  • Publication number: 20240016730
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for intra-articular delivery of anti-CSF1R antibodies to a tissue that is impacted by a disease that is treatable with CSF1/CSF1R inhibition and/or that expresses CSF1R. It was conventional knowledge that the intra-articular dwell time of proteins in joints is typically a few hours or less. The present disclosure shows, however, that intra-articular delivery of an anti-CSF1R antibody can lead to sustained exposure and pharmacologic activity of the antibody in the joints far beyond a few hours, providing an effective means for targeted and extended delivery of the therapeutic agent.

  • Publication number: 20230183361
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for extended release of certain types of antibodies in vivo. It was discovered that such antibodies are able to initiate reversible gelation of hyaluronic acid (HA) by creating a depot that dissociates over time to release the antibody without any impact on its physical and chemical properties as well as its biological activity. As certain tissues and organs, such as eyes, joints and skins, contain HA, local injection of the antibodies to these tissues or organs will result in embedding of the antibody in gel formed from the HA, which becomes a repository of slow-released antibodies. In addition, slow-released formulations can be prepared with antibodies mixed with HA, optionally with other polymers.
