Summary for Patent: 9,610,301
Title:Powdered protein compositions and methods of making same
Abstract: A method for preparing a protein or peptide powder is provided that includes spray drying a solution including more than, e.g., about 50 mg/mL of a protein or peptide (e.g., an antibody or antigen binding portion thereof), and at least one excipient. Also provided are stable powdered compositions including a protein and an excipient having less than, e.g., about 6% residual moisture.

Application Number:12/354,665
Patent Claims:1. A pharmaceutical powder preparation comprising an effective amount of adalimumab and sodium hyaluronate, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation is prepared by spray drying a solution comprising more than about 50 mg/mL of adalimumab and an excipient which is either trehalose or sucrose, and wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation has an excipient:adalimumab mass ratio of about 0.7:1.0 or about 1.4:1.0, comprises less than about 6% residual moisture, comprises no more than 2% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 25.degree. C. for three months, and comprises no more than 5% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 40.degree. C. for three months.

2. A pharmaceutical powder preparation comprising an effective amount of adalimumab, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation is prepared by spray drying a solution comprising more than about 50 mg/mL of the adalimumab and an excipient which is either trehalose or sucrose, and wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation has an excipient:adalimumab mass ratio of about 0.7:1.0 or about 1.4:1.0, comprises less than about 6% residual moisture, comprises no more than 2% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 25.degree. C. for three months, and comprises no more than 5% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 40.degree. C. for three months.

3. A pharmaceutical powder preparation comprising an effective amount of a human anti-Tumor Necrosis factor alpha (TNF.alpha.) antibody and sodium hyaluronate, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation is prepared by spray drying a solution comprising more than about 50 mg/mL of antibody and an excipient which is either trehalose or sucrose, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation has an excipient:antibody mass ratio of about 0.7:1.0 or about 1.4:1.0, comprises less than about 6% residual moisture, comprises no more than 2% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 25.degree. C. for three months, and comprises no more than 5% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 40.degree. C. for three months, and wherein the antibody comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) having a CDR3 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, a CDR2 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, and a CDR1 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR) having a CDR3 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, a CDR2 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, and a CDR1 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8.

4. A pharmaceutical powder preparation comprising an effective amount of a human anti-Tumor Necrosis factor alpha (TNF.alpha.) antibody and sodium hyaluronate, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation is prepared by spray drying a solution comprising more than about 50 mg/mL of the antibody and an excipient which is either trehalose or sucrose, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation has an excipient:antibody mass ratio of about 0.7:1.0 or about 1.4:1.0, comprises less than about 6% residual moisture, comprises no more than 2% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 25.degree. C. for three months, and comprises no more than 5% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 40.degree. C. for three months, and wherein the antibody comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) having a CDR3 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3, a CDR2 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5, and a CDR1 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, comprises a heavy chain variable region (HCVR) having a CDR3 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, a CDR2 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, and a CDR1 domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, and is an IgG.

5. A pharmaceutical powder preparation comprising an effective amount of a human anti-Tumor Necrosis factor alpha (TNF.alpha.) antibody and sodium hyaluronate, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation is prepared by spray drying a solution comprising more than about 50 mg/mL of the antibody and an excipient which is either trehalose or sucrose, wherein the pharmaceutical powder preparation has an excipient:antibody mass ratio of about 0.7:1.0 or about 1.4:1.0, comprises less than about 6% residual moisture, comprises no more than 2% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 25.degree. C. for three months, and comprises no more than 5% aggregates upon reconstitution when stored as a powder at 40.degree. C. for three months, and wherein the antibody comprises an LCVR comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and an HCVR comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.

6. The pharmaceutical powder preparation of claim 3, wherein the antibody comprises an LCVR comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, an HCVR comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, and is an IgG.
