Stable antibody containing compositions
The invention relates to stable and low viscous (<50 cP) protein containing compositions, in particular, but not exclusively stable antibody containing compositions and to the use of said stable proteins in therapy, in particular for the subcutaneous delivery of said stable protein.
1. A stable, liquid composition comprising an anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody, arginine, a salt and a buffer, wherein the total concentration of said salt and buffer is lower than 100 mM, wherein the composition comprises:
(a) 100 mg/ml of the anti-NKG2A antibody;
(b) 25 mM sodium chloride;
(c) 33 mM histidine buffer;
(d) 25 mM arginine; and
(e) 150 mM sucrose;
buffered to a pH between 5 and 7.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , which does not comprise a surfactant.
3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody is of the IgG4 subtype.
4. The composition according to claim 1 , which has a viscosity of 10 cP or less when measured at 25° C.
5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition shows a 4.5% or less increase in % HMWP after storage at 40° C. for up to 3 months.
6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises polysorbate 80.
7. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the composition comprises 0.001% polysorbate 80.
