- an antibody once formulated, it may be stored frozen (-20 °C to -70 °C) , under refrigerated conditions (typically 2-8° C), or at room temperature (typically 20-26° C) before being prepared for administration to a patient. It is important that the formulated antibody is stable over time at least at 2-25° C or under frozen conditions (-20 to -70° C), as shown for example at 2-8° C, 25° C, -20° C, -40° C, and -70° C.
- Various values can be used to conclude about stability over a given time period (in comparison of the initial data), such as (and not limited to): 1) no more than 10% of alteration of the monomeric form of the antibody, 2) no more than 10% of increase in High Molecular Weight Species (HMW; also herein referred to as aggregates), 3) no more than 10% of increase in Low Molecular Weight species (LMW), 4) no more than +1-0.3 unit variation of the pH, 5) changes in charge variation, 6) changes in potency, or 7) changes in particulates, the relevant changed ranges of which one of skill in the art could determine.
- HMW High Molecular Weight Species
- LMW Low Molecular Weight species
- amino acid sequence boundaries of a CDR can be determined by one of skill in the art using any of a number of known numbering schemes, including those described by Kabat et al., supra (“Kabat” numbering scheme); Al-Lazikani et al., 1997, J. Mol. Biol., 273:927-948 (“Chothia” numbering scheme); MacCallum et al., 1996, J. Mol. Biol.262:732- 745 (“Contact” numbering scheme); Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 2003, 27:55-77 (“IMGT” numbering scheme); and Honegge and Plückthun, J. Mol.
- Table 1 provides the positions of CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3, CDR-H1, CDR- H2, and CDR-H3 as identified by the Kabat and Chothia schemes.
- residue numbering is provided using both the Kabat and Chothia numbering schemes.
- CDRs may be assigned, for example, using antibody numbering software, such as Abnum, available at www.bioinf.org.uk/abs/abnum/, and described in Abhinandan and Martin, Immunology, 2008, 45:3832-3839, incorporated by reference in its entirety. Table 1.
- an antigen-binding domain is an antigen-binding domain formed by a VH-VL dimer of an antibody.
- Another example of an antigen-binding domain is an antigen-binding domain formed by diversification of certain loops from the tenth fibronectin type III domain of an Adnectin.
- An antigen-binding domain can include CDRs 1, 2, and 3 from a heavy chain in that order; and CDRs 1, 2, and 3 from a light chain in that order.
- Epitopes frequently consist of surface-accessible amino acid residues and/or sugar side chains and may have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
- Conformational and non-conformational epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former but not the latter may be lost in the presence of denaturing solvents.
- An epitope may comprise amino acid residues that are directly involved in the binding and other amino acid residues, which are not directly involved in the binding.
- the epitope to which an antibody binds can be determined using known techniques for epitope determination such as, for example, testing for antibody binding to IL-13 variants with different point-mutations or to chimeric IL-13 variants.
- a routine cross-blocking assay such as that described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Ed Harlow and David Lane (1988), can be performed.
- epitope mapping can be performed by methods known in the art.
- AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00151] Chimeric antibodies are antibodies in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a different source or species.
- Human antibodies are antibodies which possess an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell, or derived from a non-human source that utilizes a human antibody repertoire or human antibody-encoding sequences (e.g., obtained from human sources or designed de novo). Human antibodies specifically exclude humanized antibodies.
- a humanized antibody has a sequence that differs from the sequence of an antibody derived from a non-human species by one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or additions, such that the humanized antibody is less likely to induce an immune response, and/or induces a less severe immune response, as compared to the non- human species antibody, when it is administered to a human subject.
- certain amino acids in the framework and constant domains of the heavy and/or light chains of the non-human species antibody are mutated to produce the humanized antibody.
- the constant domain(s) from a human antibody are fused to the variable domain(s) of a non-human species.
- one or more amino acid residues in one or more CDR sequences of a non-human antibody are changed to reduce the likely immunogenicity of the non-human antibody when it is administered to a human subject, wherein the changed amino acid residues either are not critical for immunospecific binding of the antibody to its antigen, or the changes to the amino acid sequence that are made are conservative changes, such that the binding of the humanized antibody to the antigen is not significantly worse than the binding of the non-human antibody to the antigen. Examples of how to make humanized antibodies can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos.6,054,297, 5,886,152 and 5,877,293.
- the two or more different epitopes may be epitopes on the same antigen (e.g., a single IL-13) or on different antigens (e.g., different IL-13 molecules, or a IL-13 molecule and a non- IL-13 molecule).
- a multi-specific antibody binds two different epitopes (i.e., a “bispecific antibody”).
- a multi-specific antibody binds three different epitopes (i.e., a “trispecific antibody”).
- a trispecific antibody can include those described herein such as the clones set forth in the drawings and/or tables.

- the antibodies are monoclonal antibodies.
- the antibodies are polyclonal antibodies.
- the antibodies are produced by hybridomas.

- the antibodies may be single chain antibodies or other antibody derivatives retaining the antigen specificity and the lower hinge region or a variant thereof.
- the antibodies may be polyfunctional antibodies, recombinant antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, fragments or variants thereof.
- the antibody fragment or a derivative thereof is selected from a Fab fragment, a Fab′2 fragment, a CDR, and ScFv.
- the antibodies are capable of forming an immune complex.
- an immune complex can be a tumor cell covered by antibodies.

Description
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS OF ANTIBODIES THAT BIND INTERLEUKIN 13 Related Applications [0001] This application claims priority to, and the benefit to U.S. Provisional Application Patent No.63/612,892, filed December 20, 2023, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background [0002] The interleukin (IL)-13 is a T helper cell subclass 2 (Th2) cytokine, and belongs to the family of type I cytokines. However, IL-13 is involved in the differentiation of naïve T cells into Th2 cells. IL-13 promotes B-cell proliferation and induces class switching to IgG4 and IgE in combination with CD40/CD40L co-stimulation (IL-13 up-regulates FcεRI and thus helps in IgE priming of mast cells). In monocytes/macrophages, IL-13 up-regulates expression of CD23 and MHC class I and class II antigens; down-regulates the expression of CD14; inhibits antibody-dependent cytotoxicity IL-13; and promotes eosinophil survival, activation, and recruitment. IL-13 also manifests important functions on nonhematopoietic cells, such as smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblast cells. IL- 13 enhances proliferation and cholinergic-induced contractions of smooth muscles. In epithelial cells, IL-13 potently induces chemokine production, alters mucociliary differentiation, decreases ciliary beat frequency of ciliated epithelial cells, and results in goblet cell metaplasia. In endothelial cells, IL-13 is a potent inducer of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), which is important for recruitment of eosinophils. In human dermal fibroblasts, IL-13 induces type 1 collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts. [0003] The inhibition of IL-13 may be used to treat or prevent inflammatory diseases and conditions, such as those related to elevated levels of IgE, including but not limited to: asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and allergic or atopic dermatitis. Thus, the development of potent and specific inhibitors of IL-13, for example, inhibitors that remain active for longer terms when administered to subjects, are needed for the prevention and/or treatment of IL-13 and IgE-mediated diseases or conditions. Furthermore, formulations comprising IL-13 antibodies sufficiently stable and suitable for administration to patients remains an unmet need.

As used herein, an amino acid described herein may refer to its L-isomer form. For example, methionine may refer to L-methionine, proline may refer to L-proline, and arginine may refer to L-arginine. [0097] The term “affinity” refers to the strength of the sum total of non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen or epitope). Unless indicated otherwise, as used herein, “affinity” refers to intrinsic binding affinity, which reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen or epitope). [0098] The term “kd” (sec-1), as used herein, refers to the dissociation rate constant of a particular antibody - antigen interaction. This value is also referred to as the koff value. [0099] The term “ka” (M-1×sec-1), as used herein, refers to the association rate constant of a particular antibody -antigen interaction. This value is also referred to as the kon value. [00100] The term “KD” (M), as used herein, refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a particular antibody -antigen interaction. KD = kd/ka. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an antibody is described in terms of the KD for an interaction between such antibody and its antigen. For clarity, as known in the art, a smaller KD value indicates a higher affinity interaction, while a larger KD value indicates a lower affinity interaction. [00101] The term “KA” (M-1), as used herein, refers to the association equilibrium constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. KA = ka/kd. [00102] The term “antibody” is used herein in its broadest sense and includes certain types of immunoglobulin molecules comprising one or more antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to an antigen or epitope. An antibody specifically includes intact antibodies (e.g., intact immunoglobulins), antibody fragments, and multi-specific antibodies. [00103] A “anti-IL-13 antibody,” “IL-13 antibody,” or “IL-13 specific antibody” is an antibody, as provided herein, which specifically binds to the antigen IL-13. [00104] The term “epitope” means a portion of an antigen that specifically binds to an antibody. [00105] The term “hypervariable region” or “HVR,” as used herein, refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence and/or form structurally defined loops (“hypervariable loops”).
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00106] The term “antigen-binding domain” means the portion of an antibody that is capable of specifically binding to an antigen or epitope. [00107] The term “chimeric antibody” refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a different source or species. [00108] The term “human antibody” refers to an antibody which possesses an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell, or derived from a non-human source that utilizes a human antibody repertoire or human antibody-encoding sequences (e.g., obtained from human sources or designed de novo). Human antibodies specifically exclude humanized antibodies. [00109] The term “humanized antibody” refers to a protein having a sequence that differs from the sequence of an antibody derived from a non-human species by one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or additions, such that the humanized antibody is less likely to induce an immune response, and/or induces a less severe immune response, as compared to the non-human species antibody, when it is administered to a human subject. [00110] The term “multispecific antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises two or more different antigen-binding domains that collectively specifically bind two or more different epitopes. [00111] A “monospecific antibody” is an antibody that comprises one or more binding sites that specifically bind to a single epitope. An example of a monospecific antibody is a naturally occurring IgG molecule which, while divalent (i.e., having two antigen-binding domains), recognizes the same epitope at each of the two antigen-binding domains. The binding specificity may be present in any suitable valency. [00112] The term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies. A population of substantially homogeneous antibodies comprises antibodies that are substantially similar and that bind the same epitope(s), except for variants that may normally arise during production of the monoclonal antibody. Such variants are generally present in only minor amounts. A monoclonal antibody is typically obtained by a process that includes the selection of a single antibody from a plurality of antibodies. For example, the selection process can be the selection of a unique clone from a plurality of clones, such as a pool of hybridoma clones, phage clones, yeast clones, bacterial clones, or other recombinant DNA clones. The selected antibody can be further altered, for
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO example, to improve affinity for the target (“affinity maturation”), to humanize the antibody, to improve its production in cell culture, and/or to reduce its immunogenicity in a subject. [00113] The term “single-chain” refers to a molecule comprising amino acid monomers linearly linked by peptide bonds. In a particular such embodiment, the C-terminus of the Fab light chain is connected to the N-terminus of the Fab heavy chain in the single-chain Fab molecule. As described in more detail herein, an scFv has a variable domain of light chain (VL) connected from its C-terminus to the N-terminal end of a variable domain of heavy chain (VH) by a polypeptide chain. Alternately the scFv comprises of polypeptide chain where in the C-terminal end of the VH is connected to the N-terminal end of VL by a polypeptide chain. [00114] The “Fab fragment” (also referred to as fragment antigen-binding) contains the constant domain (CL) of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain along with the variable domains VL and VH on the light and heavy chains respectively. The variable domains comprise the complementarity determining loops (CDR, also referred to as hypervariable region) that are involved in antigen-binding. Fab′ fragments differ from Fab fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. [00115] “F(ab’)2” fragments contain two Fab’ fragments joined, near the hinge region, by disulfide bonds. F(ab’)2 fragments may be generated, for example, by recombinant methods or by pepsin digestion of an intact antibody. The F(ab’) fragments can be dissociated, for example, by treatment with ß-mercaptoethanol. [00116] “Fv” fragments comprise a non-covalently-linked dimer of one heavy chain variable domain and one light chain variable domain. [00117] “Single-chain Fv” or “sFv” or “scFv” includes the VH and VL domains of an antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. In one embodiment, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains which enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen-binding. For a review of scFv see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol.113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp.269-315 (1994). HER2 antibody scFv fragments are described in WO93/16185; U.S. Pat. No.5,571,894; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,587,458. [00118] “scFv-Fc” fragments comprise an scFv attached to an Fc domain. For example, an Fc domain may be attached to the C-terminal of the scFv. The Fc domain may follow the VH
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO or VL, depending on the orientation of the variable domains in the scFv (i.e., VH -VL or VL - VH). Any suitable Fc domain known in the art or described herein may be used. In some cases, the Fc domain comprises an IgG4 Fc domain. [00119] The term “single domain antibody” or “sdAb” refers to a molecule in which one variable domain of an antibody specifically binds to an antigen without the presence of the other variable domain. Single domain antibodies, and fragments thereof, are described in Arabi Ghahroudi et al., FEBS Letters, 1998, 414:521-526 and Muyldermans et al., Trends in Biochem. Sci., 2001, 26:230-245, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Single domain antibodies are also known as sdAbs or nanobodies. Sdabs are fairly stable and easy to express as fusion partner with the Fc chain of an antibody (Harmsen MM, De Haard HJ (2007). “Properties, production, and applications of camelid single-domain antibody fragments”. Appl. Microbiol Biotechnol.77(1): 13-22). [00120] The terms “full length antibody,” “intact antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used herein interchangeably to refer to an antibody having a structure substantially similar to a naturally occurring antibody structure and having heavy chains that comprise an Fc region. For example, when used to refer to an IgG molecule, a “full length antibody” is an antibody that comprises two heavy chains and two light chains. [00121] The term “antibody fragment” refers to an antibody that comprises a portion of an intact antibody, such as the antigen-binding or variable region of an intact antibody. Antibody fragments include, for example, Fv fragments, Fab fragments, F(ab’)2 fragments, Fab’ fragments, scFv (sFv) fragments, and scFv-Fc fragments. [00122] The term “Fc domain” or “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. [00123] The term “purified” or “substantially purified” refers to a construct described herein, or variant thereof that may be substantially or essentially free of components that normally accompany or interact with the protein as found in its naturally occurring environment, i.e., a native cell, or host cell in the case of recombinantly produced antibody that in certain embodiments, is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of protein having less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, or less than about 1% (by dry weight or by relative concentration) of contaminating protein.
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00124] The term percent “identity,” in the context of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that have a specified percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the sequence comparison algorithms described below (e.g., using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLASTP, BLASTN, BLAST-2, ALIGN, MEGALIGN (DNASTAR), CLUSTALW, CLUSTAL OMEGA, or MUSCLE software or other algorithms available to persons of skill) or by visual inspection. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. Depending on the application, the percent “identity” can exist over a region of the sequence being compared, e.g., over a functional domain, or, alternatively, exist over the full length of the two sequences to be compared. [00125] For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters. [00126] Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math.2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol.48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by visual inspection (see generally Ausubel et al., infra). [00127] Ranges recited herein are understood to be shorthand for all of the values within the range, inclusive of the recited endpoints. For example, a range of 1 to 50 is understood to include any number, combination of numbers, or sub-range from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50.
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00128] It must be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [00129] The term “stable formulation” refers to a formulation in which the protein of interest (here an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof) essentially retains its physical, chemical and/or biological properties upon storage. In order to measure the protein stability in a formulation, various analytical methods are well within the knowledge of the skilled person (see some examples in the Example section). Stability is typically assessed at a selected temperature (for instance −70 °C, -40° C, -20° C, 2-8 °C, 25 °C, 35 °C, or more) for a selected time period (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or more). As an antibody, once formulated, it may be stored frozen (-20 °C to -70 °C) , under refrigerated conditions (typically 2-8° C), or at room temperature (typically 20-26° C) before being prepared for administration to a patient. It is important that the formulated antibody is stable over time at least at 2-25° C or under frozen conditions (-20 to -70° C), as shown for example at 2-8° C, 25° C, -20° C, -40° C, and -70° C. Various values can be used to conclude about stability over a given time period (in comparison of the initial data), such as (and not limited to): 1) no more than 10% of alteration of the monomeric form of the antibody, 2) no more than 10% of increase in High Molecular Weight Species (HMW; also herein referred to as aggregates), 3) no more than 10% of increase in Low Molecular Weight species (LMW), 4) no more than +1-0.3 unit variation of the pH, 5) changes in charge variation, 6) changes in potency, or 7) changes in particulates, the relevant changed ranges of which one of skill in the art could determine. [00130] In all the embodiments of the invention, “formulation,” “pharmaceutical formulation,” and “pharmaceutical composition” can also be referred to as “stable formulation” without any differentiation. [00131] As used herein, the term “vial” refers to a container that holds the drug product. In some embodiments, the vial may be a vial, a pen, an autoinjector, a cartridge or a syringe. In some embodiments, the vial may be a vial, e.g., a glass vial or a pre-filled syringe or pre- filled autoinjector, e.g., an autoinjector cartridge. Anti-IL-13 Antibodies [00132] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides formulations comprising (a) an IL-13 antibody present at a concentration between, e.g., about 140 mg/mL and about

[00136] In some embodiments, the formulation comprises a sugar, for example, sucrose. [00137] In some embodiments, the IL-13 antibody is a humanized, human, or chimeric antibody. In some embodiments, the IL-13 antibody is a humanized antibody. Anti-IL-13 Antibody Structure [00138] The present application provides antibodies and formulations comprising an IL-13 antibody. [00139] The recognized immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon, and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. The “class” of an
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO antibody or immunoglobulin refers to the type of constant domain or constant region possessed by its heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. [00140] An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit is composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kD) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kD). The N-terminal domain of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms variable light chain (VL) and variable heavy chain (VH) refer to these light and heavy chain domains respectively. The IgG1 heavy chain comprises of the VH, CH1, CH2, and CH3 domains respectively from the N- to C-terminus. The light chain comprises of the VL and CL domains from N- to C-terminus. The IgG1 heavy chain comprises a hinge between the CH1 and CH2 domains. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, or IgE connected to a therapeutic polypeptide. In some embodiments, the immunoglobulin domain found in an antibody provided herein, is from or derived from an immunoglobulin based construct such as a diabody or a nanobody. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs described herein comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from a heavy chain antibody such as a camelid antibody. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs provided herein comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from a mammalian antibody such as a bovine antibody, a human antibody, a camelid antibody, a mouse antibody, or any chimeric antibody. [00141] In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein comprise a heavy chain. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgA. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgD. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgE. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgG. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgM. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgG1. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgG2. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgG3. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgG4. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgA1. In one embodiment, the heavy chain is an IgA2. [00142] In some embodiments, an antibody is an IgG1 antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody is an IgG3 antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody is an IgG2 antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody is an IgG4 antibody.
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00143] Generally, native four-chain antibodies comprise six hypervariable regions (HVRs); three in the VH (H1, H2, and H3), and three in the VL (L1, L2, and L3). HVRs generally comprise amino acid residues from the hypervariable loops and/or from the complementarity determining regions (CDRs), the latter being of highest sequence variability and/or involved in antigen recognition. With the exception of CDR1 in VH, CDRs generally comprise the amino acid residues that form the hypervariable loops. HVRs are also referred to as CDRs, and these terms are used herein interchangeably in reference to portions of the variable region that form the antigen-binding regions. This particular region has been described by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (1983) and by Chothia et al., J Mol Biol 196:901-917 (1987), where the definitions include overlapping or subsets of amino acid residues when compared against each other. Nevertheless, application of either definition to refer to a CDR of an antibody or variants thereof is intended to be within the scope of the term as defined and used herein. The exact residue numbers which encompass a particular CDR will vary depending on the sequence and size of the CDR. Those skilled in the art can routinely determine which residues comprise a particular CDR given the variable region amino acid sequence of the antibody. [00144] The amino acid sequence boundaries of a CDR can be determined by one of skill in the art using any of a number of known numbering schemes, including those described by Kabat et al., supra (“Kabat” numbering scheme); Al-Lazikani et al., 1997, J. Mol. Biol., 273:927-948 (“Chothia” numbering scheme); MacCallum et al., 1996, J. Mol. Biol.262:732- 745 (“Contact” numbering scheme); Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 2003, 27:55-77 (“IMGT” numbering scheme); and Honegge and Plückthun, J. Mol. Biol., 2001, 309:657-70 (“AHo” numbering scheme); each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. [00145] Table 1 provides the positions of CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3, CDR-H1, CDR- H2, and CDR-H3 as identified by the Kabat and Chothia schemes. For CDR-H1, residue numbering is provided using both the Kabat and Chothia numbering schemes. [00146] CDRs may be assigned, for example, using antibody numbering software, such as Abnum, available at www.bioinf.org.uk/abs/abnum/, and described in Abhinandan and Martin, Immunology, 2008, 45:3832-3839, incorporated by reference in its entirety.

, [00147] The “EU numbering scheme” is generally used when referring to a residue in an antibody heavy chain constant region (e.g., as reported in Kabat et al., supra). Unless stated otherwise, the EU numbering scheme is used to refer to residues in antibody heavy chain constant regions described herein. [00148] One example of an antigen-binding domain is an antigen-binding domain formed by a VH-VL dimer of an antibody. Another example of an antigen-binding domain is an antigen-binding domain formed by diversification of certain loops from the tenth fibronectin type III domain of an Adnectin. An antigen-binding domain can include CDRs 1, 2, and 3 from a heavy chain in that order; and CDRs 1, 2, and 3 from a light chain in that order. [00149] Epitopes frequently consist of surface-accessible amino acid residues and/or sugar side chains and may have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. Conformational and non-conformational epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former but not the latter may be lost in the presence of denaturing solvents. An epitope may comprise amino acid residues that are directly involved in the binding and other amino acid residues, which are not directly involved in the binding. The epitope to which an antibody binds can be determined using known techniques for epitope determination such as, for example, testing for antibody binding to IL-13 variants with different point-mutations or to chimeric IL-13 variants. [00150] To screen for antibodies which bind to an epitope on a target antigen bound by an antibody of interest (e.g., IL-13), a routine cross-blocking assay such as that described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Ed Harlow and David Lane (1988), can be performed. Alternatively, or additionally, epitope mapping can be performed by methods known in the art.
Attorney Docket No.: AOJ-017PC AOE-003WO [00151] Chimeric antibodies are antibodies in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and/or light chain is derived from a different source or species. [00152] Human antibodies are antibodies which possess an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human or a human cell, or derived from a non-human source that utilizes a human antibody repertoire or human antibody-encoding sequences (e.g., obtained from human sources or designed de novo). Human antibodies specifically exclude humanized antibodies. [00153] A humanized antibody has a sequence that differs from the sequence of an antibody derived from a non-human species by one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or additions, such that the humanized antibody is less likely to induce an immune response, and/or induces a less severe immune response, as compared to the non- human species antibody, when it is administered to a human subject. In one embodiment, certain amino acids in the framework and constant domains of the heavy and/or light chains of the non-human species antibody are mutated to produce the humanized antibody. In another embodiment, the constant domain(s) from a human antibody are fused to the variable domain(s) of a non-human species. In another embodiment, one or more amino acid residues in one or more CDR sequences of a non-human antibody are changed to reduce the likely immunogenicity of the non-human antibody when it is administered to a human subject, wherein the changed amino acid residues either are not critical for immunospecific binding of the antibody to its antigen, or the changes to the amino acid sequence that are made are conservative changes, such that the binding of the humanized antibody to the antigen is not significantly worse than the binding of the non-human antibody to the antigen. Examples of how to make humanized antibodies can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos.6,054,297, 5,886,152 and 5,877,293. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature, 1986, 321:522-525; Riechmann et al., Nature, 1988, 332:323-329; and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 1992, 2:593-596, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. [00154] The two or more different epitopes may be epitopes on the same antigen (e.g., a single IL-13) or on different antigens (e.g., different IL-13 molecules, or a IL-13 molecule and a non- IL-13 molecule). In some embodiments, a multi-specific antibody binds two different epitopes (i.e., a “bispecific antibody”). In some embodiments, a multi-specific antibody binds three different epitopes (i.e., a “trispecific antibody”).

Fc Region [00213] The structures of the Fc regions of various immunoglobulins, and the glycosylation sites contained therein, are known in the art. See Schroeder and Cavacini, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol., 2010, 125:S41-52, incorporated by reference in its entirety. The Fc region may be a naturally occurring Fc region, or an Fc region modified as described in the art or elsewhere in this disclosure. [00214] Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991. An “Fc polypeptide” of a dimeric Fc as used herein refers to one of the two polypeptides forming the dimeric Fc domain, i.e., a polypeptide comprising C-terminal constant regions of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, capable of stable self-association. For example, an Fc polypeptide of a dimeric IgG Fc comprises an IgG CH2 and an IgG CH3 constant domain sequence. An Fc can be of the class IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. 125 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR [00215] The terms “Fc receptor” and “FcR” are used to describe a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. For example, an FcR can be a native sequence human FcR. Generally, an FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. FcγRII receptors include FcγRIIA (an “activating receptor”) and FcγRIIB (an “inhibiting receptor”), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof. Immunoglobulins of other isotypes can also be bound by certain FcRs (see, e.g., Janeway et al., Immuno Biology: the immune system in health and disease, (Elsevier Science Ltd., NY) (4th ed., 1999)). Activating receptor FcγRIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor FcγRIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain (reviewed in Daëron, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 15:203-234 (1997)). FcRs are reviewed in Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9:457-92 (1991); Capel et al., Immunomethods 4:25-34 (1994); and de Haas et al., J. Lab. Clin. Med. 126:330-41 (1995). Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term “FcR” herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor, FcRn, which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer et al., J. Immunol. 117:587 (1976); and Kim et al., J. Immunol. 24:249 (1994)). [00216] Modifications in the CH2 domain can affect the binding of FcRs to the Fc. A number of amino acid modifications in the Fc region are known in the art for selectively altering the affinity of the Fc for different Fcgamma receptors. In some aspects, the Fc comprises one or more modifications to promote selective binding of Fc-gamma receptors. [00217] Exemplary mutations that alter the binding of FcRs to the Fc are listed below: [00218] S298A/E333A/K334A, S298A/E333A/K334A/K326A (Lu Y, Vernes JM, Chiang N, et al.

Therapeutic Antibody Engineering (by William R. Strohl and Lila M. Strohl, Woodhead Publishing series in Biomedicine No 11, ISBN 1907568379, Oct 2012) lists mutations on page 283. [00224] In certain embodiments an antibody described herein includes modifications designed to improve its ability to mediate effector function. Such modifications are known in the art and include afucosylation, or engineering of the affinity of the Fc towards an activating receptor, mainly FCGR3a for ADCC, and towards C1q for CDC. The following Table 9 summarizes various designs reported in the literature for effector function engineering. [00225] Methods of producing antibodies with little or no fucose on the Fc glycosylation site (Asn 297 EU numbering) without altering the amino acid sequence are well known in the art. The GlymaX® technology (ProBioGen AG) is based on the introduction of a gene for an enzyme which deflects the cellular pathway of fucose biosynthesis into cells used for antibody production. This prevents the addition of the sugar “fucose” to the N-linked antibody carbohydrate part by antibody-producing cells. (von Horsten et al. (2010) Glycobiology. 2010 Dec; 20 (12):1607-18. Another approach to obtaining antibodies with lowered levels of fucosylation can be found in U.S. Patent No. 8,409,572, which teaches selecting cell lines for antibody production for their ability to yield lower levels of fucosylation on antibodies can be fully afucosylated (meaning they contain no detectable fucose) or they can be partially afucosylated, meaning that the isolated antibody contains less than 95%, less than 85%, less than 75%, less than 65%, less than 55%, less than 45%, less than 35%, less than 25%, less than 15% or less than 5% of the amount of fucose normally detected for a similar antibody produced by a mammalian expression system. [00226] Thus, in one embodiment, an antibody described herein can include a dimeric Fc that comprises one or more amino acid modifications as noted in Table 9 that confer improved 127 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

[00227] Fc modifications designed to reduce FcgR and/or complement binding and/or effector function are known in the art. Recent publications describe strategies that have been used to engineer antibodies with reduced or silenced effector activity (see Strohl, WR (2009), Curr Opin Biotech 20:685-691, and Strohl, WR and Strohl LM, “Antibody Fc engineering for optimal antibody performance” In Therapeutic Antibody Engineering, Cambridge: Woodhead Publishing (2012), pp 225-249). These strategies include reduction of effector function through modification of glycosylation, use of IgG2/IgG4 scaffolds, or the introduction of mutations in the hinge or CH2 regions of the Fc. For example, U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/0212087 (Strohl), International Patent Publication No. WO 2006/105338 (Xencor), U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012/0225058 (Xencor), U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012/0251531 (Genentech), and Strop et al 128 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR ((2012) J. Mol. Biol. 420: 204-219) describe specific modifications to reduce FcgR or complement binding to the Fc.

(2010) Glycobiology. 2010 Dec; 20 (12):1607-18.) Examples of cell lines capable of producing defucosylated antibody include CHO-DG44 with stable overexpression of the bacterial oxidoreductase GDP-6-deoxy-D- lyxo-4-hexylose reductase (RMD) (see Henning von Horsten et al., Glycobiol 2010, 20:1607- 1618) or Lec13 CHO cells, which are deficient in protein fucosylation (see Ripka et al., Arch.

[00231] Antibodies can be fully afucosylated (meaning they contain no detectable fucose) or they can be partially afucosylated, meaning that the antibody contains less than 95%, less than 85%, less than 75%, less than 65%, less than 55%, less than 45%, less than 35%, less than 25%, less than 15% or less than 5% of the amount of fucose normally detected for a similar antibody produced by a mammalian expression system. [00232] In some aspects, an antibody provided herein comprises an IgG1 domain with reduced fucose content at position Asn 297 compared to a naturally occurring IgG1 domain. Such Fc domains are known to have improved ADCC. See Shields et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2002, 130 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

The amount of fucose may be determined using any suitable method, for example as described in WO 2008/077546, incorporated by reference in its entirety. [00233] In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein comprises an Fc region with one or more amino acid substitutions which improve ADCC, such as a substitution at one or more of positions 298, 333, and 334 of the Fc region.

In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein comprise an Fc region with YTE mutations at positions 253, 255 and 257 and with LALA mutations at positions 235 and 236. In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein comprise the heavy and light chain variable regions (VH and VL) as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 39, respectively, and an Fc region comprising YTE mutations at positions 253, 255 and 257, respectively and with LALA mutations at positions 235 and 236, respectively. 134 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR [00247] In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein comprise a human IgG1 Fc with LALA mutations. In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein comprise a human IgG1 Fc with YTE mutations. In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein comprise a human IgG1 Fc with LALA and YTE mutations. In certain embodiments, when direct numbering is used these “YTE” and “LALA” mutations can be located at different amino acid position numbers. For example, in one embodiment, the human Fc region comprises a human IgG1 Fc with LALA mutations at L235A/L236A and/or YTE mutations at M253Y/S255T/T257E. [00248] In certain embodiments, the Fc region binds an Fcγ Receptor selected from the group consisting of: FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIb, FcγRIIc, FcγRIIIa, and FcγRIIIb. In certain embodiments, the Fc region binds an Fcγ Receptor with higher affinity at pH 6.0 compared to an antibody comprising a wild-type Fc region. Modifications YTE Modifications [00249] In certain embodiments, the fragment crystallizable region (Fc region) of the IL-13 antibody described herein carries a triple substitution M252Y/S254T/T256E (YTE) designed to increase the half-life of the IgG. In certain embodiments, the Fc region of the anti-IL-13 antibody described herein carries a triple substitution M253Y/S255T/T257E (YTE) designed to increase the half-life of the IgG. YTE substitutions increase the binding of the modified IgG to the human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). FcRn-bound IgG is recycled via lysosomal salvage, resulting in the IgG returning to the circulation. Thus, the YTE substitutions confer greater FcRn-IgG binding, prolonging the IgG serum half-life compared to an unmodified IgG. LALA Modification [00250] In certain embodiments, the IL-13 antibodies described herein additionally carries Fc region amino acid modifications L234A/L235A or L235A/L236A in the IgG1 heavy chain, commonly called LALA mutations. These changes can impair Fc receptor binding to IgG and prevent undesired effector cell activation. 135 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Binding [00251] In certain embodiments, an IL-13 antibody described herein is a high-affinity IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds IL-13. In certain embodiments, the IL-13 antibody described herein contains YTE and LALA modifications and is built on an IgG1 backbone. [00252] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the binding of the IL-13 antibodies described herein to IL-13 prevent the formation of the IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα active receptor heterodimer and subsequent IL-13-mediated signaling. The direct consequences of IL-13 signaling in atopic dermatitis (AD) pathology include dermal thickening, increased CD4+ T cell infiltration, and dermal barrier disruption. Consequently, preventing receptor heterodimer formation is believed to decrease the clinical severity of AD. [00253] The affinity of a molecule X for its partner Y can be represented by the dissociation equilibrium constant (KD). The kinetic components that contribute to the dissociation equilibrium constant are described in more detail below. Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology (e.g., BIACORE®) or biolayer interferometry (e.g., FORTEBIO®). [00254] With regard to the binding of an antibody to a target molecule, the terms “bind,” “specific binding,” “specifically binds to,” “specific for,” “selectively binds,” and “selective for” a particular antigen (e.g., a polypeptide target) or an epitope on a particular antigen mean binding that is measurably different from a non-specific or non-selective interaction (e.g., with a non- target molecule). Specific binding can be measured, for example, by measuring binding to a target molecule (i.e., IL-13) and comparing it to binding to a non-target molecule. Specific binding can also be determined by competition with a control molecule that mimics the epitope recognized on the target molecule. In that case, specific binding is indicated if the binding of the antibody to the target molecule is competitively inhibited by the control molecule. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non-target molecule is less than about 50% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non- target molecule is less than about 40% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non-target molecule is less than about 30% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non-target molecule is less than about 20% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 136 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR antibody for a non-target molecule is less than about 10% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non-target molecule is less than about 1% of the affinity for IL-13. In certain embodiments, the affinity of an IL-13 antibody for a non- target molecule is less than about 0.1% of the affinity for IL-13. [00255] When used herein in the context of two or more antibodies, the term “competes with” or “cross-competes with” indicates that the two or more antibodies compete for binding to an antigen (e.g., IL-13). In one exemplary assay, IL-13 is coated on a surface and contacted with a first IL-13 antibody, after which a second IL-13 antibody is added. In another exemplary assay, a first IL-13 antibody is coated on a surface and contacted with IL-13, and then a second IL-13 antibody is added. If the presence of the first IL-13 antibody reduces binding of the second IL-13 antibody, in either assay, then the antibodies compete with each other. The term “competes with” also includes combinations of antibodies where one antibody reduces binding of another antibody, but where no competition is observed when the antibodies are added in the reverse order. However, in certain embodiments, the first and second antibodies inhibit binding of each other, regardless of the order in which they are added. In certain embodiments, one antibody reduces binding of another antibody to its antigen by at least 25%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% as measured in a competitive binding assay. A skilled artisan can select the concentrations of the antibodies used in the competition assays based on the affinities of the antibodies for IL-13 and the valency of the antibodies. The assays described in this definition are illustrative, and a skilled artisan can utilize any suitable assay to determine if antibodies compete with each other. Suitable assays are described, for example, in Cox et al., “Immunoassay Methods,” in Assay Guidance Manual [Internet], Updated December 24, 2014 (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92434/; accessed September 29, 2015); Silman et al., Cytometry, 2001, 44:30-37; and Finco et al., J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal., 2011, 54:351-358; each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. [00256] A test antibody competes with a reference antibody if an excess of a test antibody (e.g., at least 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, or 100x) inhibits or blocks binding of the reference antibody by, e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% as measured in a competitive binding assay. Antibodies identified by competition assay (competing antibody) include antibodies binding to the same epitope as the reference antibody and antibodies binding to an adjacent epitope sufficiently proximal to the epitope bound by the reference antibody for steric 137 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR hindrance to occur. For example, a second, competing antibody can be identified that competes for binding to IL-13 with a first antibody described herein. In certain instances, the second antibody can block or inhibit binding of the first antibody by, e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% as measured in a competitive binding assay. In certain instances, the second antibody can displace the first antibody by greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99%. [00257] In certain embodiments, the antibody binds an IL-13 sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 472-475. [00258] In certain embodiments, the antibody binds to an IL-13 sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 472-475 with a KD of less than or equal to about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 x 10-9 M, as measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

Methods of Use [00320] The present application provides compositions comprising a formulation or vial described herein for use in the treatment of an inflammatory disorder or disease. In some embodiments, the present application also provides compositions comprising a formulation or vial (e.g., pre-filled syringe) described herein for use in methods of treating inflammatory, allergic, and immunologic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, in a patient in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. In certain embodiments, the patient has had moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis for at least one year. In certain embodiments, the patient is a pediatric patient. [00321] In certain embodiments, the patient has one or more of: (a) an Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) of ≥10 (e.g., an EASI of ≥16 or an EASI ≥10 and <16), (b) an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of ≥3 and (c) a body surface area (BSA) of ≥10%. In certain embodiments, the patient has an Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) of ≥10. In certain embodiments, the patient has an Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) of ≥16. In certain embodiments, the patient has an Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI) of ≥10 and less than 16. In certain embodiments, the patient has an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of ≥3. In certain embodiments, the patient has a body surface area (BSA) of ≥10%. [00322] The “Investigator Global Assessment” or “IGA” is an assessment measure used globally to rate the severity of the patient’s AD (Simpson E, et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2020;83(3):839-846). It is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe) and a 154 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR score is selected using descriptors that best describe the overall appearance of the lesions at a given time point. It is not necessary that all characteristics under Morphological Description be present. The IGA can be conducted prior to conducting the EASI and BSA assessments. [00323] The “Eczema Area and Severity Index” or “EASE is a measure used in clinical settings to assess the severity and extent of AD (Hanifin et al., Exp Dermatol. 2001; 10: 11-18). EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72, with the higher values indicating more severe and or extensive disease. The severity of erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification can be assessed by a clinician or other medical professional on a scale of 0 (absent) to 3 (severe) for each of the 4 body areas: head and neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, with half points allowed. In addition, the extent of AD involvement in each of the 4 body areas can be assessed as a percentage by body surface area of head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. A total score (0 – 72) is assigned based on the sum of total scores for each of the four body region scores. [00324] The “Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis” or “SCORAD” is a validated clinical tool for assessing the extent and intensity of AD developed by the European Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis (Consensus report of the European Task Force on Atopic Dermatitis. Dermatology. 1993; 186(l):23-31). There are 3 components to the assessment: (i) the extent of AD is assessed as a percentage of each defined body area and reported as the sum of all areas, with a score ranging from 0 to 100 (assigned as “A” in the overall SCORAD calculation); (ii) the severity of 6 symptoms of AD: redness, swelling, oozing/crusting, excoriation, skin thickening/lichenification, dryness. Each item is graded as follows: none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3) (for a maximum of 18 total points, assigned as “B” in the overall SCORAD calculation); (iii) subjective assessment of itch and of sleeplessness is recorded for each symptom using a visual analogue scale (VAS), where 0 is no itch (or sleeplessness) and 10 is the worst imaginable itch (or sleeplessness), with a maximum possible score of 20 (assigned as “C” in the overall SCORAD calculation). The SCORAD Index formula is: A/5 + 7B/2 + C. The maximal score of the SCORAD Index is 103. [00325] Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is an 11 -point scale used by patients (and if applicable, with help of parents/ caregiver if required) to rate their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours with 0 indicating “No itch” and 10 indicating “Worst itch imaginable” (Phan NQ, et al. Acta Derm Venereol 2012; 92: 502-507). Assessments are recorded by the patient daily 155 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR using an electronic diary. The baseline pruritus NRS is determined based on the average of daily Pruritus NRS during the 7 days immediately preceding baseline. A minimum of 4 daily scores out of the 7 days immediately preceding baseline is required for this calculation. [00326] Sleep loss scale rates patient’s sleep loss due to pruritus on a 5-point Likert scale (with scores ranging from 0 [not at all], 1 [a little], 2 [moderately], 3 [quite a bit], to 4 [unable to sleep at all]). Assessments will be recorded daily by the patient using an electronic diary. [00327] The Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) is a 7-item, validated, questionnaire completed by the patient (and if applicable, with help of parents/ caregiver if required) to assess disease symptoms over the last week (Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology. POEM – Patient Oriented Eczema Measure. Available at www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/cebd/resources/poem.aspx). Patients are asked to respond to 7 questions on skin dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding, and weeping. All 7 answers carry equal weight with a total possible score from 0 to 28 (answers scored as: No days=0; 1- 2 days = 1; 3-4 days = 2; 5-6 days = 3; everyday = 4). A high score is Indicative of a poor quality of life. POEM responses are captured weekly using an electronic diary. [00328] The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a 10-item, validated questionnaire completed by the patient or caregiver, used to assess the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of the patient (Finlay, A. Y. and Khan, G. K. 1994. Clinical and Experimental Dermatology 1993 Sep 23; 19:210-216). The 10 questions cover the following topics: symptoms, embarrassment, shopping and home care, clothes, social and leisure, sport, work or study, close relationships, sex, and treatment, over the previous week. Each question is scored from 0 to 3 (“not at all,” “a little,” “a lot,” and “very much”), giving a total score ranging from 0 to 30. A high score is indicative of a poor quality of life.

EXAMPLES [00343] The disclosure now being generally described, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure in any way. Example 1: Formulation of an Anti-Interleukin 13 Antibody: pH and Buffer Studies [00344] This Example describes formulation studies of an interleukin 13 (IL-13) antibody, Construct 133. In formulating the antibody, twelve pH/buffers were investigated under stress conditions (40 °C for up to 4 weeks) to select pH and buffer system that stabilize the antibody. [00345] A panel of analytical methods were used to characterize the pH and buffer studies, including appearance, pH, protein concentration, size exclusion-ultra performance liquid chromatography (SE-UPLC), imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (iCIEF), chip method of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide capillary electrophoresis (non-reduced and reduced, Caliper-SDS-NR & R, respectively), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), described below. [00346] The pH studies evaluated pH from about 4.5 to about 7.5, such as pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5. It was determined that the range of 5.5 to 6.5 was suitable for a formulation described 160 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR herein, and a pH of 5.8 was selected due to its favorable results in SE-UPLC experiments. Buffers tested included a histidine buffer (i.e., combination L-histidine and L-histidine HCl buffer), an acetate buffer, a succinate buffer, and a phosphate buffer (PB). The histidine, acetate, and succinate buffers stabilized the antibody well. Materials and Methods Appearance [00347] The appearance of samples, including color, clarity, and visible particles, was examined against black and white background using YB-2 lightbox. Light intensity of lightbox was set as 2000~3750 lx. Protein Concentration (A280) [00348] Protein concentration was measured using a UV/visual light absorbance spectrometer (Lunatic, Unchained Labs or SoloVPE). According to the Lambert-Beer law, the concentration of a protein solution was calculated based on its absorbance at a given wavelength, the cuvette cell path length, and extinction coefficient value. The absorbance at 280 nm relied on the absorption properties of the aromatic amino acid residues in a respective protein. After loading a 2 μL sample volume, the spectrometer was used to measure the absorbance in two cuvettes in parallel, and the concentration value was calculated. The SoloVPE system was dependent on the variable pathlength Spectroscopy Technology. Slope m= A/L was obtained by measuring the absorbance at multiple different path lengths (>5 data points). Through the curve of path length and absorbance, the slope m was calculated. As C=m/ε, with ε and m known, the concentration was calculated. The extinction coefficient used in this evaluation was 1.45 (mg/mL)-1-cm-1. pH [00349] The pH of samples was measured using a pH meter with a glass electrode at 25 ℃. The pH meter was calibrated with three different standards (pH 4.01, 7.00, and 9.21) prior to usage. The slope of calibration was between 95.0% to 105.0%. Each sample was measured twice, and an average result was reported. SE-UPLC [00350] SE-UPLC was used as a purity analysis method to separate proteins based on their sizes. Size exclusion chromatography was performed on an Agilent UPLC system with a size 161 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR exclusion chromatography (SEC) column (Waters Acquity BEH 150×4.6 mm, 1.7 μm). The sampler temperature was set to 5 ± 3 °C and the column oven temperature was set as 25 ± 3 °C. The mobile phase was 50 mM PB, 300 mM NaCl, pH 6.8 ± 0.1; and the flow rate was set as 0.4 mL/min. 10 μg of each sample was injected. Detection wavelength was set at 280 nm and the run time was 8 min. Data was analyzed by Agilent CDS Software. iCIEF [00351] iCIEF was used to monitor the distribution of charged variants. The isoelectric point (pI), which is an intrinsic property of a given protein, is the pH at which the protein molecule did not carry net electrical charge. Under an external electric field, the charge variants moved along a continuous pH gradient formed by carrier ampholytes and stopped where the pH equaled its pI. [00352] Antibody samples were mixed with master mixture to generate loading mixture, which contained 4.0 μL Pharmalyte 3-10, 35 μL 1% MC, 0.5 μL pI marker 4.65, 0.5 μL pI marker 9.22, 37.5 μL 8 M urea solution, and 2.5 μL ultrapure water at a final protein concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. The loading mixture was loaded into a Maurice iCIEF cartridge and analyzed with Maurice Capillary Isoelectric Focusing Analyzer with whole-column detection camera. After the analysis, the raw data were processed with Empower 3. Caliper-SDS-NR & R [00353] Non-reduced Caliper Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS, Caliper-SDS-NR) was performed based on a PerkinElmer Caliper automated electrophoresis that allowed protein separation by size. In the non-reduced microchip capillary electrophoresis (CE) SDS (CE-SDS) analysis, samples were diluted to 1 mg/mL with pure water. 2 μL of diluted samples were mixed with 7 μL of the sample denaturing solution (the mixture of sample buffer, 10% SDS solution, and 100 mM N- Ethylmaleimide (NEM), with the volume ratio of 100:10:4). The well-mixed samples were incubated at 70 ℃ for 10 min. 35 μL of water was added to each sample, vortexed for 10 seconds, and centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 1 min. 42 μL of the prepared samples were transferred to a 96-well plate, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 15 min, placed onto a Labchip GXII’s plate holder, separated, and detected in the HT Protein Express LabChip filled with destain-gel, gel-dye, and lower marker. Results were analyzed with LabChip GX Reviewer software. [00354] Reduced Caliper SDS (Caliper-SDS-R) was performed based on a PerkinElmer Caliper automated electrophoresis that allowed protein separation by size after reduction of 162 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR sample. In the reduced microchip CE-SDS analysis, samples were diluted to 1 mg/mL with pure water. 2 μL of diluted samples were mixed with 7 μL of the sample denaturing solution (the mixture of sample buffer, 10% SDS solution, and 1 M dithiothreitol as a reduction agent, with the volume ratio of 100:10:4). The well-mixed samples were incubated at 70 ℃ for 10 min. 35 μL of water was added to each sample, vortexed for 10 seconds, and centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 1 min. 42 μL of the prepared samples were transferred to a 96-well plate, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 15 min, placed onto a Labchip GXII’s plate holder, separated, and detected in the HT Protein Express LabChip filled with destain-gel, gel-dye, and lower marker. Results were analyzed with LabChip GX Reviewer software. DSC [00355] The DSC thermos-analytical technique was used to characterize the thermal stability of protein samples and assess conformational differences between them. Measurements were performed on MicroCalTM VP Capillary DSC for thermal transition midpoint (Tm) and onset of unfolding (TOnset) testing. Samples were diluted to 1 mg/mL with the reference buffer. 400 μL of respective reference buffers were added into the odd-numbered wells of a 96-well plate, and 400 μL of samples were added into the even-numbered wells of the same plate. Experimental parameters were set such that the scan temperature ramped from 10 °C to 95 °C at a scan rate of 200 °C/hour. Data analysis was performed in MicroCal VP Capillary DSC automated data analysis software. Results [00356] A total of 12 pH/buffer systems covering the pH range from 4.5 to 7.5 were designed, including 20 mM acetate buffer (pH 4.5, pH 5.0, and pH 5.5), 20 mM succinate buffer (pH 5.0, pH 5.5, and pH 6.0), 20 mM histidine buffer (pH 5.5, pH 6.0, and pH 6.5; histidine buffers refers throughout Examples to a combination of L-histidine and L-histidine HCl), and 20 mM phosphate buffer (PB) (pH 6.5, pH 7.0, and pH 7.5). The antibody was buffer-exchanged into 12 buffers, then concentrated to target protein concentration (150 mg/mL), respectively. Each of the 12 solutions was filtered with a 0.22 μm polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filter and filled into 2 mL glass vials (1 mL per vial), then stoppered, capped, and labeled. Each of the twelve samples was tested for appearance, protein concentration, SE-UPLC, iCIEF, Caliper-SDS-NR & R, DSC, 163 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR and pH at Day 0. Additionally, at Day 0, after testing, the twelve samples were stored at 40 °C for up to 4 weeks. At Week 2 and Week 4, the samples were further tested for appearance, protein concentration, SE-UPLC, iCIEF, and Caliper-SDS-NR & R. [00357] Appearance: all samples remained slightly yellow, slightly opalescent, liquid, and free of visible particles after incubation at 40 °C for 4 weeks. The sample opalescent strength varied across formulations with different buffer type, with opalescent strength greatest in the PB group, followed in-order by, succinate, histidine, and acetate. With an increase of pH, the opalescent intensity increased gradually in succinate and PB buffer groups. [00358] pH and protein concentration: the pH and protein concentration of the formulations were assessed over 4 weeks. The pH was observed near the target value at T0, and protein concentration (approximately 150.0 mg/mL) of all candidates remained relatively consistent after 4 weeks of incubation at 40 °C compared to those at T0, indicating that these parameters were stable under the tested thermal stress condition. [00359] SE-UPLC: All candidates showed a decline in the main peak % (2.4% to 16.8%) after 4 weeks of incubation at 40 °C. This change was the most pronounced in the acetate buffer at pH 4.5 (B1) and PB buffer at pH 7.5 (B12), while the acetate buffer at pH 5.5 (B3) and histidine buffer at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively) showed the smallest changes in main peak purity and high molecular weight species (HMW). Taken together, the results of the SE-UPLC experiments demonstrated that the antibody was the least stable in the acetate buffer at pH 4.5 (B1) and PB buffer at pH 7.5 (B12), and most stable in the acetate buffer at pH 5.5 (B3) and histidine buffer at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively). [00360] Caliper-SDS-NR & R: For Caliper-SDS-NR, the purity of all samples decreased with the increase of incubation time at 40 °C for up to 4 weeks (up to 22.0%). Acetate at pH 4.5 (B1), PB at pH 7.0 and 7.5 (B11 and B12, respectively) showed a faster and greater decline (> 8% by 4 weeks) than the samples in the other pH/buffer systems. Samples in the succinate and histidine buffer systems, particularly succinate at pH 6.0 (B6) and histidine at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8 and B9, respectively) performed relatively better. For Caliper-SDS-R, less changes were seen in all the samples (up to 10.8%) compared with Caliper-SDS-NR results, indicating that the fragmentation of the protein may, without being bound by theory, be primarily caused by inter- chain disulfide bonds breakage during incubation at 40 °C. There was a decline in the purity after 4 weeks of incubation at 40 °C in the samples formulated in acetate at pH 4.5 (B1), succinate at 164 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR pH 5.0 (B4), and PB at pH 7.0 and 7.5 (B11, and B12, respectively). Aside from the change in these four samples, no substantial difference in purity was observed among the other samples. Taken together, the results of the Caliper-SDS-NR & R experiments demonstrated that the succinate buffer at pH 6.0 (B) and histidine buffer at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively) performed relatively better in improving the stability of the antibody protein compared with other buffers. [00361] iCIEF: The measured pI value of all samples was 8.0. A decline in the main peak % (more than 26.2% for acetate at pH 4.5 and 5.0 (B1 and B2, respectively), succinate at pH 5.0 and 5.5 (B4 and B5, respectively), and PB buffer) was seen in all buffers after incubation at 40 °C for 4 weeks. Taken together, the results of the iCIEF studies demonstrated that the histidine buffer system performed better than the succinate and acetate buffer systems, followed by the PB buffer. Specifically, histidine at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively) showed the best performance, followed by succinate at pH 6.0 (B6) and acetate at pH 5.5 (B3). Further, the data from the iCIEF study indicated that the antibody protein was most stable in buffer systems with pH from 6.5 to 5.5 (except for PB buffer at pH 6.5 (B10) and succinate buffer at pH 5.5 (B5)), among which, the histidine at pH 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively) buffer performed the best. [00362] DSC: the TOnset (°C) and Tm values (Tm1, Tm2, and Tm3 at °C) increased with the increase of pH for the same buffer (except for histidine buffer at pH 6.5 (B9)). Additionally, TOnset values were higher than 55.0 °C in all formulations except acetate buffer at pH 4.5 (B1) and succinate buffer at pH 5.0 (B4), indicating good conformational thermal stability overall. [00363] In summary, the pH/buffer studies investigated twelve pH/buffer types under stress conditions (40 °C for up to 4 weeks), and the results showed that stability of the antibody was dependent upon both the pH and buffer. Taken together, the studies herein demonstrated relatively poor protein stability in acetate at pH 4.5 and 5.0 (B1 and B2, respectively), succinate at pH 5.0 and 5.5 (B4 and B5, respectively) and all PB buffer systems (pH 6.5-7.5, B10-B12, respectively). Good protein stability was observed in acetate at pH 5.5 (B3), succinate at pH 5.5 (B6), and histidine buffer systems overall (pH 5.5-6.5, B7-B9, respectively). Given these results, it was identified that a histidine buffer, an acetate buffer, or a succinate buffer can be used to formulate an IL-13 antibody. Among the twelve total formulations tested, histidine at pH 5.5, 165 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR 6.0, and 6.5 (B7, B8, and B9, respectively) showed the best performance, followed by acetate at pH 5.5 (B3) and succinate at pH 6.0 (B6). [00364] A formulation including an IL-13 antibody and a histidine buffer at pH 6.0 (B8) was further investigated for optimal excipient and surfactant strength (see Example 2). Example 2: Formulation of an Anti-IL-13 Antibody: Excipients and Surfactant Strength Studies [00365] This Example describes formulation studies of an IL-13 antibody. In formulating the antibody, different types of excipients (e.g., sucrose, α/α-trehalose dihydrate, and L-arginine hydrochloride (Arg-HCl), L-methionine, etc.), as well as various concentration of a polysorbate (e.g., polysorbate 80 (PS80) at 0.02% w/v, 0.04% w/v, and 0.06% w/v) and a poloxamer (e.g., poloxamer 188 (P188) at 0.05% w/v, 0.08% w/v, and 0.10% w/v) were evaluated under stress conditions (40 °C for up to 4 weeks, agitation at 300 rpm for up to 3 days, and freeze and thaw for up to 5 cycles) to select suitable excipients and surfactant strengths to improve protein stability. A panel of analytical methods were used to characterize the excipients and surfactant strengths, including appearance, pH, protein concentration, SE-UPLC, Caliper-SDS-NR & R, and iCIEF (the Methods of which are described in Example 1), as well as osmolality, viscosity, and amount of sub-visible particles by micro-flow imaging (MFI), described below. [00366] Among the different excipients tested, L-methionine was selected for further testing based upon the Caliper-SDS-NR & R data showing well-preserved purity as well as the SE- UPLC data that demonstrated that it helped maintain high molecular weight species (HMW). Additionally, the excipient L-arginine was selected for further testing based upon data that demonstrated that it improved (decreased) viscosity.

Before and after the tests, the testing accuracy of the osmometer was confirmed with a Clinitrol 290 mOsm/kg reference solution. The sample volume for testing was 20 μL, and only one test was performed for each sample. Viscosity [00370] A viscosity test was used to characterize the fluid properties of liquid sample. Measurements were performed by a VROC® initium one plus viscometer (Rheosense). When the sample fluid flowed through the VROC® chip with controlled flow rates, the pressure drop 167 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR of the fluid was detected by the sensors and the viscosity at a certain shear rate was determined using the Hagen-Poiseuille Principle. 35 µL of samples were loaded on A05 chip and the set chip temperature was 25 ± 0.1°C. The viscosity of the sample was measured at 3 different shear rates, and the testing at each shear rate was repeated 3 times. The mean value was reported as the final viscosity. MFI [00371] Sub-visible particles were monitored by a Micro Flow Imaging (MFI) system. 1.5 mL of each sample was transferred into the MFI 96-well plate for analysis. The results were analyzed by the vendor’s MVSS software. The sub-visible particle amount in the equivalent circular diameter over 2 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, and 25 μm was reported. Stress Conditions [00372] For freeze and thaw (FT), samples were completely frozen at -70 °C and thawed at room temperature (RT). For thermal stress, samples were stored at 40 °C for up to 4 weeks. For agitation stress, samples were agitated at 300 rpm at 25 °C, for up to 3 days. Study Design [00373] The study design is outlined in Table 12.

[00376] Appearance: All formulations remained slightly yellow, slightly opalescent, liquid, and free of visible particles. Formulations E4 (4% sucrose, 50 mM Arg-HCl, 0.02% PS80) and E5 (135 mM Arg-HCl, 0.02% PS80), both of which contain Arg-HCl, showed relatively stronger opalescence than other formulations. However, no substantial changes of opalescence were observed in E4 and E5 with the increase of incubation time for up to 4 weeks at 40 ℃. [00377] Osmolality, viscosity, and pH: As shown in Table 14, the pH of all the tested formulations was reported at their target value at T0. The osmolality, which is not a stability- indicative parameter, of all samples was approximately 285 mOsm/kg to 320 mOsm/kg, which demonstrated suitability for subcutaneous administration. The viscosity of all samples was between 5.9 mPa-s to 9.3 mPa-s, where the addition of Arg-HCl (E4 and E5) reduced the viscosity compared to those of other formulations.

[00379] Sub-visible particle (MFI): Compared with T0, no substantial changes were observed in the amount of sub-visible particles (≥ 2 μm, ≥10 μm, or ≥ 25 μm) after FT for 5 cycles, agitation for 3 days, or 40 °C incubation for 4 weeks in all tested formulations. By comparing samples within the same buffer system but different excipients (E1-E7), no differences of the amount of sub-visible particles were observed. Additionally, there were no obvious differences in the amount of the sub-visible particles in E1 (0.02% PS80), E8 (0.04% PS80), E9 (0.06% PS80), E10 (0.10% P188), E11 (0.08% P188), and E12 (0.05% P188). [00380] SE-UPLC: The data summary from the SE-UPLC testing for excipients and surfactants strength study is provided in Table 15. After freeze and thaw for 5 cycles or agitation for 3 days, the main peak % of all the test formulations remained at approximately 99.0% indicating consistent antibody freeze and thaw stability and agitation stability under the studied parameter in all studied formulations. [00381] After incubation at 40 °C for 4 weeks, the main peak % in all formulations declined by up to 2.9% compared to T0, although the differences were small. E8 and E9 (Sucrose, 0.04% and 0.06% PS80) showed slightly lower main peak levels. In addition, E2 (Sucrose, Methionine, 171 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

[00383] After freeze and thaw for 5 cycles or agitation for 3 days, both Caliper-SDS-NR & R testing data indicated that purity remained stable. After incubation at 40 °C for 4 weeks, the purity for all formulations remained stable in the Caliper-SDS-R testing. Slight 2.6% to 4.1% declines of Caliper-SDS-NR purity were observed in all formulations except E2 (Sucrose, Methionine, 0.02% PS80), which showed the lowest change of 2.0% decline in the main peak. 177 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Together, this data indicated that under thermal condition (40 ℃ incubation for 4 weeks) slight declines in Caliper-SDS-NR purity and Caliper-SDS-R were observed in all formulations. [00384] iCIEF: The measured pI value of all samples was 8.3. After freeze and thaw for 5 cycles or agitation for 3 days, no substantial changes of main peak % were observed in all samples. After incubation at 40 °C for 4 weeks, 19.5% to 24.4% iCIEF main peak % declines were observed in all formulations compared to T0, where E4 and E5 (both containing Arg-HCl) showed the lowest changes of main peak % (< 20%). Overall, all samples degraded similarly. [00385] The results of the studies undertaken to select one or more excipients and identify optimal surfactant strength to maximize the antibody protein stability are summarized qualitatively in Table 16. By comparing formulations with different excipients (E1-E7), E2 (Sucrose, Methionine), E4 (Sucrose, Arg-HCl), and E5 (Arg-HCl) showed relatively better performance compared to other formulations. E1 (Sucrose), E3 (Sucrose, EDTA-2Na), E6 (Trehalose dihydrate), and E7 (Sorbitol) showed acceptable performance. By comparing formulations with different surfactant types and strength, E1, E8, E9 (0.02%, 0.04% and 0.06% PS80, respectively), E10, E11, and E12 (0.10%, 0.08% and 0.05% P188, respectively) showed comparable and good performance. 178 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR [00386] Methionine and sucrose were selected as the leading excipients and the three excipients Arg-HCl, glycine, and proline underwent further testing (See Example 3). Also, considering the large volume, antibody freeze-thaw stability, and antibody long-term storage stability, 0.04% PS80 was selected for further studies. Therefore, variations of a formulation including 20 mM histidine buffer, 10 mM Methionine, and 0.04% (w/v) PS80 at pH 6.0 were further tested with or without sucrose and Arg-HCl (or other excipients e.g., glycine and proline), as described in Example 3. Example 3: Formulation of an Anti-IL-13 Antibody: Viscosity and Osmolality Studies [00387] This Example describes formulation studies of an IL-13 antibody. In formulating the antibody, a key parameter was viscosity. Different excipients (e.g., Arg-HCl, glycine, and proline) were evaluated for their ability to improve formulation viscosity, while maximizing protein stability. A panel of analytical methods were used to characterize the viscosity excipient studies, including appearance, MFI, protein concentration, SE-UPLC, pH, osmolality, and viscosity (the Methods of which are described in Example 1 and Example 2). As described throughout Examples 1-2, the formulations selected for this stage of testing included a pH of about 5.8 due to its favorable results in SE-UPLC experiments (see Example 1), a histidine buffer (or comparable acetate or succinate buffer, respectively) and L-methionine, which was demonstrated to help control HMW formation and antibody purity (see Example 2). In the experiments herein, the excipient L-arginine was identified as useful for reducing viscosity. Methods [00388] In brief, the IL-13 antibody was in a histidine buffer system at pH 6.0 with protein concentration at 257 mg/mL. Stock solutions of 50% (w/w) sucrose, 1400 mM Arg.HCl, 200 mM L-Methionine, 2400 mM Glycine, 2400 mM L-Proline and 5% (w/w) PS80 were prepared. The required amounts of antibody, excipient stock solutions and surfactant stock solutions were calculated, weighed and well-mixed based on the formulation recipes listed in Table 17. Each of the formulation solutions were filtered with a 0.22 μm PVDF filter and filled into 2 mL (2R) glass vials (2.4 mL per vial), then stoppered, capped and labeled immediately. All samples filtration and aliquoting were carried out with aseptic procedures in a biosafety cabinet. 181 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR [00390] All formulations remained slightly yellow, slightly opalescent, liquid, and free of visible particles. Formulations F4, F5, F9, F10 and F15 (containing Arg.HCl) showed slightly stronger turbidity than other formulations, and the opalescence of all formulations was in the range from 3 NTU to 18 NTU. The sub-visible particles, protein concentration, SEC-ULPC data, pH, osmolality, and viscosity data of the above-described 15 formulations is shown in Table 18, and the viscosity data is further depicted in FIG. 1. The data in Table 18 and FIG. 1 show that inclusion of the excipient Arg-HCl reduced viscosity compared to corresponding glycine and proline groups. [00391] Arg-HCl was selected as a viscosity modulator, and further experiments were conducted to identify a suitable Arg-HCl concentration to enable a high protein concentration, yet reduce viscosity. [00392] To assess Arg-HCl and antibody protein concentrations that minimize viscosity and achieve osmolality in an acceptable range, further analytical testing was conducted. Analytical testing included measurement of protein concentration, pH, osmolality, and viscosity at 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. The results are shown in Table 19 and Table 20, with Table 19 outlining the formulations used in the experiments of Table 20. [00393] It was observed that both Arg-HCl concentration and product concentration impacted viscosity. Protein concentration was the main contributor to viscosity in the range of Arg-HCl tested. The 190 mM Arg formulations had a osmolality higher than desired for a subcutaneous formulation. The feasibility of manufacturing both a 200 mg/mL formulation and a 180 mg/mL formulation was demonstrated. Based upon the results of these studies, three formulations were identified for further testing: Formulation A: 10 mM His buffer, 10 mM Met, 150 mM Arg-HCl, 0.05% PS80, pH 5.8; Formulation B: 10 mM His buffer, 10 mM Met, 80 mM Arg-HCl, 3%(w/v) sucrose, 0.05% PS80, pH 5.8; and Formulation C: 10 mM His buffer, 10 mM Met, 120 mM Arg-HCl, 0.05% PS80, pH 5.8. [00394] Additional osmolality and viscosity experiments of the three formulations are shown in Table 21, which were used to characterize the formulations over a range of antibody protein concentration. [00395] No major stability issues were observed for the selected formulations, and the results demonstrated that there was no impact to product quality as assayed by the analytical testing 185 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR panel. pH and protein concentration were close to the target, and the osmolality ranged from approximately 280 mOsm/kg to 390 mOsm/kg. [00396] Taken together, based on the experiments described in this Example, Arg-HCl was selected for inclusion in the final formulation as a viscosity modifier and L-Methionine was included in the formulation based on experiments described in Example 2, particularly the finding that L-methionine helped control HMW formation and antibody purity. Additionally, sucrose may be advantageous as a cryoprotectant, however it increased viscosity and osmolality. Based upon this, the inclusion of sucrose was further tested with a reduced concentration of L- arginine to compensate for the impact to osmolality in long term storage and stability studies described in Example 6 and Example 7.

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Example 4: Formulation of an Anti-IL-13 Antibody: UFDF Studies [00397] Because ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UFDF) enables material to be prepared as a concentrated solution in a buffer of choice, ensuring that a formulation was compatible with a UFDF step was desirable, particularly as this step often presents challenges when the protein solution has a high viscosity. High viscosity can present challenges for the UFDF step due to increased back-pressure in the system as the protein gets more concentrated. As the pressure builds, the processing time gets longer and exposes the product to more shear stress. In these experiments, different diafiltration (DF) buffers were evaluated to see what impact Arg-HCl had on viscosity and manufacturing feasibility. Diafiltration was performed using a Millipore, PES Type D Screen, 30 kDa membrane, as well as the DF buffers listed in Table 22, below. An overconcentrated (OC) pool was analyzed, and the pH, osmolality, viscosity, and protein percent yield data was determined, as shown in Table 22. [00398] In conclusion, it was observed that the addition of Arg-HCl to the DF buffer reduced the viscosity of the UFDF pool. The protein concentration also impacted the viscosity, and the increase in pH and reduction in the histidine concentration from the Donnan effect was reduced as the Arg-HCl concentration was increased in the DF buffer. [00399] To identify how to prepare the formulation by UFDF to identify suitable formulations, the DF buffer was evaluated for its impact on pH from the Donnan effect during UFDF (3 runs at different pH). Further, the excipient concentrations following UFDF due to the Donnan effect were evaluated. The experiment consisted of: Run 1: 904.4 g/m2, Run 2: 965.8 g/m2, and Run 3: 971.9 g/m2 using a Millipore, PES Type D Screen, 30 kDa membrane with 2 × 0.11 m2 for Run 1 and 3 × 88 cm2 for Runs 2 and 3. The DF buffers tested were 15 mM His-HCl, 120 mM Arg-HCl with a pH of 5.7, 5.5, and 5.9 for Runs 1-3, respectively. The results are provided in Table 23. [00400] In comparison to the load sample, all overconcentrated pool (OC) samples showed a minimal (less than 0.3%) SEC-UPLC purity loss, and the yields with chase sample consistently exceed 95%. This ensured the maintenance of sample quality and yield throughout the process. The excipient concentrations shifted due to the Donnan effect, while the pH shift remained minimal (less than 0.1), consistent with the experiments described in Table 22.

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Example 5: Formulation of an Anti-IL-13 Antibody: Injectability Study [00401] This Example describes injectability studies to evaluate whether the forces required for injection would be acceptable for the formulation, as described and developed in Examples 1-4, of an IL-13 antibody. As described throughout Examples 1-3, the formulations selected for this stage of testing included a pH of about 5.8 due to its favorable results in SE-UPLC experiments (see Example 1), a histidine buffer (or comparable acetate or succinate buffer, respectively), L-methionine, which was demonstrated to help control HMW formation and antibody purity (see Example 2), and the excipient Arg-HCl, based on its ability to reduce viscosity (see Example 3). Materials and Methods [00402] The break-loose force and glide force method quantitatively measured the forces required to complete a prefilled syringe (PFS) injection (i.e., expel the content of the PFS). Break-loose force was defined as the force required to cause a change (from a rested position) in the plunger stopper position. Glide force (maximum glide force) was defined as the maximum force measured on the glide force profile during the course of expelling the contents of a PFS. The test was conducted with an Instron materials testing machine-34TM-5 equipped with a 2000N load cell. The load cell was selected based on the sample property (the maximum force is within the 70% of the load cell range). The crosshead moved at a 140 mm/min speed to apply compressive force to the PFS plunger rod. The measured compression force was recorded at 60 Hz as the content of the PFS being extruded (expelled). The measurement stopped when the force reached end of test criteria where the plunger stopper hits the end of syringe barrel. Data are reported numerically in 2 decimal places (N). [00403] The required amounts of material, excipient stock solutions, and surfactant stock solution were calculated, weighed, and well-mixed to prepare formulations with the target protein concentration at 220 mg/mL according to the formulation recipes listed in Table 24. Then, a stepwise gravimetric dilution on protein concentration from 220 mg/mL to 170 mg/mL in 10 mg/mL increments was performed with the respective formulation buffers. Each of the formulation solution were filtered with a 0.22 μm PES filter. All sample filtration and aliquoting was carried out with aseptic procedures in a bio-safety cabinet. 192 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Results [00404] The study was conducted in triplicate. Pre-filled syringes with plunger stoppers and standard syringes were evaluated. The formulations tested in the injectability studies are outlined in Table 24. It was observed that the increase of Arg-HCl concentration from 120 mM to 150 mM led to an increasing osmolality, but no substantial difference in viscosity were observed between these two formulations. The formulation with 3% sucrose had a higher viscosity than the other two formulations, and with the protein concentration increase, the osmolality and viscosity showed a substantial increase. [00405] Based upon the force data, provided in Table 25 and FIG. 2, it was observed that as the protein concentration increased, the Max/Average gliding force increased, and it was determined that a pre-filled syringe was suitable for administration of a formulation described herein. For the standard syringe with the 25 gauge needle, clogging of the needle was observed for many of the samples. The clogging may have been due to differences between the two formats in syringe barrel cross-sectional area, needle wall thickness, silicone distribution, and/or needle length.

[00406] This Example describes long term stability studies, under different conditions, of the IL-13 antibody formulation described and developed in Examples 1-5. Materials and Methods [00407] A panel of analytical methods were used to evaluate long-term storage conditions, the Methods of which are described in Example 1 and Example 2 and in the Potency section, below. In brief, formulated antibody was used to fill either a 2R glass vial and stopper (e.g.. Schott cat no 1626151 and West cat no 1970-0173) to represent a drug product configuration or a Sartorius Celsius FFT bag to represent a drug substance configuration. The vial configuration was tested at 5 ℃ (the intended storage temperature), 25 ℃, or 40 ℃, as well as for photostability under dark versus light conditions. The higher temperatures and photostability conditions were intended to evaluate more stressful conditions to provide an early indication of potential degradation pathways that may occur during long term storage at the intended storage 194 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR temperature and/or manufacturing procedures. The bag configuration was tested at -70 ℃ and for freeze thaw cycles to evaluate stability during long term storage and/or manufacturing procedures. Potency [00408] The binding assay used was an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine, which regulates the function of human B cells and monocytes. In this assay, IL-13 was immobilized onto a 96-well plate. WBP2546 was added and bound to the captured human IL-13. The bound WBP2546 was detected by anti-human IgG (F(ab’)₂ specific)-peroxidase secondary antibody. 3,3',5,5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate solution was loaded into the wells subsequently. A blue color developed in proportion to the amount of bound secondary antibody. Blue color development was stopped by adding stop solution and the color changed to yellow. The measured absorbance at 450 nm was subtracted from absorbance at 650 nm, producing a signal that was proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the well. [00409] Dose response curves were plotted according to a 4-parameter logistic (Auto- Estimate) regression model using the Softmax Pro Software for samples, as well as control and reference standards. Relative binding potency of the sample was calculated using the EC50 of reference to samples on the same plate derived from 4-parameter logistic fit. Results [00410] Formulated antibody was used to fill either a 2R glass vial to represent a drug product configuration or a Sartorius Celsius FFT bag to represent a drug substance configuration. The vial configuration was tested at 5 ℃ (the intended storage temperature), 25 ℃, or 40 ℃ as well as for photostability under dark versus light conditions, The higher temperatures and photostability conditions were intended to evaluate more stressful conditions to provide an early indication of potential degradation pathways that may occur during long term storage at the intended storage temperature and/or manufacturing procedures. The bag configuration was tested at -70 ℃ and for freeze thaw cycles to evaluate stability during long term storage and/or manufacturing procedures. [00411] Using a fill volume of 2.7 mL per vial or bag, three formulations (F1, F2, and F3), outlined in Table 26, were tested under the various conditions. As described throughout 195 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR [00414] As shown in Table 28, no substantial changes in F1, F2, and F3, were observed after storage at 5 ℃ for 1 month for any of the tested attributes. [00415] After incubation at 25 ℃ for 1 month, small (0.5% - 0.6%) SEC monomer decreases were observed for F1, F2, and F3 groups, with no substantial differences between F1, F2 and F3. After incubation at 25 ℃ for 1 month, decreases (about 50%) in PS80 concentration were observed in F1, F2, and F3, compared to T0. The formulation buffer control (F4; not shown) had even lower levels of PS80 after 2 weeks at 25 ℃ and 40 ℃ (< 0.010%), indicating that the degradation was slowed in the presence of antibody (Table 28). These results suggested that the PS80 may have undergone oxidative degradation which is a known degradation pathway that may be accelerated at higher temperatures and/or light exposure. [00416] After incubation at 40 ℃ for 1 month, for F1, F2 and F3, the color deepened slightly compared to the T0 samples, and substantial decreases were observed in SEC, CE-NR and iCIEF results demonstrating these methods as stability indicating. No substantial differences were observed between F1, F2, and F3 in all test results. After incubation at 40 ℃ for 1 month, decreases (about 50%) in in PS80 concentration were observed in which F1, F2, and F3, compared with T0 (Table 28). [00417] After 1000 lux light exposure at 25 ℃ for 14 days, substantial decreases in purity as assessed by SEC, CE-NR, and iCIEF were observed for F1, F2, and F3 (Table 29). In the CE- NR assay, without being bound by theory, the decreased purity may be caused by aggregates instead of fragments. No substantial decreases were observed for dark control samples stored at 25℃ for 7 days and 14 days (two weeks). No substantial difference between F1, F2, and F3 were observed after 1000 lux light exposure for 7 days (1 week) and 14 days (2 weeks). For F2, stored at -70 ℃ for 1 month (1M), a substantial increase in ≥ 2 µm was observed in sub-visible particles results (Table 30). For F1, F2, and F3, stored at -70 ℃ for 1 month, no substantial changes were observed in SEC/Caliper/iCIEF/PS80 test results (Table 30). [00418] For F3, after 5 freeze/thaw (F/T) cycles (F/T-5 Cycles), substantial increases (≥ 2 µm) were observed in sub-visible particles results (Table 31). For F1, F2, and F3, after 5 freeze/thaw cycles, no substantial changes were observed in SEC/Caliper/iCIEF/PS80 test results Table 31). 197 4925-0461-2873 v.1 4925-0461-2873 v.1

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Regarding storage at 5° C, there were no substantial changes in formulations F1 through F3 observed after storage at 5° C for 9 months in all tested quality aspects except PS80 exhibited a 0.017-0.022% decrease over that time. Regarding storage at 25° C, after incubation for 3 months, SEC monomer slight decreases were observed, 1.2%-1.3% CE-SDS-NR purity decreases were observed and slight iCIEF main peak decreases were observed for the F1, F2 and F3 formulations. There were no substantial differences observed between F1, F2 and F3. Regarding PS80 concentrations over time, after incubation at 25°C for one month there were substantial decreases in PS80 concentration observed in formulations F1 through F3 as compared to time zero (T0). For formulation F4, after incubation at 25°C for two weeks, the PS80 concentration was less than 0.010%. Regarding storage at 40° C, after incubation for one month, the color of formulations F1 through F3 deepened slightly compared as compared to the time zero (T0) samples. In addition, substantial decreases in monomer, purity and main peak were observed in formulations F1 through F3 via SEC, CE-NR and iCIEF results, respectively. No substantial differences between formulations F1 through F3 were observed in any of the test results. Regarding PS80 concentrations over time, after incubation at 40℃ for one month there were substantial decreases in PS80 concentration observed in formulations F1 through F3 as compared to time zero (T0). For formulation F4, after incubation at 40°C for one week the PS80 concentration was less than 0.010%. Regarding storage at -70° C, for formulations F1 through F4, after storage at -70℃ for six months, there were substantial increases in sub-visible particles observed. These samples were filled in bags, whereby the samples stuck to the inlet of the bag and as a result may have impacted the sub-visible particle testing. For formulations F1 through F3, no substantial changes were observed in monomer, purity and main peak via SEC, CE-NR and iCIEF, respectively, after storage at -70°C for six months. In addition, no substantial PS80 concentration changes were observed in formulations F1 through F3 after storage at -70℃ for 6 months. Regarding the freeze/thaw studies, F3 exhibited substantial increases (≥2 µm) in sub- visible particle testing results after five freeze/thaw cycles. For all three formulations tested, after five freeze/thaw cycles there were no substantial changes observed in monomer, purity or
Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR main peak (tested via SEC/CE-NR and iCIEF, respectively) and there were also no substantial changes observed in PS80 concentration. Regarding the photostability study, there were no substantial differences between formulations F1 through F3 observed after 1000 lux light exposure for 7 days and 14 days. However, after 1000 lux light exposure for 14 days, substantial decreases in monomer, purity and main peak were observed for all three formulations via SEC, CE-NR and iCIEF, respectively. There were no substantial changes observed in dark control samples stored at 25℃ for 7 days and 14 days. F1, F2, and F3 were designed so that osmolality was approximately 300 mOsm/kg, which is a range that is suitable for injectable parenteral formulations. The osmolality and viscosity results were consistent with previous data for these formulations. For formulations F1 through F3 the histidine, arginine and chloride concentrations were close to the target values. Example 8: Investigation of PS80 Degradation In the stability studies described in Example 7, degradation of PS80 was observed in certain samples under certain conditions. Accordingly, studies were performed to identify the mechanism(s) of PS80 degradation. In one study, formulation buffers were formulated with different lots of raw materials and a metal ion chelator (EDTA-2Na) was added to certain formulations, along with increasing the concentration of PS80 in certain formulations. The formulations tested in the study are shown in Table 40. Table 40: Formulations Tested in Metal Ion Chelator Study ,

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Regarding the results shown in Table 42, samples with added EDTA showed no significant degradation, while some samples with 1% PS80 added but without EDTA were observed to possibly undergo degradation. The protein-free formulation buffer did not undergo significant degradation under any conditions. Overall, the results of the PS80 degradation studies determined that PS80 degradation was mediated by oxidation (major) and hydrolysis (minor). From a formulation perspective, PS80 degradation can be addressed by, for example, inclusion of a metal ion chelator in the formulation or by use of an alternate surfactant, as described further in Example 9. Example 9: Formulations to Counteract PS80 Degradation To evaluate formulations to counteract PS80 degradation, a panel of formulations was prepared that included either PS80 or P188 as surfactant. Additionally, a metal ion chelator was included in some formulations and omitted from others. The formulations were tested for various quality parameters, as described in previous examples. Table 43 shows results for surfactant stability (%) over time at the indicated temperatures. Table 44 and Table 45 show the SE-UPLC results over time at 25°C and 5°C, respectively. Table 46 and Table 47 show the iCIEF results over time at 25°C and 5°C, respectively. Analysis of SE-UPLC is presented as monomer peak normalized to T0 and high molecular weight species (HMW) are presented as a fold-change over T0. Values for low molecular weight (LMW) species for all tested samples at all conditions < 1.0%. Analysis of iCIEF is presented as main peak (MP) normalized to T0 and acidic peaks (AP) and basic peaks (BP) are presented as a fold-change over T0.

In F01/F02 (no EDTA.2Na), adding EDTA.2Na (F3- F8) improved the PS80 stability. For F9-F12, no P188 content changes were observed after incubation at 40 ℃, 25 ℃ and 5℃ for 4 weeks. Regarding the SE-UPLC data in Table 44 and Table 45, no substantial changes of SEC monomer % were observed after 4 weeks incubation at either 25℃ or 5℃ for all formulations. No substantial differences were observed among all formulations. Regarding the iCIEF data in Table 46, a slight decrease in main peak% was observed after 4 weeks incubation at 25℃ compared with T0, whereas no substantial change of main peak% were observed after 4 weeks incubation at 5℃ for all formulations compared with T0 (Table 47). No substantial differences were observed among all formulations. Regarding the CE-SDS-NR data in Table 48, no substantial change of CE-NR purity was observed after 4W incubation at 5 ℃ or 25℃ compared with T0. 3.1-3.4% CE-NR purity was observed in all formulations after 4W incubation at 40℃. Regarding the CE-SDS-NR data in Table 49, no substantial change of CE-R purity was observed after 4W incubation at 5 ℃ or 25℃ compared with T0. 1.3-1.8% CE-R purity was observed in all formulations after 4W incubation at 40℃. No substantial differences were observed among all formulations. Overall, the studies demonstrated that addition of a metal ion chelator (EDTA) to the formulations mitigated PS80 degradation and formulations that used P188 instead of PS80 exhibited no degradation over time at various temperatures. Example 10: Determination of Minimum Effective Amount of PS80 to Protect Against Mechanical Shear Stress This example describes a study to establish a minimum PS80 concentration that can protect the formulation against mechanical stress induced by agitation (e.g., during shipping). Formulations having PS80 concentrations of 0, 0.0005, 0.003, 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 % (w/v) were evaluated for their resistance against agitation at 300 rpm for 3 days. Tested formulations are shown in Table 51. Table 51: Formulations with Varying PS80 Concentrations

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR Regarding the sub-visible particle data in Table 53, except for F07/F13/F14, no substantial changes of sub-visible particles were observed after 3 days of agitation. Analysis of SE-UPLC is presented as monomer peak normalized to T0 and high molecular weight species (HMW) are presented as a fold-change over T0. Values for low molecular weight (LMW) species for all tested samples at all conditions < 1.0%. Analysis of iCIEF is presented as main peak (MP) normalized to T0 and acidic peaks (AP) and basic peaks (BP) are presented as a fold-change over T0. Regarding the SE-UPLC data in Table 54, no substantial changes in SEC monomer % were observed after 3 days of agitation. Regarding the iCIEF data in Table 55, no substantial changes in the iCIEF main peak % were observed after 3 days of agitation. Regarding the CE-SDS-R/NR data in Table 56, no substantial changes in CE-R or NR purity % were observed after 3 days of agitation. Overall, no substantial changes were observed in all the tested quality items after 3 days of agitation except the visible particles and sub-visible particles in F13/F14. A PS80 concentration higher than 0.0005% was shown to efficiently protect against particle formation from agitation in the formulation. Samples with PS80 > 0.003% showed good resistance against mechanical stress induced by agitation. Example 11: Compatibility Studies with Glass Pre-Filled Syringes and Rubber Plunger Stoppers The IL-13 antibody formulation was evaluated for compatibility with additional pre-filled syringe (PFS) components: the syringes and plunger stoppers. Compatibility with two different syringe types from two different manufacturers (C and D) and two different plunger stoppers from two different manufacturers (A and B) were evaluated. The results for subvisible particles over time and at increasing temperatures are shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, which show results for particles equal to or greater than 2 µm or 10 µm, respectively. The results for pH and PS80 stability are shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, respectively. The SEC data results are shown in FIG. 5, wherein the data has been normalized to 100% at T=0. The iCIEF data results are shown in FIG. 6, wherein the data has been normalized to 100% at T=0. The CE-SDS results are shown in FIG. 7A (non-reduced) and FIG. 7B (reduced). ELISA data for container closure compatibility are shown in FIG. 8. Table 57

Attorney Docket No.: AOE-003PR In summary, all biochemical assays and physicochemical assays showed a similar performance for the syringes and plunger combinations tested except for sub-visible particles, wherein certain syringes demonstrated a lower total particle load than others and thus are recommended for selection. The results of the studies demonstrated that the IL-13 antibody formulation is compatible with glass pre-filled syringes and rubber plunger stoppers and support a pre-filled syringe product presentation. Example 12: Two Lead Formulation Candidates Confirmed through 3 Months Stability Data Two lead formulation candidates from non-GMP development lots were tested for 3- month stability after storage at various conditions. The anti-IL-13 antibody (protein) used in this example was Construct 133.
