ANTIBODY GEL SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINED DRUG DELIVERY

摘要

Antibody formulations, and methods for their manufacture, which (i) are capable of preserving an antibody in a native and therapeutically active state while achieving a depot effect without the use of polymers or other complex formulation reagents and (ii) provide very high loading capacity, thus offering the potential for increased dose per application to patient. These formulations take the form of a gel and are based on the surprising finding that some monoclonal antibodies have a gelation property under appropriate conditions.
