Pharmaceutical compositions of a HER2/neu antibody and use of the same
The present invention is directed in part to pharmaceutical compositions for storage and administration comprising a) a HER2/neu antibody (“margetuximab”), b) buffering agents, and c) stabilizers, wherein said margetuximab is stable. The invention in part provides, containers and kits comprising such pharmaceutical compositions. The invention is directed in part to the use of such pharmaceutical compositions, containers, and kits containing margetuximab in the treatment of HER2/neu-positive cancer (i.e., a cancer that expresses HER2), including breast cancer or gastric cancer or GEJ cancer.
1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:
(a) margetuximab at a concentration of from about 20 mg/mL to about 100 mg/mL;
(b) sodium chloride at a concentration of from about 2.47 mg/mL to about 3.34 mg/mL;
(c) L-arginine hydrochloride at a concentration of from about 9.35 mg/mL to about 12.75 mg/mL;
(d) sucrose at a concentration of from about 25.5 mg/mL to about 34.5 mg/mL;
(e) polysorbate 80 (“PS80”) at a concentration of from about 0.05 mg/mL to about 0.20 mg/mL;
(f) a sodium phosphate buffer of:
(1) sodium phosphate monohydrate at a concentration of from about 0.94 mg/mL to about 1.27 mg/mL; and
(2) sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate at a concentration of from about 0.49 mg/mL to about 0.67 mg/mL; and
(g) water;
wherein said composition has a pH of from about 5.8 to about 6.4.
2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein
said concentration of said margetuximab is from about 21.25 mg/mL to about 28.75 mg/mL.
3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(b) sodium chloride at a concentration of about 2.9 mg/mL;
(c) L-arginine hydrochloride at a concentration of about 11 mg/mL;
(d) sucrose at a concentration of about 30 mg/mL;
(e) polysorbate 80 (“PS80”) at a concentration of about 0.1 mg/mL;
(f) a sodium phosphate buffer of:
(1) sodium phosphate monohydrate at a concentration of from about 1.08 mg/mL to about 1.1 mg/mL; and
(2) sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate at a concentration of about 0.58 mg/mL; and
(g) water;
wherein said composition has a pH of from about 5.8 to about 6.4.
4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises said margetuximab at a concentration of about 25 mg/mL.
5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition has a shelf-life of at least about 18 months at 2-8° C.
6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition has an osmolality of from about 270 mOsm/kg H 2 O to about 330 mOsm/kg H 2 O.
7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition maintains the charge heterogeneity profile of said margetuximab for at least about 18 months at about 2-8° C.
8. A container comprising the pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said container comprises about 10 mL volume of said pharmaceutical composition.
9. A container comprising the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein said container comprises about 10 mL volume of said pharmaceutical composition.
10. A container comprising the pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein said container comprises about 10 mL volume of said pharmaceutical composition.
11. A sealed package comprising the container of claim 8 .
