Abstract

Formulations comprising recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (rhTPP1) for intrathecal, intracerebroventricular, or intraocular administration, and kits comprising the same, are disclosed. Methods of using rhTPP1 in the prevention and treatment of symptoms of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CLN2) disease are also disclosed. The formulations and methods are effective in halting the progression of CLN2 disease and may be used to treat subjects having CLN2 or a family history of CLN2.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose of rhTTP1 i) is effective to maintain language function or slow or reduce deterioration of language function in the subject; and/or ii) is effective to maintain motor function or slow or reduce deterioration of motor function in the subject.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose is i) about 10 mL of a composition comprising about 300 mg of rhTPP1 administered to the subject over a period of about 4 hours; ii) about 300 mg of rhTPP1 administered to the subject at a rate less than or equal to about 75 mg/hr; or iii) about 300 MCI of rhTPP1 administered to the subject at a rate less than or equal to about 75 mg/2.5 mL/hour.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose is administered every other week.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose is administered intracerebroventricularly, intrathecally, intraocularly, intracerebroventricularly and intraocularly.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose is administered in a formulation comprising sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, and sodium chloride at a concentration of about 1 mg/mL to about 20 mg/mL.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the dose is administered in a formulation comprising sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate at a concentration of about 0.11 mg/mL, sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate at a concentration of about 0.08 mg/mL, sodium chloride at a concentration of about 8.77 mg/mL, potassium chloride at a concentration of about 0.22 mg/mL, magnesium chloride hexahydrate at a concentration of about 0.16 mg/mL, and calcium chloride dihydrate at a concentration of about 0.21 mg/mL.

11. A method of maintaining vision or slowing or reducing deterioration of vision in a subject having Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CLN2) disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of rhTPP1 to the subject wherein the composition comprises rhTPP1 at a concentration of from about 25 mg/mL to about 35 mg/mL, further comprising potassium chloride at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, magnesium chloride hexahydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, and calcium chloride dehydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, and wherein the composition has a pH of 6.5 and the rhTPP1 is not aggregated.

12. A method of treating Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CLN2) disease comprising administering a composition comprising rhTPP1 to a subject in need thereof at a dose effective to improve physiological function in the subject, wherein the physiological function is language function, motor function, vision or feeding function, wherein the composition comprises rhTPP1 at a concentration of from about 25 mg/mL to about 35 mg/mL, further comprising potassium chloride at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, magnesium chloride hexahydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, and calcium chloride dehydrate at a concentration of about 0.01 mg/mL to about 1 mg/mL, and wherein the composition has a pH of 6.5 and the rhTPP1 is not aggregated.
