METHODS OF TREATING PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS USING IL-17 ANTAGONISTS
The disclosure relates to novel regimens for treating an inflammatory arthritis, e.g., psoriatic arthritis, which employ a therapeutically effective amount of an IL-17 antagonist, e.g., IL-17 binding molecule (e.g., IL-17 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, e.g., secukinumab) or IL-17 receptor binding molecule (e.g., IL-17 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof).
STABLE LIQUID FORMULATION FOR MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES
The present invention concerns stable pharmaceutical compositions for monoclonal antibodies, for example IgG antibodies. The invention further relates to medicaments and treatments using the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. Additionally, the invention relates to a kit comprising at least one of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention and a method for reducing aggregation of antibodies.
Liquid pharmaceutical composition
The present invention relates to novel liquid pharmaceutical compositions of adalimumab, which include adalimumab or a biosimilar thereof, an acetate buffering agent/system such as sodium acetate/acetic acid, and a sugar stabiliser such as trehalose. Such a combination of components furnishes formulations having a stability (e.g. on storage and when exposed to stress) which is comparable to or an improvement upon those known in the art, and with fewer ingredients. Such advances will help adalimumab treatments to become more widely available at lower cost, and prolong the viability of pre-loaded delivery devices (e.g. pre-filled syringes) to reduce unnecessary waste of the drug.
POLYPEPTIDES
There is provided inter alia a polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin chain variable domain comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDR1-CDR3) and four framework regions, wherein: (a) at least one lysine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue, and/or (b) at least one arginine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue; wherein the polypeptide has increased intestinal stability relative to a corresponding polypeptide not having said histidine substitutions.
METHODS OF TREATING DISEASES
This invention generally relates to methods for the treatment of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, utilizing anti-IL-23A antibodies.
METHODS AND KITS FOR ANALYSIS OF HMGB1 ISOFORMS
In accordance with some embodiments herein, methods of determining signatures of HMGB1 isoforms in a subject are provided. In some embodiments, antibodies that bind specifically to HMGB1 isoforms are provided. In some embodiments, immunoassay kits are provided.

MODULATION OF CHARGE VARIANTS IN A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY COMPOSITION
Combinations of different chromatography modalities with particularly refined conditions significantly reduce acid charge variants in a preparation of monoclonal antibodies. The process for reducing acid charge variants utilizes a combination of anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, followed by cation exchange chromatography polishing, whereby the levels of acidic or basic charge species of the monoclonal antibodies may be modulated to a desired level.
Method of treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) associate with COVID-19 by administering an anti-LIGHT antibody
The present disclosure relates to methods of detecting free (active) LIGHT in biological samples to diagnose conditions associated with elevated free LIGHT, as well as to predict the effectiveness of anti-LIGHT therapies. The disclosure also relates to treating such conditions with anti-LIGHT antibodies. Conditions include acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), optionally wherein the ALI and ARDS are associated with viral infection, including coronavirus infection. Conditions also include Crohn's Disease or an inflammatory condition associated with Crohn's Disease.
Delamination resistant pharmaceutical glass containers containing active pharmaceutical ingredients
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, RITUXAN (rituximab), AVASTIN (Bevacizumab), LUCENTIS (Ranibizumab) or HERCEPTIN (trastuzumab).
