Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of inducing anti-glatiramer acetate specific antibodies in a human subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis, comprising administration to the human subject of three subcutaneous injections of a 40 mg/ml dose of glatiramer acetate per week for at least 12 months, such that the level of anti-GA specific antibodies in the blood or serum of the human subject i) increases for up to about 6 months after an initial 40 mg/ml dose of glatiramer acetate of the administration is administered to the human subject.
Abstract:
The patent provides a process of preparing a pharmaceutical preparation of glatiramer acetate and mannitol in a suitable container comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining an aqueous pharmaceutical solution of glatiramer acetate and mannitol; (ii) filtering the aqueous pharmaceutical solution at a temperature of from above 0°C up to 17.5°C to produce a filtrate; and (iii) filling the suitable container with the filtrate obtained after performing step (ii), so as to thereby prepare the pharmaceutical preparation of glatiramer acetate and mannitol in the suitable container. This patent further provides an aqueous pharmaceutical solution comprising 40mg/ml glatiramer acetate and 40mg/ml mannitol, wherein the aqueous pharmaceutical solution a) has a viscosity in the range of 2.0-3.5 cPa; or b) has an osmolality in the range of 275-325 mosmol/Kg. This patent also provides a prefilled syringe, an automated injector and a method of treatment of a human patient.
