations disclosed herein are suitable for subcutaneous, intravenous, or intramuscular administration. Advantageously, the disclosed formulation is suitable for subcutaneous injection. The 150 mg / ml formulation disclosed herein is particularly advantageous because it achieves the overall characteristic of making the formulation particularly suitable for subcutaneous administration. The high concentration allows for the administration of small volumes of formulation while still achieving a high antibody dose (here, for example, 1 ml for a 150 mg dose). Furthermore, the formulations of the present invention exhibit good injectability. Furthermore, as illustrated in the examples, it exhibits favorable viscosity and osmotic molar concentration characteristics and achieves good slippage (maximum and average values), as well as during storage. In the embodiments, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention is isotropic to the desired site of administration. For example, if the formulation is intended for non-enteral administration, it may be isotropic to blood (at approximately 300 mOsm / kg osmotic molar concentration). Suitable osmotic molar concentration ranges are described elsewhere.
[0105] Liquid antibody formulations can be manufactured by taking a drug substance in liquid form (e.g., in an aqueous pharmaceutical formulation) as the final step in a purification process, replacing its buffer, and preparing the desired buffer. The drug substance in the final buffer can be concentrated to the desired concentration or diluted to a more concentrated form of antibody to achieve a concentration of 150 mg / ml. Formulation concentration can be performed by any suitable method. In one state, the concentration process may include ultrafiltration.
[0106] In one core embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation according to the first state is not a formulation prepared by reconstitution of a lyophilized formulation. In this core embodiment, there is no lyophilization step during the preparation of the liquid pharmaceutical formulation. Excipients such as component b) and surfactant c) may be added to the pharmaceutical substance, which may be diluted with an appropriate buffer to a final protein concentration of 150 mg / ml. The pharmaceutical formulation intended for in vivo administration is typically sterile. In some embodiments, this may be achieved by filtration through a sterile filter membrane. Thus, the final formulated pharmaceutical substance may be filtered (e.g., using a 0.22 µm filter) and filled into a final container (e.g., a glass vial or syringe). In this embodiment, the prepared liquid formulation is administered directly to the patient without lyophilization or reconstitution steps. These liquid pharmaceutical formulations are disclosed herein and have also been manufactured and analyzed in examples.
[0107] [Freeze-dried and reconstituted pharmaceutical formulations] [] According to one embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical formulation based on the first state sample is prepared by reconstitution of a lyophilized pharmaceutical formulation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the liquid pharmaceutical composition described herein is a reconstituted formulation. This applies to the first and second state liquid formulations of the 150 mg / ml antibody formulation based on the first state sample.
[0108] The term "lyophilization" or "lyophilized" specifically refers to a process in which the material to be dried is first frozen and then the ice or freezing solvent is removed by sublimation in a vacuum environment. These techniques are well known in this field and are therefore not described in detail herein. Excipients may be included in the pre-lyophilized formulation to enhance the stability of the lyophilized product during storage. The lyophilized formulation may contain cryoprotectants, which generally include agents that provide stability to proteins against freeze-induced stress. They may also provide protection during primary and secondary drying and during long-term product storage. Examples include sugars such as sucrose and trehalose, and surfactants such as polysorbates. The lyophilized formulation may also include lyophilization protectants, which include agents that provide stability to proteins during the drying or dehydration process (primary and secondary drying cycles). This helps maintain protein conformation, minimizes protein degradation during lyophilization cycles, and improves long-term product stability. Examples include polyols, such as sugars like sucrose and trehalose. The disclosed liquid pharmaceutical formulation according to the first state includes excipients qualified as cryoprotectants and / or lyophilization protectants. Therefore, lyophilized formulations can be prepared from such formulations. In one embodiment, the antibody risenkiumab is formulated as a lyophilized powder for intravenous administration for decongestion and utilization.
[0109] "Reconstituted" formulations are prepared by dissolving lyophilized pharmaceutical antibody formulations in a diluent to disperse the antibodies in the reconstituted formulation. Reconstituted formulations are suitable for administration and may be used subcutaneously as appropriate.

[0132] [] [Example] The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.
[0133] [] [I] [.] [Substances and Methods] [] [1] [.] [Preparation of starting materials] [] If necessary, prior to the UF / DF process, the purified rissenzil starting material produced in CHO cells is adjusted to pH 5.9. Finally, the solution is concentrated and the concentrated starting material is used to prepare formulations according to subsequent examples.
[0134] [2.] [syringe] [] Essentially, the storage of the preparation in the syringe is performed using a Neopak syringe with a rubber stopper from Becton Dickinson (USA). These syringes are used to measure loosening force and maximum and average slip force. In this embodiment, a 1 ml Neopak syringe from Becton Dickinson (USA) with a 27.5-gauge needle and a rubber stopper is used.

[0136] The results showed that the development starting point increased with increasing pH until it reached the plateau region. The highest onset temperature indicating high stability was measured at pH values above 5.0 to 7. Therefore, the pH should not be too acidic (˂ 5).
[0137] [2.] [Determination of the buffer capacity of the starting material] [] In particular, the buffer capacity of the antibody starting material was determined to facilitate pH adjustment of the formulation solution for subsequent stability studies and to avoid protein damage. Titrations for determining antibody buffer capacity were performed at the following concentrations: 150 mg / mL; 100 mg / mL; 50 mg / mL (twice); and 20 mg / mL.

[0139] After dilution, transfer 5 mL of each solution to a 10R glass vial using a dropper and titrate. Use 0.2 M NaOH solution for titration (stirring at 250 rpm). Perform titration for each antibody concentration and calculate the amount of NaOH added. Use Excel to calculate as follows: [surface] The slope and its reciprocal are shown in [3].

[0140] Concentration-dependent buffer capacity levels were obtained by plotting a concentration versus slope inverse equation. A straight line with a slope of 0.0505 and a y-intercept of -0.2007 was thus obtained. The results and examples below demonstrate that rissenkiumab itself possesses a considerable buffer capacity, allowing for the preparation of a 150 mg / ml buffer-free formulation of the present invention that does not contain any additional / extra buffering substances.

The laminar flow filling volume was set to 1.1 mL. The syringe was sealed with a stopper and the particles were visually analyzed prior to storage. The syringes were then stored in a suspended syringe tray at their respective temperatures. Buffer solutions were stored concurrently as controls. After formulation preparation, each solution was aseptically filtered and the prepared formulations were stored in syringes (Becton Dickinson (USA) Neopak syringes).

Subsequent peaks increased by approximately 2%-3% over storage time and temperature. The foremost peak increased slightly by 5%-7% over 12 months at 25°C and did not increase over 8 months at 5°C. No differences in the main, subsequent, and foremost peaks were observed between formulations. ● The specific binding activity remained substantially constant over an 18-month storage period and at the different storage temperatures tested, with minimal decreases of only 3% and 1%-2% at 25°C and 5°C for 18 months, respectively. The specific binding activity was in the range of 96%-101%. ● No visible particles were observed.
[0164] [] [1.5.] [Results Overview] [] All five formulations were stable during an 18-month storage period at 25°C and 5°C. However, formulation 4 contained additional additives. Formulation 3 was stable and, in contrast to formulation F4 which contained arginine, did not contain additional additives. Less aggregate formation was observed at a pH of approximately 5.7.
[0165] [2.] [In frozen] [ / ] [Comparison of different characteristics in thawing experiments] [pH] [Value] [Acetate and Succinate Buffer System] [] To analyze whether freezing and thawing of the 150 mg / mL formulation affected the product quality of rissenkiumab, three formulations were filled into small bags with a volume of 10 mL or 14 mL relative to the initial value and then frozen at -40°C. Additionally, one bag was stored at 2°C–8°C. The storage time under both conditions (-40°C and 2°C–8°C) was 3 weeks.
[0166] Freezing was performed using a controlled freezing method. The bag was then transferred to a -40°C freezer and kept frozen for the indicated storage time.
[0167] [2.1.] [Preparation of formulations] [] Each freeze / thaw cycle consisted of freezing in a lyophilizer at -40°C, followed by transfer to a -40°C freezer and thawing in the lyophilizer at a maximum thawing rate of 20°C / min until reaching room temperature after 3 weeks.

[0169] [2.2.] [analyze] [] Samples were thawed directly in a controlled manner using a lyophilizer prior to analysis. HP-SEC analysis was performed to measure protein stability and binding activity.

[0173] [, , ] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] Overall, HP-SEC analysis results demonstrated the stability of all formulations, indicating that they are suitable for freeze / thaw cycles. Some formulations showed better results with higher monomer content and fewer HMW species.
[0174] [2.3.2.] [Measurement of binding activity] [] Binding activity against rhIL-23 was measured using surface plasma resonance (Biacore) measurements. Overall, the binding activity was consistent across all formulations, confirming their applicability. Specifically, binding activity was measured to be between 95% and 110%, with specific binding activity of approximately 100%. Freezing or storage at 2°C–8°C for 3 weeks did not alter the binding activity.
[0175] [] [2.3.3.] [Viscosity Measurement] [] Another important parameter for protein formulations is viscosity, which is preferably not too high to allow for injection of the formulation (e.g., through a needle without excessive force). Therefore, dynamic viscosity is measured.
[0176] The dynamic viscosities of F1, F2, and F3 are very similar, ranging from 8.7 to 10 mPas.
[0177] [] [2.4.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the three formulations tested, and the results are as follows. ● The content of non-visual particles (≥ 25 µm, ≥ 10 µm, ≥ 5 µm) remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The total number of counted particles in all three formulations was substantially the same. ● The osmotic weight molar concentration remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The tested values for the 150 mg / mL formulation ranged from 299 to 321 mOsm / kg. ● Turbidity remained substantially constant at 860 nm and 400–600 nm over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The measured values ranged from 2–7 FNU at 860 nm and 4–13 FNU at 400–600 nm. ● The pH value remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. Therefore, the measured pH values were in the range of 5.7–6.2. ● The conductivity remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. Therefore, the measured conductivity was in the range of 1.3–2.5 mS. ● Protein concentration remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. Small deviations in protein concentration are attributed to analytical variations, resulting in an initial protein concentration of 150 mg / mL ranging from 149 to 157 mg / mL. ● The content of the main peak in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) remained essentially constant over a 3-week period at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The HIC main peak value ranged from 97.1% to 97.7%. The content of both the preceding and following peaks remained essentially constant over a 3-week period at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. ● The concentration of the weak cation exchange (WCX) main peak remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The WCX main peak value ranged from 72.5% to 73.8%. The acidic peak group (APG) and basic peak group (BPG) remained substantially constant over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. No differences were observed in the main peak, APG, and BPG concentrations between formulations. ● Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) analysis showed substantially constant values over 3 weeks at 5°C or -40°C, including freeze / thaw cycles. The undiminished main peak content ranged from 96.7% to 97.6%.
[0178] [] [2.5.] [Results Overview] [] The results of this invention demonstrate the stability of risenosumab provided in different 150 mg / mL formulations during freeze / thaw cycles. A single freeze / thaw cycle at -40°C for 3 weeks or at 2°C–8°C for 3 weeks did not affect the product quality of risenosumab. Therefore, the 150 mg / mL formulation is a suitable concentrate. pH 5.7 appears to perform slightly better compared to other pH values.
[0179] [] [3.] [The comparisons are different] [pH] [Value] [Acetate and Succinate Buffer System] [] Particularly suitable pH values are between 5.2 and 6.2, such as 5.5 to 6.2 or about 5.7. As measured by SEC, higher pH values may lead to increased protein aggregation. Lower pH values may lead to chemical degradation. In previous studies, sorbitol was used to regulate stress. In this invention, trehalose and mannitol were used instead of sorbitol to regulate stress. Seven sorbitol-free formulations were selected and tested under the following three conditions: (i) 5°C for 18 months without monitoring rh; (ii) 25°C / 60% rh for 18 months; and (iii) 40°C / 75% rh for 6 months.

The tested values ranged from 298 to 326 mOsm / kg. ● No visible particles were observed. ● IEC / WCX measurements of formulations stored at 5°C for the tested duration showed the following constant contents: main peak (69.7-72.2%), APG (18-20%), and BPG (8-13%). At 25°C and 40°C, the main peak decreased and the APG content increased in all formulations within similar ranges. At 25°C and 40°C, the BPG content of formulations at pH 6.0 was slightly lower (at most 2%) than that of formulations at pH 5.7. ● Particle counts measured by MFI remained substantially constant over the 18-month storage period and at the different storage temperatures tested. Specifically, for particles ≥ 10 µm and ≥ 25 µm, no corresponding increase in particle count was observed for all formulations at 5°C and 25°C / 60% rh during the storage period. For particles ≥ 2 µm, the particle count increased at 25°C. The increase was within a similar range for all formulations. ● The specific binding activity remained substantially constant over an 18-month storage period and at the different storage temperatures tested. The specific binding activity was in the range of 95%–100%. ● During the 18-month storage period and at 5°C, the loosening force and slip force remained essentially constant. During the storage period at 25°C, the maximum slip force, average slip force, and loosening force increased for all blends. No differences were observed between blends. The maximum slip force ranged from 7.1 to 23.6 N, the average slip force ranged from 6.7 to 20.5 N, and the loosening force ranged from 3.4 to 7.1 N. ● The dynamic viscosity at 20°C remained substantially constant over an 18-month storage period and at the different storage temperatures tested. The dynamic viscosity ranged from 8.3 to 10.7 mPas.

[0198] UP-SEC results showed that, compared to pH 5.7, pH 6.0 caused a slightly higher degradation of rissenzumab in the form of lower monomers and higher HMW (high molecular weight molecular weight) in the tested formulations. Formulations containing L-arginine HCl showed slightly lower degradation as measured by UP-SEC, but increased milky whiteness and a slight increase in LMW content. IEC results showed no significant differences between formulations and were therefore not a decisive factor. The same was true for pH, protein concentration, osmotic weight molar concentration, viscosity, loosening and slipping forces, and both invisible and visible particles.

[0203] [, , ] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] The overall HMW content in all tested formulations remained low, indicating that the high concentrations of formulations used stabilized rissenitumab. UP-SEC results further showed that pH 6.0 caused higher degradation of rissenitumab in the form of lower monomers and higher HMWs compared to pH 5.7. Therefore, pH 5.7 is particularly advantageous for the formulations of this invention. Nevertheless, given the UP-SEC analysis results, formulations such as F4, F5, and F6, with higher pH values of 6.0, also showed generally good efficacy.

[0205] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] The formulations tested exhibited stability throughout the measurement time at all tested temperatures. Therefore, the tested formulations effectively stabilized 150 mg / mL rissenitumumab at high protein concentrations. At higher storage temperatures, a slight increase in the LMW content of the formulation containing L-arginine HCl was observed. This was an unexpected finding, as it is generally known that formulations containing L-arginine further stabilize the formulation. Therefore, in this respect, the 150 mg / mL rissenitumumab formulation differs from other protein formulations. Therefore, the arginine-free formulation of the present invention is preferred.

[0207] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] Overall, the observed lack of increase or only a slight increase in milky white light over time indicates the stability of all tested formulations. Higher milky white light was observed in formulations containing L-arginine HCl (F3 and F5).
[0208] [4.3.] [Results Overview] [] The measured parameters showed that all formulations were suitable for the stable preparation of 150 mg / mL high concentrations of rissentiumab. Long-term stability revealed some differences between the formulations: - UP-SEC showed that pH 6.0 caused higher degradation of rissenkiramab in the form of lower monomers and higher HMW compared to pH 5.7. - Formulations containing L-arginine HCl showed lower degradation, but increased milky whiteness and a slight increase in LMW, as measured by UP-SEC.
[0209] Analyze F2 again after 18 months.
[0210] It is worth noting that formulations F1 and F7 are also stable. Buffer-free formulations and formulations containing more than one type of tonic agent are also stable and therefore suitable for providing formulations containing 150 mg / mL rissenkiramab.
[0211] In summary, formulation F2 was found to be particularly stable in terms of measured LMW and HMW levels and milky light, indicators of excellent stability. This result was quite unexpected, as risenosumab is generally known to be used at higher pH values. Therefore, the particularly high concentration of risenosumab shifted the optimal pH to approximately 5.7, which was unexpected. Furthermore, unexpectedly, L-arginine HCl did not cause further stabilization, but actually reduced the formulation stability supported by higher milky light and measured LMW levels. Therefore, the specific characteristics of high concentrations of risenosumab, such as 150 mg / mL, necessitate optimal conditions different from previously known risenosumab formulations.
[0212] [] [5.] [Different when shaken] [pH] [Value] [Acetate and Succinate Buffer System] [] The objective of this invention is to evaluate the effect of shaking stress on the product quality of different 150 mg / mL risenosumab formulations. The ability of different formulations to stabilize risenosumab against shaking stress is tested. Therefore, formulations at 150 mg / mL antibody concentrations are exposed to different shaking stresses.
[0213] Of the eleven formulations with different pH values, the buffers and tonics were filled into 6R vials and 1 mL Neopak syringes equipped with 27.5-gauge needles and shaken at room temperature for 21 days. The corresponding buffer solutions without proteins were also shaken, stored, and analyzed. Shaking conditions: - Shaking temperature: room temperature (approximately 25°C) - Shaking time: 21 days - Shaking type: horizontal shaker (vial), agitator (syringe); shake in the dark.
[0214] To eliminate the impact of temperature as an additional stress on product quality, store the additional vials and syringes at room temperature without shaking.

[0221] [, HP-SEC , ] [, analyze , ] [, , ] The HP-SEC analysis trend is similar to that of the UP-SEC analysis trend, thus confirming these results. Individual values were obtained in the range of 97.4%–98.8%.
[0222] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] Overall, measurements in syringes and vials showed a similar trend and demonstrated that all formulations were stable, with only a slight decrease in monomer content.
[0223] [5.3.2.] [Measurement] [HMW] [content] [] HP-SEC and UP-SEC were used to measure the monomer content of the formulation. HP-SEC was used to determine the level of aggregation (HMW) formation during syringe and vial shaking.
[0224] [, , ] [, UP-SEC , ] [, analyze , ] [, , ] The UP-SEC analysis results are as follows. The data show similar results to the HP-SEC analysis, indicating that aggregate formation is primarily pH-driven. When comparing initial values, it is evident that formulations at pH 6.0 or 6.2 show a slight increase in HMW content of 0.2% to 0.5% compared to the formulation at pH 5.7. This trend was also observed after 21 days of shaking, with HMW content of approximately 1.6% in formulations at pH ≥ 6.0 and 1.3% in formulations at pH 5.7.
[0225] Formulations containing L-arginine, such as F3 and F7, showed the lowest aggregation levels after 21 days of shaking. The differences in monomer content among the eleven formulations tested in this study, observed in UP-SEC and HP-SEC, were not significant. The monomer content loss was within acceptable limits for all formulations tested. In general, it can be summarized as follows: shaking did not significantly increase HMW content compared to results after 21 days without shaking.

[0229] [5.3.3.] [Measuring milky white light and other parameters] [] After 21 days of shaking the syringe on a horizontal shaker and the vial on a vortex shaker, the opalescence, osmotic weight molar concentration, pH, and protein concentration of all tested formulations remained substantially unchanged (see subsequent information).

No significant differences were observed by comparing the data generated from the vial and the syringe.

[0231] [, Binding activity , ] SPR (Biacore) measurements showed that shaking did not affect the molecular binding activity of the syringe on the oscillating shaker or the vial on the horizontal shaker. Overall, the binding activity remained high, in the range of 91%–111%, and the specific binding activity remained in the range of 98%–107%.
[0232] [, Results and Discussion , ] The milky white light ranges from 5 FNU to 14 FNU in formulations without excipients or buffers, but does not increase significantly over time.
[0233] Throughout the study period, the pH, osmotic weight molar concentration, opalescent and protein concentrations, and binding activity against IL-23 remained constant for all formulations.
[0234] [5.4.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the eleven formulations tested, and the results are as follows. The type and duration of shaking, storage, and syringes and vials used are as described above. ● The HP-SEC fragment content remained substantially constant during shaking in vials and syringes. The fragment content ranged from 0.3% to 0.5%. The UP-SEC LMW content remained substantially constant during shaking in vials and syringes. The fragment content ranged from 1.3% to 1.4%. ● Weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX) showed that the percentage distributions of the main peak, APG, and BPG in all formulations tested remained constant throughout the study period. The concentrations of the main peak, APG, and BPG did not change significantly during the shaking time. No differences were observed between the formulations. ● The particle content measured by microfluidic imaging (MFI) remained essentially constant over the 21-day shaking period.
[0235] [5.5.] [Overview] In summary, only minor differences were detected in parameters indicating stability among the formulations exposed to shaking stress. For example, formulations F3 and F7 showed the highest monomer content (HP-SEC and UP-SEC), but also the highest opalescent light level. In summary, the formulations tested in this study are viable formulations.
[0236] [] [6.] [Comparison across multiple freezers] [ / ] [Different in the thawing cycle] [pH] [Value] [Acetate and Succinate Buffer System] [] The freezing and thawing behavior of different 150 mg / mL rissenkiramab formulations and their impact on product quality were evaluated. Therefore, the formulations were exposed to freezing and thawing stress in small bags at a desired target concentration of 150 mg / mL and a fill volume of 12 mL to simulate small-scale or large-scale bag freezing conditions.
[0237] In all eleven formulations with different pH values, the buffering agent and tension agent, along with the intermediate storage block, were filled into small bags with a filling volume of 12 mL, followed by a controlled freezing step to -40°C. The bags were then stored at 5°C. It should be noted that the eleven formulations correspond to the formulations tested in the previous example. [surface]

[0238] The freezing step was performed using a freeze-thaw apparatus provided by a classic freeze-dryer. Here, a small bag with a sample volume of 12 mL was frozen to -40°C using a freezing ramp of 0.5°C / min. The temperature was then maintained constant for sixteen hours to ensure complete freezing of the sample volume. The thawing step was performed according to the freezing procedure, with a heating rate of 0.5°C / min. The holding time at room temperature was set to four hours.
[0239] A complete freeze / thaw cycle (1 × F / T) is defined as follows: 1. Freeze from room temperature to -40°C (0.5°C / min) 2. The holding time at -40℃ is 16 hours. 3. Thaw from -40℃ to room temperature (0.5℃ / min) 4. The time to keep at room temperature is 4 hours.
[0240] This procedure is performed at 1 × F / T, 3 × F / T, and 6 × F / T. After completing the final process cycle, the bag is transferred to a freezer at -40°C and stored until the sample is thawed and analyzed.
[0241] [6.1.] [Preparation of formulations] [] Prepare the formulation as described in the previous example (see [reference]). [surface]
[21] ) Prepare another formulation F12 containing 0.02% PS20 and pH 5.7 without excipients. Fill 12 mL of sterile filtered protein solution into sterile primary packaging material, which is a small 15 mL Flexboy bag, under laminar flow. Inspect all bags for visible particles and record the results.
[0242] In each freeze-thaw operation, twelve bags are placed on trays within the freeze-dryer. A total of 36 bags are used for freezing / thawing, with each operation involving three bags / formulations. The bags are distributed throughout the defined process to eliminate the influence of bag placement within the freeze-dryer.
[0243] [6.2.] [analyze] [] After completing all cycles according to the experimental plan described above, the bags are continuously thawed in an additional thawing step. This procedure has the advantage of allowing simultaneous analysis of samples. The bags are then transferred to a pre-cooled freeze-dryer at -40°C, followed by the thawing step. HP-SEC, UP-SEC, permeate molar concentration, pH, protein concentration, opacity, binding activity, and non-visual particle measurement are performed. The following instruments are used for analysis: - UV-Vis spectrophotometer Solo VPE: Concentration at 280 nm, baseline correction at 320 nm, extinction coefficient: 1.52; C Technologies, Inc., NJ, USA - Milky white light: HACH Lange milky white light meter; filter: 400-600 nm; Hach Lange GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany - Ultra-high efficiency size exclusion chromatography (UP-SEC): UPLC26, H-class UV detection at 280 nm, Waters, Milford, MA - Based on the charge inhomogeneity of weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX): HPLC 75; fluorescence detection: extinction: 278 nm, emission: 350 nm; Waters, Milford, MA - IL-23 binding activity: Biacore T200 chip: CM5 GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, UK - pH meter:SevenGo - Mettler Toledo, Columbus, OH - Particle size analyzer: Micro Flow Imaging™ flow cytometer; utilizing microfluidic imaging (MFI); Brightwell Technologies Inc, Ottawa, ON, Canada - Osmomat 030, Gonotec GmbH, Berlin, Germany: Utilizing freezing point depression.

[0246] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] Data shows that aggregate formation is primarily pH-driven. Comparing results after six freeze / thaw cycles, it is evident that formulations at pH 6.0 or 6.2 exhibit a slight increase in HMW content of 0.2%–0.6% compared to solutions formulated at pH 5.7. Formulations containing L-arginine, such as F3 and F7, showed the lowest aggregation levels after six freeze / thaw cycles. In general, it can be summarized that freezing / thawing stress does not significantly increase HMW content compared to results after 21 days at 5°C.

[0248] [, , ] [, Binding activity , ] SPR (Biacore) measurements of IL23 binding activity showed that freeze / thaw cycles did not affect molecular binding activity. The binding activity ranged from 96% to 117%.
[0249] [, Results and Discussion , ] The measured opalescence is dependent on the formulation. It is independent of stress conditions (F / T and holding time at 5°C), and the pH, osmotic weight molar concentration, opalescence and protein concentration, and IL-23 binding of all formulations remained essentially constant throughout the study period, thus demonstrating stability.

[0251] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] [, , ] While a similar trend for particles ≥ 2 μm was observed, a slight increase in particles ≥ 10 μm was observed in F3, F7, and F9 compared to other formulations. For particles ≥ 25 μm, a slight increase in F3 was observed after 6 × F / T. Overall, particle formation was not a major issue for all tested formulations during the F / T period.
[0252] [6.4.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the twelve formulations tested (freezing / thawing cycles as described above), and the results are as follows. ● Weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX) showed that the percentage distributions of the main peak, APG, and BPG in all formulations tested remained constant throughout the study period. The contents of the main peak, APG, and BPG did not change significantly over six freeze / thaw cycles. The main peak ranged from 65% to 67%, APG from 21% to 23%, and BPG from approximately 11% to 14%. No differences were observed between the formulations.
[0253] [6.5.] [Results Overview] [] The results can be summarized as follows: - Visual inspection: After six F / T cycles, no observation of the entire mixture should be made during the visual inspection period. - SVP: Regarding the content of non-visible particles, there are no major issues that can be observed. Compared with other formulations, F3, F7, and F9 are slightly increased, but significantly lower than the pharmacopoeia specifications. - HP-SEC and UP-SEC: For protein integrity-focused assays such as HP-SEC and UP-SEC, F3 was demonstrated to be the most stable formulation and F4 the least stable formulation. F12, without any buffers or excipients, exhibited acceptable stability during freeze / thaw cycles. - IEC: No difference in formulations was observed for the IEC results. The F / T cycle does not negatively affect the contributions of APG and BPG. - Milky white light: Milky white light depends on the formulation and ranges from 4 FNU to 13 FNU for formulations without excipients or buffers. - Regardless of stress conditions (F / T and holding time at 5°C), the pH, osmotic weight molar concentration, opalescence, protein concentration, and binding of all formulations remained unchanged throughout the study period.
[0254] In summary: For the 150 mg / mL formulation, most of the formulations tested in this example were feasible. Only a minor effect of freezing / thawing stress on protein stability was observed. Due to medical concerns regarding formulations containing sorbitol, these formulations were found to be less beneficial for patients with fructose intolerance. Nevertheless, solutions containing sorbitol were found to be useful for other patients. In conclusion, only minor differences in indicators of stability parameters were detected between formulations exposed to freezing / thawing stress. For example, formulation F3 was the most stable in terms of monomer content (HP-SEC), but conversely, an increase in the amount of non-visible particles was detected.

[0259] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] Monomer content measurements showed that the tested formulations were stable within a pH range of pH 5.0 to 6.2. Therefore, a wide pH range is applicable to obtain highly stable 150 mg / mL rissenitumumab formulations. High monomer values were obtained at a pH of approximately 5.7, while relatively low monomer contents were measured at more acidic conditions such as approximately pH 5.0 (see, for example, the last pH 5.0 measurement point at 25°C or 40°C). Therefore, high-concentration rissenitumumab formulations (here, 150 mg / mL) at a pH of approximately 5.7 are particularly advantageous, especially in the formulations provided in the examples of the present invention.

[0269] [] [, Results and Discussion , ] Combined activity assays showed generally high values for the tested formulations. Therefore, the tested formulations stabilized rissenzilmab to achieve high binding activity in the pH range of 5.0 to 6.2.
[0270] [7.3.7.] [Measurement of milky white light] [] In addition, the milky sheen of the formulation was measured. The milky sheen changed slightly over the analytical time but remained generally highly constant within the range of 3 to 11. The results indicate that the formulation is generally stable. Notably, lower pH values generally show a lower milky sheen than higher pH values (7 to 11 FNU for pH 6.2) (3 to 6 FNU for pH 5.0). An intermediate pH of 5.7 exhibits milky sheen within the range of 5 to 7 FNU, indicating that providing a formulation with a pH of approximately 5.7 is advantageous, especially in formulations according to examples of the invention.

[0272] [, , ] [, Results and Discussion , ] At higher pH values, viscosity measurements reveal slightly higher viscosity. Therefore, lower pH values, such as pH 5.7, can be found to be advantageous for obtaining formulations with lower viscosity. It should be noted that mechanical measurements of slip force and loosening force reveal generally very similar performance.
[0273] [] [7.4.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the six formulations tested, and the results are as follows. Storage time and temperature are as described above. ● Protein concentrations remained substantially constant at different storage temperatures tested at 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C during storage periods of 36, 24, 12, and 3 months, respectively. Small deviations in protein concentrations (145–155 mg / mL (24 months) and 145–158 mg / mL (36 months)) are attributed to analytical variations. ● The pH value remained substantially constant at different storage temperatures tested at 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C during storage periods of 36, 24, 12, and 3 months, respectively. Therefore, the measured pH values were in the range of 4.9–6.3. ● The permeate weight molar concentration remained substantially constant during storage periods of 36, 24, 12, and 3 months at different storage temperatures of 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C, respectively. The tested values ranged from 301 to 323 mOsm / kg. ● During the storage period, the levels of protein-associated particles and foreign particles remained substantially low at the different storage temperatures tested.
[0274] [] [7.5.] [Results Overview] [] Formulations remained stable at all tested pH values over extended storage periods of 24 and 36 months. While temperature appeared to have an effect on stability (i.e., higher temperatures induced more instability-related effects), all formulations exhibited sufficient stability even at high temperatures.
[0275] In summary, a pH of 5.7 and around 5.7 (e.g., 5.5, 5.9) appear to present a favorable trade-off regarding storage parameters under the test conditions used. For example, UP-SEC measurements show intermediate to low HMW and LMW values at pH 5.7, while the highest and lowest pH values each show the highest HMW and LMW contents. Similar results were obtained in IEC and HIC measurements.

[0287] [, Results and Discussion , ] Measurements showed that the osmotic molar concentration varied between approximately 290 and 338 mOsm / kg, depending on the amount of acetate added. The more acetate added, the higher the measured osmotic molar concentration. Typically, an osmotic molar concentration of approximately 310 mOsm / kg is required, and a 10 mM acetate concentration produces the desired osmotic molar concentration of approximately 310 mOsm / kg (measurement range 305 to 314 mOsm / kg) in the tested formulation. In cases where a higher acetate concentration is required, it may be advantageous to modify the content of other compounds in the formulation (e.g., another excipient, such as trehalose) to adjust the osmotic molar concentration to approximately 310 mOsm / kg.

The measured milky white light of the different formulations was generally the same, ranging from 4 to 9 FNU. Compared with the milky white light of lower concentrations of acetate (4-6 FNU for 0 mM acetate), higher concentrations of acetate caused a slightly higher milky white light of 7-9 FNU for 20 mM acetate. Based on the measured milky white light, all formulations according to the examples of the present invention are stable. []

[0292] [, , ] [, Results and Discussion , ] Slip and loosening force tests showed that all formulations were stable, and the slip and loosening forces did not increase significantly over time. Notably, formulations without acetate (F1) or containing very low concentrations of acetate (F2) exhibited higher forces, indicating that the addition of buffers such as acetate is useful, especially when the aim is to minimize the force required for application to the syringe.
[0293] [] [8.4.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the five formulations tested, and the results are as follows. Storage time and temperature are as described above. ● The contents of the IEC main peak, APG, and BPG remained constant at 5°C over 24 and 36 months. No differences in the main peak, APG, and BPG were observed between formulations. ● Within 24 months at 5°C, the HIC main peak content remained constant within the range of 96.8%-97.2%, the HIC pre-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.4%-1.7%, and the HIC post-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.5%-1.9%. Within 36 months at 5°C, the HIC main peak content was obtained within the range of 96.3%-97.2%, the HIC pre-peak content within the range of 1.4%-1.7%, and the HIC post-peak content within the range of 1.5%-2.2%. After storage at 25°C for up to 12 months, the main peak content was obtained between 94.3%-97.1%, the pre-peak content between 1.4%-3.0%, and the post-peak content between 1.5%-2.7%. After storage at 40°C for up to 3 months, the main peak content was obtained between 92.0% and 97.1%, the preceding peak content between 1.4% and 4.6%, and the subsequent peak content between 1.5% and 3.4%. No differences in the main peak, preceding peak, and subsequent peak were observed between the formulations. ● Protein concentrations remained substantially constant at the different storage temperatures tested for up to 24 and 36 months of storage. Small deviations in protein concentration were attributed to analytical variations, resulting in ranges of 147–155 mg / mL (24 months) and 147–157 mg / mL (36 months). ● The dynamic viscosity remained substantially constant for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months at the different storage temperatures tested. The dynamic viscosity ranged from 8.9 to 10.0 mPas. ● During the storage period, the levels of protein-associated particles and foreign particles remained substantially low at the different storage temperatures tested.
[0294] [] [8.5.] [Results Overview] [] The tested formulations showed generally high stability. Therefore, both formulations containing acetate and those without buffers are suitable for the formulations of this invention. Given the force required to be applied to the syringe, solutions containing buffers such as acetate buffers have proven superior to formulations without buffers. Furthermore, to achieve an osmotic weight molar concentration of 310 mOsm / kg, a 10 mM acetate content has proven suitable, taking into account the other compounds present in the formulations according to examples of this invention.

[0299] [] [1.4.] [Results Overview] [] Shaking studies clearly revealed a significant increase in milky whiteness in formulations without PS20 over a 21-day shaking period. In contrast, all formulations containing PS20, even at the minimum amount of 0.05 g / L, showed no increase in milky whiteness over time.

[0313] [ , Results and Discussion , ] Slip force assays revealed a relatively high slip force at a high concentration of PS20 (0.5 g / L) compared to lower concentrations. While a minimum slip force was observed at 0 g / L, an intermediate concentration of 0.2 g / L showed a good trade-off between high and low slip forces. Notably, no significant difference was observed in the loosening power among the formulations.
[0314] [] [2.3.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the seven formulations tested, and the results are as follows. Storage time and temperature are as described above. ● The contents of the IEC main peak, APG, and BPG remained constant at 5°C over 24 and 36 months. No differences in the main peak, APG, and BPG were observed between formulations. ● Within 24 months at 5°C, the HIC main peak content remained constant within the range of 96.5%-97.3%, the HIC pre-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.4%-1.7%, and the HIC post-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.4%-1.9%. Within 36 months at 5°C, the HIC main peak content was obtained within the range of 95.9%-97.3%, the HIC pre-peak content within the range of 1.4%-1.7%, and the HIC post-peak content within the range of 1.4%-2.4%. After storage at 25°C for up to 12 months, the main peak content was obtained between 93.9%-96.8%, the pre-peak content between 1.4%-3.0%, and the post-peak content between 1.7%-2.7%. After storage at 40°C for up to 3 months, the main peak content was obtained between 90.3% and 95.2%, the preceding peak content between 2.5% and 6.0%, and the subsequent peak content between 2.3% and 3.7%. No differences in the main peak, preceding peak, and subsequent peak were observed between the formulations. ● The specific binding activity remained substantially constant at the tested storage temperatures for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months. The specific binding activity was in the range of 97%-101%. ● Protein concentrations remained substantially constant at the different storage temperatures tested for up to 24 and 36 months of storage. Small deviations in protein concentration were attributed to analytical variations, resulting in ranges of 147–155 mg / mL (24 months) and 147–159 mg / mL (36 months). ● The pH value remained substantially constant for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months at different storage temperatures tested. The pH ranged from 5.7 to 5.9. ● The permeate molar concentration remained substantially constant for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months at different storage temperatures tested. The tested values ranged from 305 to 322 mOsm / kg. ● The dynamic viscosity remained substantially constant for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months at the different storage temperatures tested. The dynamic viscosity ranged from 9.2 to 11.0 mPas. ● During the storage period, the levels of protein-associated particles and foreign particles remained substantially low at the different storage temperatures tested.
[0315] [2.4.] [Results Overview] [] In summary, the formulations tested under long-term storage conditions of 24 and 36 months within a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C exhibited stability. Specifically, formulations containing surfactants such as PS20 were found to be stable, while formulations lacking PS20 showed some non-visible particle formation and increased milky whiteness. The LMW content of formulations lacking PS20 was also slightly increased. Under the tested conditions, a particularly suitable concentration of surfactants such as the nonionic surfactant PS20 appears to be 0.2 g / L.

[0326] [, , ] [, Results and Discussion , ] For trehalose concentrations of 145 to 225 mM, the osmotic weight molar concentration ranges from approximately 245 to 380 mOsm / kg. Since the optimal osmotic weight molar concentration is approximately 310 mOsm / kg, it is advantageous to provide formulations with this osmotic weight molar concentration. This can be achieved, for example, using a trehalose concentration of 185 mM and formulations according to embodiments of the invention.
[0327] [] [3.3.] [Further Analysis and Results] [] In addition, further analysis was performed on the five formulations tested (storage time and temperature as described above). ● The contents of the IEC main peak, APG, and BPG remained constant at 5°C over 24 and 36 months. No differences in the main peak, APG, and BPG were observed between formulations. ● Within 24 months at 5°C, the HIC main peak content remained constant within the range of 96.4%-97.4%, the HIC pre-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.4%-1.8%, and the HIC post-peak content remained constant within the range of 1.2%-2.0%.

No differences in the main peak, preceding peak, and subsequent peak were observed among the formulations. ● Protein concentrations remained substantially constant at the different storage temperatures tested for up to 24 and 36 months of storage. Small deviations in protein concentration were attributed to analytical variations, resulting in ranges of 145–153 mg / mL (24 months) and 148–158 mg / mL (36 months). ● The pH value remained substantially constant for storage periods of up to 24 and 36 months at different storage temperatures tested.

At 25°C for up to 12 months of storage, the sliding force ranges between 6.7-15.7 N (maximum) and 6.2-12.4 N (average), and the loosening force ranges between 3.9-5.6 N. At 40°C for up to 3 months of storage, the sliding force ranges between 8.7-23.1 N (maximum) and 7.3-16.4 N (average), and the loosening force ranges between 5.1-6.6 N. ● During the storage period, the levels of protein-associated particles and foreign particles remained substantially low at the different storage temperatures tested.
[0328] [3.4.] [Results Overview] In summary, all tested formulations demonstrated stability, confirming that high stability is maintained despite variations in trehalose concentration. Therefore, the indicated trehalose concentration can be flexibly applied to produce stable protein formulations of 150 mg / mL rissenkiramab. []
