Description
Novel Albumin-Free Factor VIII Formulations BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Factor VIII is a protein found in blood plasma which acts as a cofactor in the cascade of reactions leading to blood coagulation. A deficiency in the amount of Factor VIII activity in the blood results in the clotting disorder known as hemophilia A, an inherited condition primarily affecting males. Hemophilia A
is currently treated with therapeutic preparations of Factor VIII derived from human plasma or manufactured using recombinant DNA technology. Such preparations are administered either in response to a bleeding episode (on-demand therapy) or at frequent, regular intervals to prevent uncontrolled bleeding (prophylaxis).
Factor VIII is known to be relatively unstable in therapeutic preparations. In blood plasma, Factor VIII is usually complexed with another plasma protein, von Willebrand factor (vWF), which is present in plasma in a large molar excess to Factor VIII and is believed to protect Factor VIII from premature degradation. Another circulating plasma protein, albumin, may also play a role in stabilizing Factor VIII in vivo. Currently marketed Factor VIII
preparations therefore primarily rely on the use of albumin and/or vWF to stabilize Factor VIII during the manufacturing process and during storage.
The albumin and vWF used in currently marketed Factor VIII preparations is derived from human blood plasma, however, and the use of such material has certain drawbacks. Because a large molar excess of albumin compared to Factor VIII is generally added in order to increase the stability of the Factor VIII
in such preparations, it is difficult to characterize the Factor VIII protein itself in these preparations. The addition of human-derived albumin to Factor VIII is

2 also perceived as being a disadvantage with respect to recombinantly-produced Factor VIII preparations. This is because recombinantly-derived Factor VIII
preparations, in the absence of such added albumin, would otherwise contain no human-derived proteins, and the theoretical risk of transmitting a virus would be reduced.
Several attempts to formulate Factor VIII without albumin or vWF (or with relatively low levels of these excipients) have been described. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,565,427 (EP 508 194) to Freudenberg (assigned to Behringwerke) describes Factor VIII preparations which contain particular combinations of detergent and amino acids, specifically arginine and glycine, in addition to excipients such as sodium chloride and sucrose. The detergent, polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80, is described as being present in amounts of between 0.001 to 0.5% (v/v), while arginine and glycine are present in amounts of between 0.01 to 1 mol/l. Sucrose is described as being present in amounts of between 0.1 and 10%. Example 2 of this patent asserts that solutions of (1) 0.75% sucrose, 0.4 M glycine, and 0.15M NaCl, and (2) 0.01 M sodium citrate, 0.08 M glycine, 0.016M lysine, 0.0025 M calcium chloride, and 0.4 M sodium chloride were not stable in solution over 16 hours, whereas solutions of (3) 1%
sucrose, 0.14 M arginine, 0.1 M sodium chloride and (4) 1 % sucrose, 0.4 M
glycine, 0.14 M arginine, 0.1 M sodium chloride, and 0.05% Tween 80 exhibited stability.
U.S. Patent No. 5,763,401 (EP 818 204) to Nayer (assigned to Bayer) also describes a therapeutic Factor VIII formulation without albumin, comprising 15-60 mM sucrose, up to 50 mM NaCl, up to 5 mM calcium chloride, 65-400 mM glycine, and up to 50 mM histidine. The following specific formulations were identified as being stable: (1) 150 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM calcium chloride, and 165 mM mannitol; and (2) 1% sucrose, 30 mM sodium chloride, 2.5 mM
preparations, in the absence of such added albumin, would otherwise contain no human-derived proteins, and the theoretical risk of transmitting a virus would be reduced.

3 calcium chloride, 20 mM histidine, and 290 mM glycine. A formulation containing higher amounts of sugar (10% maltose, 50 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM
calcium chloride, and 5 mM histidine) was found to exhibit poor stability in the lyophilized state compared with formulation (2).
U.S. Patent No. 5,733,873 (EP 627 924) to Osterberg (assigned to Pharmacia &
Upjohn) discloses formulations which include between 0.01 - 1 mg/ml of a surfactant. This patent discloses formulations having the following ranges of excipients: polysorbate 20 or 80 in an amount of at least 0.01 mg/ml, preferably 0.02 - 1.0 mg/ml; at least 0.1 M NaCl; at least 0.5mM calcium salt; and at least 1 mM histidine. More particularly, the following specific formulations are disclosed: (1) 14.7 - 50 - 65 mM histidine, 0.31 - 0.6 M NaCl, 4 mM calcium chloride, 0.001 - 0.02 - 0.025% polysorbate 80, with or without 0.1 % PEG 4000 or 19.9 mM sucrose; and (2) 20 mg/ml mannitol, 2.67 mg/ml histidine, 18 mg/ml NaCl, 3.7 mM calcium chloride, and 0.23 mg/ml polysorbate 80.
Other attempts to use low or high concentrations of sodium chloride have also been described. U.S. Patent No. 4,877,608 (EP 315 968) to Lee (assigned to Rhone-Poulenc Rorer) teaches formulations with relatively low concentrations of sodium chloride, namely formulations comprising 0.5 mM - 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM calcium chloride, 0.2 mM - 5 mM histidine, 0.01 - 10 mM lysine hydrochloride and up to 10% sugar. The "sugar" can be up to 10% maltose, 10% sucrose, or 5% mannitol.
US 5,605,884 (EP 0 314 095) to Lee (assigned to Rhone-Poulenc Rorer) teaches the use of formulations with relatively high concentrations of sodium chloride.
These formulations include 0.35 M -1.2 M NaCl, 1.5 - 40 mM calcium chloride, 1 mM - 50 mM histidine, and up to 10% of a "sugar" such as mannitol, sucrose,
calcium chloride, and 5 mM histidine) was found to exhibit poor stability in the lyophilized state compared with formulation (2).

4 or maltose. A formulation comprising 0.45 M NaCl, 2.3 mM calcium chloride, and 1.4 mM histidine is exemplified.
International Patent Application WO 96/22107 to Roser (assigned to Quadrant Holdings Cambridge Limited) describes formulations which include the sugar trehalose. These formulations comprise: (1) 0.1 M NaCl, 15 mM calcium chloride, 15 mM histidine, and 1.27 M (48%) trehalose: or (2) 0.011 % calcium TM
chloride, 0.12% histidine, 0.002% Tris, 0.002% Tween 80, 0.004% PEG 3350, 7.5% trehalose, and either 0.13% or 1.03% NaCl.
]0 Other therapeutic Factor VIII formulations of the prior art generally include albumin and/or vWF for the purpose of stabilizing Factor VIII and are therefore not relevant to the present invention. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,328,694 (EP 511 234) to Schwinn (assigned to Octapharma AG) describes a formulation is which includes 100 - 650 mM disaccharide and 100 mM- 1.0 M amino acid.
Specifically, the following formulations are disclosed: (1) 0.9 M sucrose, 0.25 M glycine, 0.25 M lysine, and 3 mM calcium chloride; and (2) 0.7 M sucrose, 0.5 M glycine, and 5 mM calcium chloride.
20 While several attempts have been made to formulate Factor VIII without albumin or vWF, there remains a need for therapeutic Factor VIII formulations which are stable in the absence of albumin or other proteins.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
25 The present invention relates to therapeutic Factor VIII compositions which are stable in the absence of albumin. In particular, the present invention comprises a Factor VIII composition comprising, in addition to Factor VIII: 4% to 10 %

(a) lowering the temperature of the lyophilizer chamber to at least about -45 C; (b) raising the temperature of the chamber to between about -15 C and -25 C; and subsequently (c) lowering the temperature of the chamber to at least about -45 C. In this process, the temperature of the chamber is preferably lowered or raised at a rate of between about 0.5 C and about 1.0 C per minute. In step (a), the temperature is preferably maintained for about 1 hour, and is lowered to about -55 C. In step (b) the temperature is preferably maintained be -15 C and -25 C for between 1 and 3 hours, and more preferably is at -22 C, and the temperature in step (c) is preferably maintained for about 1 hour. The Factor VIII composition used in this process preferably comprises between 4% and 10 % of an agent selected from the group consisting of mannitol, glycine and alanine, and also preferably comprises between I% and 4% of an agent selected from the group consisting of sucrose, trehalose, raffinose, and arginine. In addition, the Factor VIII
7 composition used in this process also preferably comprises between 100 mM and 300 mM NaCl.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a Factor VIII composition formulated without adding albumin to said composition, comprising the following formulation excipients in addition to Factor VIII: 4%
to 10% of a bulking agent selected from the group consisting of mannitol, glycine and alanine; I% to 4% of a stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of sucrose, trehalose, raffinose, and arginine; 1 mM to 5 mM calcium salt; 100 mM
to 300 mM NaCl; and a buffering agent for maintaining a pH of approximately between 6 and 8.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Definitions As used herein, the terms below and variations thereof shall be defined as follows, unless otherwise indicated:
Factor VIII- The Factor VIII molecule exists naturally and in therapeutic preparations as a heterogeneous distribution of polypeptides arising from a single gene product (see, e.g., Anderson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83, 2979-2983, May 1986).

9 Formulation Components The Factor VIII compositions of the present invention include bulking agents, stabilizing agents, buffering agents, sodium chloride, calcium salts, and, advantageously, other excipients. These excipients have been chosen in order to maximize the stability of Factor VIII in lyophilized preparations. However, the Factor VIII compositions of the present invention exhibit stability in the liquid state as well.
The bulking agents used in the present formulations, which form the crystalline portion of the lyophilized product (except in the case of HES), are selected from the group consisting of mannitol, glycine, alanine, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). Mannitol, glycine, or alanine are present in an amount of 4 - 10%, preferably 6 - 9%, and more preferably about 8%. When HES is used as a bulking agent, it is present in an amount of 2 - 6%, preferably 3 - 5%, and more preferably about 4%.
The stabilizing agents used in the formulations of the present invention are selected from the group consisting of sucrose, trehalose, raffinose, and arginine.
These agents are present in the formulations of the present invention in an amount of between 1 - 4%, preferably 2 - 3%, more preferably about 2%.
Sorbitol and glycerol were evaluated as possible stabilizers but were found to be poor stabilizers in the present formulations.
Sodium chloride is included in the present formulations in an amount of 100 -300 mM, preferably 150 - 250 mM, and most preferably about 225 mM. In one embodiment of the present invention, sodium chloride itself can be used without any of the aforementioned bulking agents, in which case it would be included in the formulation in an amount of between 300 mM and 500 mM NaCl, preferably 350 to 450 mM NaCl, and more preferably about 400 mM NaCl.
In addition, buffers are present in these formulations, because it is believed that 5 the Factor VIII molecule can be adversely affected by pH shifts during lyophilization. The pH should preferably be maintained in the range of between 6 and 8 during lyophilization, and more preferably at a pH of about 7. The buffering agent can be any physiologically acceptable chemical entity or combination of chemical entities which have the capacity to act as buffers,

The pH should preferably be maintained in the range of between 6 and 8 during lyophilization, and more preferably at a pH of about 7. The buffering agent can be any physiologically acceptable chemical entity or combination of chemical entities which have the capacity to act as buffers,
10 including histidine, Tris, BIS-Tris Propane, PIPES, MOPS, HEPES, MES and ACES. The full chemical designations of these buffering agents is listed in Table 1 below. Typically, the buffering agent is included in a concentration of 10 - 50 mM. When histidine is added to the formulations, concentrations of over 20 mM and preferably about 25 mM are used, alone or in combination with other buffers such as Tris. Histidine is especially preferred for use in the compositions of the present invention, as described in greater detail below.

11 maintaining the association of the heavy and light chains of Factor VIII.
Between 1 mM and 5 mM of a calcium salt can be used, more preferably 3 - 4 mM, and most preferably about 4 mM. The calcium salt is preferably calcium chloride, but can also be other calcium salts such as calcium gluconate, calcium glubionate, or calcium gluceptate.
The Factor VIII compositions of the present invention also preferably include a surfactant, preferably in an amount of 0.1 % or less, and more preferably in an amount of about 0.03%. The surfactant can, for example, be chosen from the group consisting of polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, pluronic polyols, and Brij 35 (polyoxyethylene 23 lauryl ether). Several grades of pluronic polyols (sold under the trade name Pluronic, manufactured by the BASF Wyandotte Corporation) are available. These polyols, of diversified molecular weight (from 1,000 to over 16,000) and physicochemical properties have been used as surfactants. Pluronic F-38, of a molecular weight of 5,000 and Pluronic F-68, molecular weight 9,000, both contain (by weight) 80 per cent hydrophilic polyoxyethylene groups and 20 percent hydrophobic polyoxypropylene groups.
Tween-80, a commercial polysorbate, however, is preferred in the present formulations, in particular vegetable-derived Tween-80.
The Factor VIII formulations of the present invention also preferably include an antioxidant. The addition of antioxidants to the lyophilized formulations of the invention has been found to improve the stability of these formulations, and thus extend their shelf lives. The antioxidants used must be compatible for use with a pharmaceutical preparation, and in addition are preferably water soluble.
When adding antioxidants to a formulation, it is preferable to add such antioxidants as late in the process prior to lyophilization as possible, in order to avoid spontaneous oxidation of the antioxidant. Table 2 below lists suitable

12 antioxidants, which are available commercially through companies such as Calbiochem and Sigma.

Concentrations in the range of about 0.05 mg/ml to more than 1.0 mg/ml have all been found to enhance the stability of Factor VIII compositions, and it is believed that higher concentrations would also be useful (up to the point of any toxic effects or adverse manufacturing effects, such as a depression of the glass transition temperature of the lyophilized product).
It has been found in particular that the combination of histidine and glutathione produces synergistically beneficial effects on the stability of Factor VIII
compositions. Histidine, while acting as a buffer, can also act as a metal chelator. To the extent that Factor VIII inactivation is caused by metal-induced oxidation, histidine can therefore act to stabilize Factor VIII by binding such oxidizing metal ions. It is believed that by binding these metals, the glutathione (or indeed any other antioxidant present) is thereby able to provide further

Other chelating agents might also be used in the compositions of the present invention. Such agents should preferably bind metals such as copper and iron with greater affinity than calcium, if a calcium salt is being used in the composition. One such chelator is deferoxamine, a chelating agent that facilitates the removal of Al++ and iron. Deferoxamine Mesylate, C25H48N608*CH4O3S, can be obtained from Sigma (Sigma Prod. No.
D9533). It is an aluminum and iron(II) chelator which chelates iron (as a 1:1 chelate complex) only in the +3 oxidation state, not +2 oxidation state, and can also bind manganese ion and other metals. Deferoxamine can be used advantageously in an amount of 0.25 mg/l.
The Factor VIII used in the present formulations can be either highly purified human plasma-derived Factor VIII or more preferably can be recombinantly produced Factor VIII. Recombinant Factor VIII can be produced by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with a vector carrying a DNA sequence coding for the Factor VIII molecule. Methods for creating such transfected CHO
cells are described, inter alia, in U.S. Patent No. 4,757,006 to Toole, Jr., though alternative methods are also known to the art (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No.
4,868,112, also to Toole, Jr., and PCT International Application WO-A-91/09122). The methods used to culture such CHO cells to produce Factor VIII
are also known to the art, for example in European Patent Application No. 0 218 to Genetics Institute, entitled "Improved method for producing Factor VIII:C-type proteins." Recombinant Factor VIII can, however, also be produced in other cell lines, such as baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The Factor VIII
molecule itself, if recombinantly produced, can be either full-length Factor VIII

molecule itself, if recombinantly produced, can be either full-length Factor VIII
14 or a deletion derivative thereof, such as a B domain-deleted Factor VIII
molecule.
While the Factor VIII compositions described in this application can be lyophilized and reconstituted in the indicated concentrations, one of skill in the art will understand that these preparations can also be reconstituted in more dilute form. For example, a preparation according the present invention which is lyophilized and/or normally reconstituted in 2 ml of solution can also be reconstituted in a larger volume of diluent, such as 5 ml. This is particularly appropriate when the Factor VIII preparation is being injected into a patient immediately, since in this case the Factor VIII is less likely to lose activity, which may occur more rapidly in more dilute solutions of Factor VIII.
Formulation and Lyophilization Development In order to achieve maximal stability, the Factor VIII compositions of the present invention are preferably lyophilized. During lyophilization, Factor VIII
is converted from being in an aqueous phase to being in an amorphous solid phase, which is thought to protect the protein from chemical and/or conformational instability. The lyophilized preparation not only contains an amorphous phase, but also includes a component which crystallizes during lyophilization. This is thought to allow the rapid lyophilization of the Factor VIII composition and the formation of a more elegant cake (that is, a cake with minimal shrinkage from the sides of the container in which it was lyophilized).
In the formulations of the present invention, the stabilizing agents have been selected to exist primarily in an amorphous phase of the lyophilized product, while the bulking agents (except HES) have been selected to crystallize during freezing.
Both the Factor VIII and the stabilizer are preferably dispersed in the amorphous phase of the lyophilized cake. The mass of the stabilizer is also preferably large compared to the other excipients in the amorphous form. In addition, the apparent glass transition temperature (Tg') of the amorphous phase 5 is preferably relatively high during freeze-drying, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the solid is likewise preferably high during storage.
Crystallization of sodium chloride in the product was found to be desirable, since amorphous sodium chloride will depress the Ts' of the amorphous phase.
10 In order to avoid the collapse of the cake of a particular composition, primary drying is preferably carried out at a product temperature below the apparent glass transition temperature of the freeze concentrate. An increase in drying time may also be required to offset a decrease in T,. Further information on lyophilization may be found in Carpenter, J.F. and Chang, B.S., Lyophilization

per minute. Once the desired temperature is reached, the composition is held at that temperature for between 1 and 3 hours. This improved freezing cycle is shown in Table 6 below.

Unless otherwise indicated, the temperatures referred to in this example and in other examples refer to the shelf temperature of the lyophilizer and not to the temperature of the product per se. Following the improved freezing cycle, the remainder of the lyophilization process can be conducted as outlined in Example 1 above, or otherwise as described further herein or as determined by one of skill in the art.
This improved lyophilization process was found to be useful for formulations which include glycine as the bulking agent as well as those which use mannitol.
It is further believed to have applicability to formulations which make use of the other bulking agents of the present invention as well.
Example 3 It is believed that in order to produce a freeze-dried product with acceptable cake appearance and glass transition temperature, the bulking agent of lyophilized pharmaceutical preparations which contain sodium chloride, such as 5 glycine or mannitol, may need to be crystallized. The following improved lyophilization process for crystallizable bulking agents was therefore developed.

It is believed that steps of longer duration would also be effective.
21 Prior to the first freezing step, the temperature is brought to between about and 8 C for about one hour for the purpose of bringing all the vials to approximately the same temperature. After this the lyophilizer is cooled to -C. The first freezing step should be performed at a temperature less than -5 30 C, preferably below -35 C, and more preferably at about -40 C. Following this, the first annealing step should occur at a temperature of between -30 C
and -19 C, more preferably either between about -25 C and -28 C (if glycine is the bulking agent) or between -21 C and -24 C (if mannitol is the bulking agent), with the temperatures of -23 C and -26 C being most preferred, at which temperatures it is believed that the crystallizable bulking agents crystallize, at least in part. However, the lower range around -27 C is not recommended for formulations containing mannitol and arginine. This step is preferably carried out for about 3 hours.
Following the first annealing step, the temperature is lowered, preferably to less than about -50 C and more preferably to less than -55 C, for about 1 hour. It is believed that the sodium chloride in the preparation nucleates at this time.
During the second annealing step, the temperature of the pharmaceutical preparation is raised to between about -30 C and -39 C, and preferably to about -33 C for mannitol-containing compositions and -36 C for glycine-containing compositions. It is believed that NaCl crystal growth occurs at this time, at least in part. This step is preferably conducted for about 4 hours. Following this, the temperature of the lyophilizer is reduced to about -50 C, preferably for about hour in order to reduce the temperature of the preparation.
In the freeze-drying steps which follow, changes in temperature occurred at a rate of between about 0.1 C/minute and 0.5 C/minute. After reducing the pressure in the lyophilizer to about 65 mTorr, the temperature is raised to
and -19 C, more preferably either between about -25 C and -28 C (if glycine is the bulking agent) or between -21 C and -24 C (if mannitol is the bulking agent), with the temperatures of -23 C and -26 C being most preferred, at which temperatures it is believed that the crystallizable bulking agents crystallize, at least in part. However, the lower range around -27 C is not recommended for formulations containing mannitol and arginine. This step is preferably carried out for about 3 hours.

During the second annealing step, the temperature of the pharmaceutical preparation is raised to between about -30 C and -39 C, and preferably to about -33 C for mannitol-containing compositions and -36 C for glycine-containing compositions. It is believed that NaCl crystal growth occurs at this time, at least in part. This step is preferably conducted for about 4 hours. Following this, the temperature of the lyophilizer is reduced to about -50 C, preferably for about hour in order to reduce the temperature of the preparation.
In the freeze-drying steps which follow, changes in temperature occurred at a rate of between about 0.1 C/minute and 0.5 C/minute. After reducing the pressure in the lyophilizer to about 65 mTorr, the temperature is raised to
22 between about -32 C and -35 C for primary drying. Ice crystals in the preparation will sublimate at this temperature. This step is performed for up to about 100 hours, or until most of the ice has been sublimated from the preparation. The point at which most of the ice has sublimated can be determined, for example, using a dewpoint sensor, which indicates the end of the sublimation of ice when the readings decrease (the point of inflection).
Following primary drying, the temperature is raised to +40 C, preferably at a rate of 0.2 C/minute, to initiate secondary drying to remove further water from the preparation. This temperature is preferably maintained for about three hours. Second and third secondary drying steps follow this first step, where the temperature is raised to about +45 C for about three hours and then to about +50 C for three more hours in order to reduce the moisture in the lyophilized cake to less than 2% (w/w).
Example 4 Further studies were performed to examine specifically the effect of histidine on lyophilized Factor VIII compositions containing glycine or mannitol as bulking agents. Non-reversing heat flow (Modulated DSC, mDSC) was used to detect the crystallization of these bulking agents during cooling. Both the temperature of crystallization and the total heat of crystallization were determined from the crystallization exotherm. The appearance of the NaCI eutectic melt endotherm during warming was used to detect NaCl crystallization. In mDSC, the extent of crystallization was determined as the ratio of the enthalpy of melting of the formulation to the enthalpy of melting of pure NaCI solution by using the total heat flow signal. In addition, X-ray diffraction analyses were performed in order to determine the extent of crystallization in the lyophilized formulations.

In addition, X-ray diffraction analyses were performed in order to determine the extent of crystallization in the lyophilized formulations.
23 While histidine concentrations less than 20 mM did not significantly impact the crystallization of glycine, 50 mM histidine reduced the extent of glycine crystallization. Well-defined NaCl crystallization exotherms were not observed during cooling of formulations containing glycine. However, eutectic melting endotherms during heating indicated that NaCl was crystallized (> 50%) after cooling lower than -50 C and annealing at -30 C, -35 C and -40 C. The inclusion of 50 mM histidine in the glycine-containing formulation retarded NaC1 crystallization. Consequently, the annealing time was increased 3-fold for such formulations in order to achieve an equivalent crystallinity.
However, the effect of 20 mM histidine on the crystallization of NaCl in the glycine-containing formulations was minimal. In freeze-drying studies, collapse of the lyophilized cake was observed visually in glycine-containing formulations containing 50 mM histidine. X-ray powder diffraction data indicated a decrease in the crystallinity of NaCI in samples containing histidine.
In mannitol-containing formulations, typically 83% - 90% of the sodium chloride crystallized during cooling between -40 C and -50 C without the need for annealing. While inclusion of 20 mM histidine to the formulation suppressed NaCI crystallization during cooling, annealing resulted in approximately 40% crystallization of the NaCl.
Therefore, in formulations containing a crystallizable bulking agent, such as glycine or mannitol, and NaCl, the inclusion of histidine may decrease the extent of crystallization of NaCl. Although this could in some cases lead to the collapse of the cake which is formed during lyophilization, the use of relatively lower concentrations of histidine in such formulations can mitigate this effect.
Nonetheless, acceptable cakes have been formed with concentrations of histidine of 35 mM and 50 mM. Histidine may also be preferable to HEPES as a buffer in mannitol- and glycine-based formulations, as the use of HEPES has

Example 5 The physical characteristics of a number of potential Factor VIII
formulations, including seven candidate stabilizers and five bulking agents, were evaluated in another study.
