Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fibrinogen filtration process, as well as the preparations obtained.
  • Fibrinogen is an essential protein for blood coagulation, because its polymerization into insoluble fibrin formed at the end of the cascade of reactions which govern coagulation, results in the formation of a clot closing the vascular breach, responsible for bleeding. The placement of the clot is thus essential to ensure the cessation of bleeding.
  • the fibrin formed at the level of the wound constitutes a fibrillar network which ensures tissue repair, therefore scarring.
  • Congenital fibrinogen deficiencies can lead to serious pathologies. To treat these deficiencies, it is necessary to have fibrinogen concentrates which can be administered to patients in treatment. Other pathologies can also be treated by fibrinogen contributions, in particular in the event of massive blood loss, in the event of surgery or trauma for example, or following a decompensated consumption coagulopathy, for example the CIVD ( disseminated intravascular coagulation).
  • CIVD disseminated intravascular coagulation
  • compositions comprising fibrinogen in particular for therapeutic purposes, requires purification techniques leading to a product which is not only sufficiently purified of contaminants of diverse nature, such as the accompanying or co-purified proteins. , antibodies or proteases, but moreover virally secure and in terms of the ATNC covering the prion.
  • certain conventional viral inactivation treatments consist of a heat treatment, for example pasteurization at 60 ° C. for 20 hours in the presence of protective stabilizers or dry heating of the lyophilized product, and / or a chemical treatment, such as as solvent-detergent, intended to make the fibrinogen compositions compatible with a therapeutic use.
  • a heat treatment for example pasteurization at 60 ° C. for 20 hours in the presence of protective stabilizers or dry heating of the lyophilized product
  • a chemical treatment such as as solvent-detergent
  • the other biological security methods use viral elimination techniques, in particular using filtering.
  • these filtration techniques require filters with a small pore size ( ⁇ 35 nanometers) which are hardly compatible with fibrinogen.
  • Application EP1457497 describes a nanofiltration step requiring a preliminary freezing and thawing step followed by filtration which must be applied in order to remove aggregates, polymers or undesirable contaminants such as fibronectin, such a process also requires a prior dilution of the solution to less than 2 g / L to limit early clogging of the filters, which represents significant obstacles to the industrialization of such processes.
  • low porosity filters such as the Planova 20N filter, which is conventionally used in the industry for biological safety, do not make it possible to achieve a charge on the filter sufficient to ensure an acceptable yield and industrial cost price.
  • the methods using filters under such conditions therefore do not allow easy industrial implementation or use at high capacity, and represent a prohibitive cost in the implementation of a purification process on an industrial scale using batches of departure of several hundred or thousands of liters.
  • such methods do not allow more than 0.2 kg of fibrinogen to be treated per m 2 of nanofilter membrane without including a preliminary stage of freezing / thawing and filtration of the product to be nanofiltrated.
  • the development of a nanofiltration step of fibrinogen under conditions allowing its industrial implementation (sufficient flow rate, little clogging, acceptable cost price) is therefore known to be a difficulty.
  • fibrinogen compositions must contain arginine to ensure their stability.
  • the processes for obtaining fibrinogen compositions thus use arginine at different stages of the process, including during the elution of chromatography.
  • application US2015 / 0366947 (Example 7) teaches that the nanofiltration of fibrinogen compositions obtained by elution from chromatography in a buffer comprising arginine would not be facilitated compared to the nanofiltration of fibrinogen compositions obtained by elution from chromatography in buffer not comprising arginine.
  • the Applicant has therefore sought to develop a process for removing viruses and other undesirable contaminants (such as polymers, aggregates or prions) from a composition comprising fibrinogen, by filtration, which allows the obtaining a highly secure fibrinogen composition, said process being easy to implement on an industrial scale, and having good yield and an acceptable industrial cost price.
  • the invention therefore relates to a method of filtering a fibrinogen composition, comprising the following steps: a) purification by chromatography of the fibrinogen composition using an elution buffer comprising arginine;
  • step b) optionally, at least one step of filtering the fibrinogen composition obtained by elution from chromatography in step a), on a filter having a pore size of between 0.08 ⁇ m and 0.22 ⁇ m,
  • step a) filtration of the fibrinogen composition obtained by elution from chromatography in step a), or optionally obtained in b), on a symmetrical filter having a pore size of between 15 nm and 25 nm, preferably between 18 nm and 22 nm, and
  • said filtration process being carried out without adding arginine after step a), at a capacity of at least 0.2 kg of fibrinogen / m 2 and said fibrinogen composition not being previously frozen and / or thawed.
  • the method according to the invention does not require the addition of an adjustment step with arginine of the composition obtained after the chromatography step.
  • Increasing concentrations of arginine in the elution buffer have been shown to increase the filtration capacity and do not clog the filter.
  • a subsequent adjustment step with arginine is therefore not necessary, thus simplifying the industrial implementation of the process.
  • the method according to the invention therefore advantageously allows filterability, on a symmetrical filter with a pore size of about 20 nm, of a composition comprising fibrinogen without prior freezing / thawing step, or prior dilution from a fibrinogen solution pre-purified by chromatography and eluted by buffer comprising arginine, and without addition of arginine after the purification step by chromatography.
  • FIG. 1 shows the capacity in g of fibrinogen / m 2 of membrane as a function of the flow rate (L / H / m 2 ) of the process according to the invention (symmetrical filter) compared to a previous process (asymmetric filter)
  • high capacity means a fibrinogen load per membrane surface, expressed in kg of fibrinogen per m 2 of membrane, greater than or equal to 0.2, preferably greater than or equal to 0 , 25, preferably greater than or equal to 0.3, preferably greater than or equal to 0.35, preferably greater than or equal to 0.4, preferably greater than or equal to 0.45, preferably greater than or equal to 0 , 5, preferably greater than or equal to 1, preferably greater than or equal to 2, preferably greater than or equal to 3, preferably greater than or equal to 5 kg / m 2 .
  • the high capacity corresponds to a fibrinogen load per membrane surface of between 0.2 and 5 kg / m 2 , even more advantageously between 0.2 and 2.5 kg / m 2 .
  • the Applicant has found that it was possible to obtain, on an industrial scale, fibrinogen compositions, highly secure, free of viruses, and in particular of small viruses, in particular non-enveloped, such than B19, and other undesirable contaminants (such as polymers, aggregates or prions), by the implementation of a flexible and simple filtration process which allows securing with a nanofiltration step of fibrinogen retaining its molecular integrity at an acceptable cost of production.
  • a simple process, fast and at an acceptable industrial cost price is easily implemented on an industrial scale, which leads to increased optimization of the biological security of compositions comprising fibrinogen.
  • a filtration process allows a high protein load with a high yield after filtration.

  • the fibrinogen composition subjected to the process of the invention undergoes an additional chromatography step.
  • the fibrinogen composition subjected to the process according to the invention is a chromatography eluate or a non-adsorbed fraction of a chromatography column, including multicolumn chromatography.
