PROTEIN FORMULATION COMPRISING COAGULATION FACTOR VIII OR FACTOR IX IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a final drug product of a plasma protein selected from the group consisting of coagulation factor VIII and factor IX, in a aqueous solution, wherein the concentration of oxygen in the solution is reduced and/or the solution contains an antioxidant, and wherein the solution further contains a carbohydrate in a concentration of at least 350 mg/ml. In this way, the protein activity can be essentially retained after storage for at least 6 months. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the final drug product, and a method for improving the long-term stability of coagulation factor VIII and factor IX in an aqueous solution, wherein the solution contains a carbohydrate in a concentration of at least 350 mg/ml, and wherein the solution is stored in its final container under an oxygen-reduced atmosphere.
