Abstract

The invention relates to formulations of single domain antigen binding molecules, e.g., nanobody molecules, in particular formulations of TNF-binding nanobody molecules. The single domain antigen binding molecules can include one or more single binding domains that interact with, e.g., bind to, one or more target proteins. The formulations are useful, e.g., as pharmaceutical formulations. Method of preparing, and using the formulations described herein, to treat, e.g., TNF-associated disorders, are also disclosed.

Claims (46)

1. A formulation comprising:

(a) a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-binding single domain antigen binding (SDAB) molecule at a concentration of about 1 mg/mL, about 50 mg/mL or about 80 mg/mL, wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule comprises an amino acid sequence with at least about 95% identity to amino acids 1-115 of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprises three CDRs having the amino acid sequences: DYWMY (SEQ ID NO:2) (CDR1), EINTNGLITKYPDSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3) (CDR2) and SPSGFN (SEQ ID NO:4) (CDR3);

(b) about 5% sucrose;

(c) about 0.01% polysorbate-80; and

(d) about 10 mM Histidine buffer.

2. The formulation of claim 1 , which is in liquid, lyophilized, reconstituted lyophilized, or frozen bulk storage form.

3. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule is a single chain polypeptide comprised of one or more single domain molecules.

4. A kit or an article of manufacture, comprising a container containing the formulation of claim 1 .

5. The kit or article of manufacture of claim 4 , wherein the formulation is present in a vial or an injectable syringe.

6. A formulation comprising:

(a) a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-binding single domain antigen binding (SDAB) molecule at a concentration of about 88-100 mg/mL, wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule comprises an amino acid sequence with at least about 95% identity to amino acids 1-115 of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprises three CDRs having the amino acid sequences: DYWMY (SEQ ID NO:2) (CDR1), EINTNGLITKYPDSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3) (CDR2) and SPSGFN (SEQ ID NO:4) (CDR3);

(b) about 5% sucrose;

(c) about 0.01% polysorbate-80;

(d) about 10 mM Histidine buffer, and

(e) about 55 mM arginine, about 100 mM arginine, or about 100 mM methionine.

7. The formulation of claim 6 , which is in liquid, lyophilized, reconstituted lyophilized, or frozen bulk storage form.

8. The formulation of claim 6 , wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule is a single chain polypeptide comprised of one or more single domain molecules.

9. A kit or an article of manufacture, comprising a container containing the formulation of claim 6 .

10. The kit or article of manufacture of claim 9 , wherein the formulation is present in a vial or an injectable syringe.

11. A formulation comprising:

(a) a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-binding single domain antigen binding (SDAB) molecule at a concentration of about 117 or 118 mg/mL, wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule comprises an amino acid sequence with at least about 95% identity to amino acids 1-115 of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprises three CDRs having the amino acid sequences: DYWMY (SEQ ID NO:2) (CDR1), EINTNGLITKYPDSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3) (CDR2) and SPSGFN (SEQ ID NO:4) (CDR3);

(b) about 5% sucrose; and

(c) about 20 mM Histidine buffer or 20 mM Tris buffer.

12. The formulation of claim 11 , which is in liquid, lyophilized, reconstituted lyophilized, or frozen bulk storage form.

13. The formulation of claim 11 , wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule is a single chain polypeptide comprised of one or more single domain molecules.

14. A kit or an article of manufacture, comprising a container containing the formulation of claim 11 .

15. The kit or article of manufacture of claim 14 , wherein the formulation is present in a vial or an injectable syringe.

16. A formulation comprising:

(a) a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-binding single domain antigen binding (SDAB) molecule at a concentration of about 100 mg/mL, wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule comprises an amino acid sequence with at least about 95% identity to amino acids 1-115 of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprises three CDRs having the amino acid sequences: DYWMY (SEQ ID NO:2) (CDR1), EINTNGLITKYPDSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3) (CDR2) and SPSGFN (SEQ ID NO:4) (CDR3); and one of (b), (c), (d) or (e):

(e) about 20 mM histidine, and about 5% sorbitol.

17. The formulation of claim 16 , which is in liquid, lyophilized, reconstituted lyophilized, or frozen bulk storage form.

18. The formulation of claim 16 , wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule is a single chain polypeptide comprised of one or more single domain molecules.

19. A kit or an article of manufacture, comprising a container containing the formulation of claim 16 .

20. The kit or article of manufacture of claim 19 , wherein the formulation is present in a vial or an injectable syringe.

21. A formulation comprising:

(a) a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-binding single domain antigen binding (SDAB) molecule at a concentration of about 10 mg/mL, about 50 mg/mL or about 100 mg/mL, wherein the TNF-binding SDAB molecule comprises an amino acid sequence with at least about 95% identity to amino acids 1-115 of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprises three CDRs having the amino acid sequences: DYWMY (SEQ ID NO:2) (CDR1), EINTNGLITKYPDSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3) (CDR2) and SPSGFN (SEQ ID NO:4) (CDR3);
