The present invention relates to aqueous formulations comprising a compound neutralizing GM-CSF in concentrations of at least about 20 mg/ml, a tonicity modifier and a buffer, wherein the composition is stable. The ingredients of the formulation preferably provide stability to the compound neutralizing GM-CSF in view of long-term storage. In a preferred aspect, the formulation is for use in therapy, preferably for use in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, preferably including allergic and psoriatic disorders, as well as arthritic and asthmatic disorders. Furthermore, a kit comprising the formulation of the invention is provided.

Liquid formulation comprising GM-CSF neutralizing compound

The present invention relates to compositions comprising polypeptides, especially polypeptides capable of specifically binding predetermined antigens. The polypeptide in the composition comprises at least two antigen binding sites. These at least two antigen binding sites are located on a single polypeptide chain. One of the at least two antigen binding sites specifically binds the human CD3 antigen. The polypeptide may exist in both monomeric form and multimeric form. The multimeric form of the polypeptide constitutes no more than 5% of the total weight of the combined monomeric and multimeric forms of said polypeptide.

Compositions comprising polypeptides

The present invention relates to aqueous formulations comprising at least 20 mg/ml of a compound neutralizing GM-CSF, a lyoprotectant and an amino acid and/or a buffer. The ingredients of the formulation preferably provide stability to the compound neutralizing GM-CSF in view of lyophilization, storage and reconstruction. In a preferred aspect, the formulation, e.g. after reconstruction, is for use in therapy, preferably for use in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, preferably including allergic and psoriatic disorders, as well as arthritic and asthmatic disorders. Furthermore, a kit comprising the formulation of the invention is provided.
