Abstract

M-CSF-specific RX1-based or RX-1 derived antibodies are provided, along with pharmaceutical compositions containing such antibody, kits containing a pharmaceutical composition, and methods of preventing and treating bone loss in a subject afflicted with an osteolytic disease.

Claims (23)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) a humanized antibody or human engineered antibody that comprises all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 53 and all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 43; and

(b) one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents or stabilizers selected from the group consisting of: water, buffered water, 0.4% saline, 0.3% glycine, albumin, lipoprotein, globulin, phosphate buffer, citrate buffer, ascorbic acid, methionine, octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, hexamethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, phenol alcohol, butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, catechol, resorcinol, cyclohexanol, 3-pentanol, m-cresol, low molecular weight polypeptides, gelatin, immunoglobulin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, lysine, monosaccharide carbohydrate, disaccharide carbohydrate, glucose, mannose, dextrin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, sorbitol; sodium, Zn-protein complex, TWEEN™, PLURONICS™, and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 wherein the antibody comprises a variable light chain amino acid sequence which is at least 65% homologous to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 wherein the antibody comprises a variable heavy chain amino acid sequence which is at least 65% homologous to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 wherein the antibody comprises a constant region of a human antibody sequence and one or more heavy and light chain variable framework regions of a human antibody sequence.

5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 4 wherein the human antibody sequence is an individual human sequence, a human consensus sequence, an individual human germline sequence, or a human consensus germline sequence.

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 wherein the antibody comprises a fragment of an IgG1 constant region.

7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 wherein the antibody comprises a mutation in the IgG1 constant region that reduces antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity or complement dependent cytotoxicity activity.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 wherein the antibody comprises a fragment of an IgG4 constant region.

9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 wherein the antibody comprises a mutation in the IgG4 constant region that reduces formation of half-antibodies.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 wherein the antibody comprises a heavy chain amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 43 and a light chain amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 53.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 wherein said antibody is conjugated to an agent selected from the group consisting of: a cytotoxic agent, a chemotherapeutic agent, a radioactive isotope, a receptor, and an immunomodulator.

12. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 or 11 further comprising a second therapeutic agent.

13. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 12 wherein the second therapeutic agent is a cancer chemotherapeutic agent.

14. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 12 wherein the second therapeutic agent is a bisphosphonate.

15. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 14 wherein the bisphosphonate is zeledronate, pamidronate, clodronate, etidronate, tilundronate, alendronate, or ibandronate.

16. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) isolating a humanized antibody or human engineered antibody that comprises all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 53 and all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 43; and

(b) combining the antibody of (a) with one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents or stabilizers selected from the group consisting of: water, buffered water, 0.4% saline, 0.3% glycine, albumin, lipoprotein, globulin, phosphate buffer, citrate buffer, ascorbic acid, methionine, octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, hexamethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, phenol alcohol, butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, catechol, resorcinol, cyclohexanol, 3-pentanol, m-cresol, low molecular weight polypeptides, gelatin, immunoglobulin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, lysine, monosaccharide carbohydrate, disaccharide carbohydrate, glucose, mannose, dextrin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, sorbitol; sodium, Zn-protein complex, TWEEN™, PLURONICS™, and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

17. A method of administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more of parenteral, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, intranasal, intralesional, intravenous, intraarterial, intramuscular, intradermal, topical, transdermal, transmucosal, rectal, or oral administration;

wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises (a) a humanized antibody or human engineered antibody that comprises all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 53 and all three CDRs of SEQ ID NO: 43; and

(b) one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients, diluents or stabilizers selected from the group consisting of: water, buffered water, 0.4% saline, 0.3% glycine, albumin, lipoprotein, globulin, phosphate buffer, citrate buffer, ascorbic acid, methionine, octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, hexamethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, phenol alcohol, butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, catechol, resorcinol, cyclohexanol, 3-pentanol, m-cresol, low molecular weight polypeptides, gelatin, immunoglobulin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, lysine, monosaccharide carbohydrate, disaccharide carbohydrate, glucose, mannose, dextrin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, sorbitol; sodium, Zn-protein complex, TWEEN™, PLURONICS™, and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
