Abstract

Provided is a stable pharmaceutical composition, comprising an anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, capable of inhibiting the generation of chemically modified substances, such as deamidated forms and oxidized forms, or degradants or multimers. The pharmaceutical composition comprises an anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, arginine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a surfactant.

Claims (34)

1. A pharmaceutical composition with a pH of about 5 to about 6 comprising: an anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 300 mg/mL;

a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer at a concentration of 5 to 100 mmol/L;

a stabilizer; and

a surfactant present in an amount of 0.001 to 1% (w/v),

wherein the anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 with a posttranslational modification, and a light chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein the posttranslational modification of the heavy chain is a lysine deletion at the C terminus of the heavy chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or a pyroglutamylation at the N-terminus of the heavy chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.

2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer is at a concentration of 500 mmol/L or less.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer is at a concentration of 210 mmol/L or less.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer is no more than 210 mmol/L.

5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable buffer is selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, histidine, ascorbic acid, glutamic acid, maleic acid, trometamol, and gluconic acid.

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable buffer is histidine.

7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the concentration of the histidine is 5 to 70 mmol/L.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 6 , wherein the concentration of the histidine is 5 to 50 mmol/L.

9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is a polysorbate or poloxamer 188.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the polysorbate is polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , wherein the polysorbate is polysorbate 20.

12. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , wherein the polysorbate is polysorbate 80.

13. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the surfactant is 0.005% to 0.5% (w/v).

14. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the surfactant is 0.01% to 0.2% (w/v).

15. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is present at a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL.

16. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the liquid pharmaceutical composition comprises:

the anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL;

the stabilizer, at a concentration of no more than 210 mmol/L;

the surfactant is present in an amount of 0.01 to 0.2% (w/v), wherein the surfactant is polysorbate 80; and

the pharmaceutically acceptable buffer is histidine at a concentration of 5 to 50 mmol/L.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the stabilizer is an amino acid.

18. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a pH of 5.5 to 5.7.

19. A method of treating a human with asthma, the method comprising administering the composition of claim 1 to the human.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered at a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL of the anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises:

the anti-human TSLP receptor antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, at a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL;

the stabilizer, at a concentration of no more than 210 mmol/L;

the surfactant is present in an amount of 0.01 to 0.2% (w/v), wherein the surfactant is polysorbate 80; and

the pharmaceutically acceptable buffer is histidine at a concentration of 5 to 50 mmol/L.

22. The method of claim 19 , wherein the composition has a pH of 5.5 to 5.7.
