  • Patent number: 11945859
    Abstract: The present invention provides anti-VEGF antibodies formulated as high concentration, aqueous pharmaceutical compositions, suitable for an injection, preferably an intravitreal injection. The aqueous pharmaceutical compositions are useful for delivery of a high concentration of the antibody active ingredient to a patient without high levels of antibody aggregation and without a high level of sub-visible particulate matter. An aqueous composition of the invention comprises an antibody having a concentration of at least 50 mg/ml. An aqueous pharmaceutical composition of the invention includes a sugar, a buffering agent, and a surfactant.

  • Publication number: 20120114524
    Abstract: Methods and systems for the terminal sterilization and surface decontamination of prefilled containers containing sensitive drug products, such as biotech drug products that are otherwise temperature or radiation sensitive, and thus not suitable for terminal sterilization by classical methods involving steam or gamma rays. The methods and systems are especially suited for prefilled containers in secondary packaging. Methods include terminal sterilization by exposing prefilled containers in secondary packaging to tunable-beta radiation and further include terminal sterilization by exposing prefilled containers to controllable vaporized-hydrogen peroxide, including application of measures to reduce or prevent diffusion of vaporized-hydrogen peroxide into prefilled containers.
