Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of a pharmaceutical container formed, at least in part, of a glass composition which exhibits a reduced propensity to delaminate, i.e., a reduced propensity to shed glass particulates. As a result, the presently claimed containers are particularly suited for storage of pharmaceutical compositions and, specifically, a pharmaceutical solution comprising a pharmaceutically active ingredient, for example, NEUPOGEN (filgrastim), NEULASTA (pegfilgrastim), EPOGEN (epoetin alfa) or ENBREL (etanercept).

Abstract: Described herein are compositions of antibodies and carrier proteins and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic. Also described are lyophilized compositions of antibodies and carrier proteins and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic.

Abstract: The invention provides buffered formulations of adalimumab. The formulations comprise a buffer comprising an acetate salt, mannitol, glacial acetic acid, sodium chloride, and polysorbate 80. The formulations have an acidic pH, and enhance the thermal, conformational and colloidal stability of antibodies, including the adalimumab antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly concentrated, stable pharmaceutical formulation of a pharmaceutically active anti-CD20 antibody, such as e.g. Rituximab, Ocrelizumab, or HuMab<CD20>, or a mixture of such antibody molecules for subcutaneous injection. In particular, the present invention relates to formulations comprising, in addition to a suitable amount of the anti-CD20 antibody, an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme as a combined formulation or for use in form of a co-formulation. The said formulations comprise additionally at least one buffering agent, such as e.g. a histidine buffer, a stabilizer or a mixture of two or more stabilizers (e.g. a saccharide, such as e.g. ?,?-trehalose dihydrate or sucrose, and optionally methionine as a second stabilizer), a nonionic surfactant and an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme. Methods for preparing such formulations and their uses thereof are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for concentrating proteins including an ultrafiltering, a diafiltering, and a second ultrafiltering sequence, at elevated temperatures, such as above about 30° C. The disclosure also includes a process for preparing highly concentrated antibody compositions, and highly concentrated antibody products.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a stable protein composition containing a surfactant and having less than 400 subvisible particles of 10 microns or greater diameter per container, or less than 10,000 subvisible particles of 2 microns or greater per container. A method of manufacturing such a stable protein composition is disclosed, which includes a unit of operation that removes or decreases an esterase activity that degrades the surfactant. The unit of operation may be hydrophobic interaction chromatography or filtration, mixed mode chromatography, or the like.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods that provide immunosuppressants and therapeutic macromolecules that are administered within a pharmacodynamically effective window of the immunosuppressants to induce immune tolerance to the therapeutic macromolecules. The methods allow shifting the immune response in favor of tolerogenic immune response development specific to the therapeutic macromolecule.
