Problems solved by technology

[0011] Freeze-drying methods for stabilizing protein formulations are disclosed, for example, in WO9300807 and WO9822136, however, a serious disadvantage of lyophilized formulations is that the user must reconstitute the lyophilizate before use, which represents a considerable source of error
This method is disadvantageous due to additional work in method development (ensuring stability during lyophilization), preparation (production cost duration) and e.g. validation due to the addition of an additional preparation method compared to liquid preparations

Embodiment 2

[0191] Example 2: Crystallization of Erbitux with Ammonium Sulfate TM

[0192] 500μl protein (20mg / ml)

[0193] 400 μl buffer (10 mM phosphate solution, pH 8.0)

[0194] 100 μl precipitant (saturated ammonium sulfate solution in 10 mM phosphate solution (pH 8.0))

[0195] The precipitation reagent was added in solution to the protein solution (batch method). After pipetting, the sample should be mixed by "hand shaking". This method can be performed at room temperature or at 4°C.

[0197] 500 μl protein (20 mg / ml in 10 mM citrate solution (pH 5.5))

[0198] 400 μl buffer (10 mM citrate, pH 5.5)

[0199] 100 μl precipitant (50% (v / v) ethanol in 10 mM citrate solution (pH 5.5)) or

[0200] 500 μl protein (20 mg / ml in 10 mM citrate solution (pH 5.5))

[0201] 500 μl precipitant (50% (v / v) ethanol in 10 mM citrate solution (pH 5.5))

[0202] The precipitation reagent was added in solution to the protein solution (batch method). After pipetting, the sample should be mixed by "hand shaking". This method can be performed at room temperature or at 4°C.

Abstract

The invention relates to solid forms of antibodies against the EGF receptor, especially precipitates and crystals of monoclonal antibodies against the EGF receptor, especially preferably Mab C225 (Cetuximab) and Mab h425 (EMD 72000), that create biologically active antibody proteins by dissolution or suspension in an aqueous medium. Said proteins can be obtained by precipitation of the antibody dissolved or suspended in the aqueous medium and / or one of the variants or fragments thereof by means of a precipitation reagent. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing at least one solid form of the cited antibody in a precipitated non-crystalline form, a precipitated crystalline form or a soluble or suspended form, and optionally carrier and / or auxiliary substances and / or other pharmaceutical active ingredients, and to a method for producing inventive solid forms of anti-EGFR-antibodies.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to solid forms of antibodies against the EGF receptor (EGFR), in particular monoclonal antibodies against the EGF receptor, particularly preferably precipitates and crystals of Mab C225 (cetuximab) and Mabh425 (EMD72000), obtained by dissolving or suspending The biologically active antibody protein is produced in an aqueous or non-aqueous medium, and said solid form can be obtained by precipitating one of the antibody and / or its variants and / or fragments dissolved or suspended in an aqueous medium by a precipitating reagent. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising at least one solid form of the above-mentioned antibodies in precipitated amorphous form, precipitated crystalline form or dissolved or suspended form, and optionally, excipients and / or adjuvants and / or or other pharmaceutically active ingredients, and relates to a method for preparing a solid form of an anti-EGFR an...
