Definitions

  • Biologics are medicinal products created by biological processes, including preparations isolated from natural sources (e.g., human plasma) and recombinant DNA technologies. Within the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, biologics are becoming increasingly important for patient treatment and overall revenue growth (Goodman M. Nat Rev Drug Discov. (2009) November; 8(11):837).
  • One important class of biologic drugs is therapeutic proteins, both isolated from natural sources and recombinantly produced.
  • plasma proteins are manufactured for therapeutic administration by isolation from pooled human plasma (e.g., GAMMAGARD LIQUID® [IVIG, Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) 10%]; Baxter International, Deerfield, Ill.) and recombinant means (e.g., ADVATE® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin-Free Method]; Baxter International, Deerfield, Ill.).
  • GAMMAGARD LIQUID® IVIG, Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) 10%
  • Baxter International, Deerfield, Ill. recombinant means
  • ADVATE® Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin-Free Method
  • IV intravenous
  • SQ subcutaneous
  • intramuscular administration although other routes of administration may be used depending upon the therapeutic protein and condition being treated.
  • Most of the immunoglobulins are administered intravenously as larger volumes can be delivered rapidly by the intravenous route to provide the physiologic levels of IgG needed for the effective treatment of various diseases, such as primary immune deficiencies (PID), immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and the Kawasaki syndrome. Due to the nature of IV administration, therapy via this route is a slow and timely process, leading to problems with patient compliance.
  • PID primary immune deficiencies
  • ITP immune idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
  • Kawasaki syndrome Due to the nature of IV administration, therapy via this route is a slow and timely process, leading to problems with patient compliance.
  • SQ administration of therapeutic proteins is a convenient alternative to intravenous administration. Compared to IV infusions, SQ administration has several advantages. For example, it can reduce the incidence of systemic reactions, it does not require sometimes-difficult IV access, and gives patients more independence.
  • intravenously administrable immunoglobulins have been formulated at acidic pH, effectively increasing their stability in the formulation (products that are formulated at acidic pH are, e.g., Gamunex (Talecris), Gammagard Liquid (Baxter) or Privigen (CSL).
  • products that are formulated at acidic pH are, e.g., Gamunex (Talecris), Gammagard Liquid (Baxter) or Privigen (CSL).

  • present invention satisfies these and other needs by, among other aspects, providing immunoglobulin compositions formulated with histidine at mild acidic to neutral pH that stabilize labile therapeutic proteins.
  • the present invention is based in part by the surprising finding that the addition of alkali metal salts to aqueous formulations at mildly acidic to neutral pH stabilizes both plasma-derived and recombinant labile therapeutic proteins.
  • immunoglobulins and coagulation factors formulated at mildly acidic to neutral pH with less than 75 mM of an alkali metal chloride salt are highly unstable.
  • the addition of greater than 75 mM of an alkali metal chloride salt e.g., 100 mM or 150 mM sodium chloride
  • This finding is contrary to the result of adding alkali metal chloride salts to formulations at acidic pH values, which is shown herein to destabilize these compositions.

  • labile therapeutic proteins e.g., immunoglobulins, coagulation factors, etc.
  • the ability to stably formulate labile therapeutic proteins at mildly acidic to neutral pH allows for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions that may be administered subcutaneously (SQ) or intramuscularly (IM) without the pain and potential for tissue damage that is associated with the SQ and IM administration of compositions formulated at acidic pH.
